The Ugly Animal Preservation Society

Event information

A night of stand-up comedy with a conservation twist!

The UGLY ANIMAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY is an evening dedicated to raising the profile of some of Mother Nature’s more aesthetically challenged children. The panda gets too much attention.
Our society needs a mascot, one to rival the cute and cuddly emblems of many charities and organisations. And so I have gathered a terrific line up of comedians who will each champion a different ugly endangered species and at the end of the evening the audience shall vote for what will become our society’s symbol. It is going to be a great night! Money raised will go to charity.

Our acts are-

MC Simon Watt (Channel 4’s Inside Nature’s Giants)

Suzi Ruffell (nominated for the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2011)

Helen Arney (Festival of The Spoken Nerd, Infinite Monkey Cage)

Punk Science (The Science Museum)

Bush and McCluskey (award winning musical comedians)

Helen Keen (BBC Radio 4’s It Is Rocket Science)

Steve Cross (Bright Club, Science Show Off)

Dan Schrieber (QI elf and creator of The Museum Of Curiosity)
