RESIDENTS are being invited to an evening with naturalist Nick Baker and his favourite weird creatures.

Nick Baker, the presenter of Channel Five’s Weird Creatures, previous presenter of BBC One’s The Really Wild Show and CBBC’s Spring Watch will be coming to the Palace Theatre later this month.

His other Television credits include co-presenter of Pirate Ship Live with Vic Reeves and Inside Out, among others.

The show takes people on a personal journey that has taken Nick to some of the harshest and most extreme locations, from the high elevations of the Andes to bring you frogs of Lake Titicaca, to the darkest, dingiest depths of Slovenia’s caves to meet possibly the source of the original dragon.

Join Nick as he tells his favourite stories about discovering, meeting and filming some of his favourite weird creatures.

As well as some candid and revealing behind the scenes trials and tribulations, he will also explain why these animals appear weird to us and how their strange looks and habits are actually born of an evolutionary need to tackle some unique habitats and situations.

A spokesman from the theatre, said: "Come and learn more about some of the lesser inhabitants of our planet, part bizarre, part adventure and part conservation; all served up with a generous dollop of irreverence and humour."

Sometimes irreverent and funny, but always laced with a passion and a fascination for these exotic weird creatures, the show is on Friday, June 26 at 7.30pm.
