Robin Ince's SEA SHAMBLES Comes to Royal Albert Hall

Following the success of 2018's hugely popular Space Shambles, The Cosmic Shambles Network are excited to announce their return to The Royal Albert Hall in 2020 with a brand new sea themed spectacular which is destined to be their biggest show ever.

On May 17th, 2020 The Cosmic Shambles Network and the Royal Albert Hall will take you on a celebratory voyage of discovery of our own blue planet and how we are best placed to protect it, with a spectacular new show, Sea Shambles. Anchored by co-host of the Rose D'Or winning The Infinite Monkey Cage (R4), Robin Ince, physicist and oceanographer Dr Helen Czerski, naturalist and wildlife presenter Steve Backshall and many very special guests (including famed rock band British Sea Power, award-winning comedian Josie Long and poet Lemm Sissay MBE with many more to be announced). They'll be turning the entire main auditorium of the Royal Albert Hall into a virtual underwater playground with everything you've come to expect from one of the Cosmic Shambles Network's signature variety shows, as well as special effects, puppetry and so very many lasers.

Join Robin, Helen and Steve as they set sail with an all-star cast of scientists, comedians, performers and musical guests for a one night only event you'll never forget. Part proceeds from this event will also be going to support various marine conservation charities.
