Thank you for finding this page!

FROM SEPTEMBER 2020 ... after 2,500 events over 20 years I'm now cutting back on most live events. However if you have an interesting festival, prize giving or fun maths day, please get in touch.

Festivals

  • I show tricks and strange stuff from my Murderous Maths series, suitable for all ages.
  • I can talk about any of my other books, in particular The Runaway Pea series (for ages 3-6) or Harry Houdini.
  • I do a combined session with some maths fun and a bit of the others!

Streaming: events are often streamed live, and if time allows I can answer questions online as well as from the audience.

Primary Schools

  • I do an afternoon Murderous Maths show (up to 75 mins) suitable for yrs 3-6.
  • I can talk more generally about my books including The Runaway Pea series (for infants)
If you want me in school for a longer day, please enquire.
You'll find more details here: Primary School Visits

Secondary Schools

  • If you're having a maths day for your local primary schools or families, I can do a suitable show (up to 75 mins).

Video Events

If a school visit isn't practical, you might like a video event.
