House to Astonish – Live!

Posted on Monday, March 24, 2014 by Al in Podcast

We’ve been teasing a big announcement for a while on Twitter, and it’s time to unveil what we’ve been up to.

We’re incredibly pleased and proud to announce our first live show, on 31 May, in aid of Alzheimer’s Scotland.

Join me and Paul at City2, downstairs at the City Cafe, Edinburgh, for the recording of a very special episode We’ll be discussing the great and the good (and the not so good) of the world of comic books and answer the burning questions of the day. There will be a live Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and possibly even special guests from the world of comics…

PLUS: How much do you REALLY know about comics? Do you know your Beetle and Booster from your Maggie and Hopey? Can you tell a New Warrior from a New Teen Titan? And how many Robins have there been anyway? Test your knowledge out with the House to Astonish Comics Quiz, and be in with a chance to win some sweet comics and graphic novels.

Tickets are £12, which includes admission to the live House to Astonish podcast, entry to the Comics Quiz and a buffet, and all profits from the sale of tickets will be donated to Alzheimer’s Scotland. Tickets are available to purchase here.

We really hope you’ll be able to join us, and whether you are or not, please spread the word!

    Hmm. Can I think of some work related reason to go up to Scotland that weekend? Probably not, since all our other sites are in Germany, but I could claim that I got lost…

  2. This’ll be great, lads! Wish I could make it. 🙁

    I hope this is a big success. I’m sorry that I wouldn’t be able to make it.

    Perhaps you might set up a JustGiving page or similar for those of us who can’t go but want to support the event by making a donation to Alzeheimer’s Scotland?

    Aww, and I had recently purchased plane tickets to London for the 1st of June, the day after. Oh well, Edinburgh would be a bit too much of a detour anyway.

    Any way you can reunite the panel from your anniversary show last year, with your respective wives and Amal El-Mohtar? They were an interesting addition!

    I really wished I could come to watch you, but it’s the wrong day to fly over the channel for me.

    I hope the show will be a huge success so that you have to do it again some time.
