For one night only at London’s Cambridge Theatre, see the science comedy phenomenon hosted by the Festival of the Spoken Nerd trio. Featuring stand-up mathematician Matt Parker, experiments maestro Steve Mould and geek songstress Helen Arney with special guests (to be announced).
An Evening of Unnecessary Detail brings stand-up, science and songs together in a single Venn diagram. With sell-out shows across the UK and over a million podcast downloads, it’s the night where scientists and/or comedians get to talk about fascinating things in outrageous, yet sometimes in unnecessary detail.
An evening where 80% of the words in the title start with a vowel. Of the 16 unique letters in the title, 31.25% of them are used more than once. If you are enjoying this level of detail, it’s likely that you will enjoy the show.*
