The Festival of The Spoken Nerd & Human v Nature: Engineering FTW

Event information

The Festival of The Spoken Nerd
For one week only, the sold-out phenomenon for the insatiably sci-curious comes to the Fringe. Stand-up mathematician Matt Parker, geek songstress Helen Arney and experiments guy Steve Mould host a show for the fearlessly inquisitive. Three of London's best (and nerdiest) perform a celebration of comedy, science, music, maths, interactive experiments and maybe some things that go bang. 'Riotously funny show about science ... brimming with unashamed geekery' (ThreeWeeks). 'Harnesses comedy to highlight what is fun, and funny, about science' (NewScientist.com). 'Don't miss this gem of intelligent fun' (STV Edinburgh). @FOTSN. www.festivalofthespokennerd.com.

Human v Nature: Engineering FTW
Gadgets and old school mechanics celebrating the triumph of engineering over pesky nature: darkness, disease, gravity... From the team behind hit show Your Days Are Numbered: Maths of Death ('a genuinely fun, thought-provoking hour', Chortle.co.uk). Their last show drew sell-out crowds, debunking dodgy stats, media scares and overblown health panics. Now they're back to give the same irreverent treatment to Mother Nature and the mean tricks she pulls to try and keep humans in their place: the cave. See how engineering helps humanity defy nature and beat boredom into submission. Also: robots! Supported by R. A. Eng.
