All Sun Jester's talks and entertainments aim to enlighten, divert and amuse audiences of all sizes and ages.
Some of the most successful spies of WW2 were the unlikeliest of candidates. Not all were glamorous playboys in the vein of James Bond, in fact they included a professional safe breaker, a chicken farmer and a bank clerk. Here are the amazing stories of a few of the brave (and sometimes bizarre) individuals who helped bring about the Allied victory.

“Sun Jester provides educational tours on a range of subjects including prehistory, poison, and princesses. Even to provide talks on one subject to such a significantly high standard would be incredible, but it seems Sun Jester can do talks on anything! Graham’s talk was brilliantly prepared, well-supplemented with images, and he seems to have a real passion for the subject which made the talk even more exciting.”
