January news – Biggest show! Smallest show! Podcast show!

Helen — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 07:48:18 +0000

Not much news volumistic term this month, but exciting content-wise!

The main event in it is our biggest ever Festival of the Spoken Nerd show, at the Theatre Royal Haymarket! ZOMG!

Contains news about co-hosting the biggest show I’ve ever done, and the smallest show I’ve ever done, in the space of a fortnight, plus links to the latest “Extra Time For Questions” podcast. Here’s me, Matt and Steve, making idiots of ourselves in the name of science, maths and general nerdery again:

October News – my first music video!

Helen — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:40:19 +0000

I’ve just sent out a newsletter containing something I’ve been working on for months… an animated music video for my newest song, You & Me & Walt Disney.

There’s lots of other bits and pieces in it, like new free songs and gig around the country soon.

Here’s the link: Helen Arney – October News

Edinburgh Fringe is GO!

It’s that time of year again… I’m on a train speeding toward Edinburgh for the month of August.

One of the main reasons I’m there is to write and perform in Alchemy, an awesome secret sketch show happening most weekends. It’s full of new stuff, new comedians and I’m sorting out lots of music for it. It is going to be awesome. For all the latest about that, follow AlchemyEH1 on twitter.

The other reason is our one-off Festival of the Spoken Nerd on the Free Fringe on Wednesday 16th August (see flyer above by brilliant Tom Humberstone!)

Of course, that’s not enough so I’ve found another 40 or so gigs to do, including Robin Ince’s lunchtime science show, Storytellers Club, The Great Sketch Off, Bitch Doctors, Tricity Vogue’s Ukulele Cabaret, Richard Wiseman’s Secret Society show, Comedy Countdown at the Gilded Balloon, Devil’s Advocate for Skeptics on the Fringe, Totally Acoustic with MJ Hibbett, Richard Sandling’s Perfect Movie, a tonne of mixed bill showcases including one with my girlband The Balconettes and…

…well, I could go on, but they’re all listed here:

If you’re in Edinburgh any time in August, come to one of them and say hello!
