Festival of the Spoken Nerd

About the Event

Feed your brain, tickle your ribs and light your Bunsen burner. Stand-up mathematician Matt Parker, experiments maestro Steve Mould and geeky songstress Helen Arney mix astonishing science with statistically significant comedy.

Fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe, the sell-out comedy phenomenon is back on tour with a brand new show for the insatiably sci-curious. With over a million views on YouTube for their experiments, songs and stand-up, this is your chance to see three of the UK's best (and nerdiest) performers in a night of comedy and curiosity. Full Frontal Nerdity guaranteed!
