Helen Keen

This new show is going to be about the power of the mind how it works and how weird and wonderful discoveries about it have been made.

Helen is going to look at some of the oldest and oddest ideas about the brain and how we distinguish between lies and the truth and ,in particular, a group that researchers have called Truth Wizards people who are unusually accurate at telling when people are lying to them.

As with previous shows, she will mix funny stories about historical figures and discoveries with stories from her own life using a combination of lecture, stand-up comedy, audience participation, Powerpoint, silly props and shadow puppets.

For age 18 and over.
