Dallas Campbell
Science isn’t a subject. It’s an adventure.
TV science presenter, speaker, writer & broadcaster.
Dallas has a lifelong passion for understanding how the world works and for exploring our relationship with science, technology and engineering – past, present and future.
A highly experienced and natural speaker, his work includes Tim Peake’s Return to Earth Live at the Royal Albert Hall, BBC Bang Goes the Theory National Tour, Royal Institution Christmas Lectures & Spacesuit Live, Doctor Who 50th Anniversary at London’s Excel Arena, Fame Lab International and Cheltenham Science Festival.
Dallas was chosen to host the sell-out event at the Barbican, London, interviewing Major Tim Peake live onstage.
Dallas is an actor and writer whose curiosity and original mind have led him into a parallel career as one of television’s freshest and funniest talents and broadcasters. His passion for popularising science and for investigating the weirder areas of life, the universe and everything, took him from a background in theatre and film work into researching, writing and presenting authored documentaries for television.
Dallas spent several years living in Los Angeles but is now based in London.
Fearless, engaging and inspiring, his speeches are about a wide range of topics including science, rockets and Space. As an extra-special addition for space-themed events, Dallas can bring a replica space suit – a copy of the one for the character of Neil Armstrong in the film One Man (subject to availability – it may be on loan to museums.)
Dallas is brilliant. Every year. We have booked him again to host Space-Comm next year too!

Vibrant, fun and accommodating, Dallas was a complete joy to work with and his presentation set the tone for a great careers event to inspire all our students. Diana’s kindliness sets her apart, and her experience and organisational ability were invaluable: we hope to be working with you again.

THANK YOU so much Diana for recommending and arranging for Dallas to speak at our Festival. Please thank him for all the extra time and care he gave to the event, staying to meet so many guests …………and bringing his spacesuit…. which was such a hit!
We wanted to show how creative and fun it is working in Science, and that so many doors are open to everyone to explore further and make a difference. Dallas embodied this by delivering such a wonderful talk. We are so happy that so many children and youngsters attended day and asked such informed and interesting questions. Thanks again
