Event information

On Wednesday 20th September, join us in the Grain Barge, for a night of raucous, smutty, educational(ish) performance!

Our line-up includes:

Nathan Ellingsworth - Sharks Can\'t Roar
A comedic decimation of Hollywood\'s continued ignorance towards animals and science. What do you mean, sharks don\'t do that?

Thomas Bloom - Madness And Mathematics
Ever wondered why we live in four dimensions, not three or five? Why computers are so darned slow? How pure mathematicians manage to justify what they do? Come, listen, and marvel, as Thomas Bloom educates, confuses, and amazes with nary a blackboard in sight.

Dr Katie Cooper - Why Don\'t You Just Rock Off?
Dr Cooper once vowed never to speak about rocks. Finally, she is breaking her silence. Bravely, boldly, and inevitably (given that she\'s used up all her other material), it is time for her to tap into her geological frustrations.

Antonia Forster - LGBTQ In Nature
Bigots often claim that LGBT is \"not natural\". But is there any evidence for this claim? Antonia takes a diverse tour of the animal kingdom, asking questions such as: Does bisexuality occur in animals? Do homosexual couples raise young? Do any animals change sex, or have no sexes, or more than two? Is sex even as binary as we think?

Maddie Nichols
Prepare for a soul-wrenching insight into the world of academia. Maddie reveals the confessions of a PhD student: the highs, the lows... and everything in between!

...And many more!
