Kjartan Poskitt

Kjartan is a freelance everything. Since getting his engineering degree he worked on Saturday morning tv (including BBC's Swap Shop!), presented science and maths programmes, warmed up thousands of studio audiences, toured his one man show, played a lot of pub pianos very loudly and has been Widow Twankey. In recent months he has been touring the country demonstrating mathematical tricks and oddities from his books.

He has written many shows and pantomimes, twice winning the London Fringe Award for Best Production. He has five shows published including his world-wide success HENRY THE TUDOR DUDE and his latest - NELL'S BELLES.

His other books have been translated in up to 20 languages and include the "Murderous Maths" series, "The Gobsmacking Galaxy", "Isaac Newton and his Apple", the "Warp Maze" with cartoonist Stephen Appleby, 4 books in his notorious "Killer Puzzles" series, handbooks on Practical Jokes and Secret Codes, 6 support books for the BBC Schools series "Megamaths" and a GCSE maths guide.

He has also written songs and scripts and worked as a games consultant for a wide range of children's t.v. shows and his music for t.v. includes the original theme for the BBC's "BRUM" and the long running "SMART" series.

He has written for "Rosie and Jim" comic, "The Beano" and the "The Oldie" and is a regular contributor to "Mad Maths" magazine.

Currently he is planning more Murderous Maths books and is trying to get Dennis The Menace from the BEANO on stage...

...and frankly this petty list of his dismal achievements goes on forever so that'll have to do. He's married to Bridget, they have four girls and his mentionable hobbies include astronomy, pinball tables, magic tricks, church bell ringing and collecting copies of "The Beano".
