About the show
Join science comedy trio Festival of the Spoken Nerd as their sellout night of nerdy new material lands in Greenwich - the home of everyone’s favourite Prime Meridian!
Stand-up mathematician Matt Parker, YouTube experiments maestro Steve Mould and geek songstress Helen Arney all bring stand-up comedy, science, maths and extraordinary facts together in a single Venn diagram. One, two, or (sometimes) all three of them will be sharing their latest never-before-seen-on-stage ideas, along with a smorgasbord of guest performers also trying out their newest and nerdiest material.
If you like your comedy with side-order of unexpected information, An Evening of Unnecessary Detail is where you’ll find scientists, enthusiasts, miscellaneous experts* and/or comedians talk about whatever they want to.
PLEASE NOTE: By attending this event, you revoke the right to complain that there is too much detail.
All shows suitable for ages 18+ only.
Featuring
Festival Of The Spoken Nerd
Festival Of The Spoken Nerd is the brain child of stand-up mathematician Matt Parker, geek songstress Helen Arney and experiments guy Steve Mould. These wonderfully nerdy performers present a celebration of science, comedy and unashamed geekiness, with live experiments, audience participation, and occasional specially selected guest scientists and comedy headliners.
There's always time for questions at the end, and extra marks are given for showing your workings. Be warned, sometimes things do go BANG!
