Homepage - Brunel Museum The Brunel Museum is an educational charity run by volunteers that tells the story of one of the world’s great engineering dynasties

NOW RECRUITING FUNNY ENGINEERS.

On March 4th The Brunel Museum and I are running an engineering-themed fundraising comedy gig and I'm looking for acts.

10 minute sets, unpaid, and a chance to play an iconic (but pretty inaccessible) venue. This is them: thebrunelmuseum.com

Who would like a show?
