Kylea Little, Keeper of History at Discovery Museum said:“At Steam to Grin we want our adult visitors to kick back, have fun and maybe become inspired along the way – and most importantly – laugh! The Great Hall is a fabulous space to hold an event like this. Our first Discovery Nights event was popular so we’re hoping our first ever comedy night hits the spot.”

Si Beckwith, event producer and compere added: “We’re all so excited for this show, and it promises to be such a uniquely fun night out.

“The Discovery Museum holds a special place in my heart, and is home to some wonderfully accessible history and innovation. We’ll all be bringing something bespoke to the night, to make this a one-off show that you do not want to miss.”

The event is for ober 18s only, with tickets available for £12 now from the venue’s website.
