This year, Dr Ken embraces this years theme of 'Time' touring his environmental themed show "How to Save the Planet in 45 mins". In this engaging performance, Dr. Ken delves into the critical concept of Net Zero, highlighting its utmost importance before time slips away and irreversible consequences of Climate Change take hold.

How to Save the Planet in 45 mins - Discover the pollution of modern living and innovations for creating a sustainable planet. Will Dr Ken avoid being blown up by a rotting banana? Will he be distracted by fantastic plastic? Can he find planet friendly ways to make electricity? He may well be talking (about) rubbish, but it will make sense!!!
