Revenge of the Nerds!

This was an experiment initially supported by NESTA, and you can visit their profile of Theatre of Science here. Our first shows were hosted by the Soho Theatre, and now we are working with the Royal Society.

The idea was make science lectures theatrical and to present them in a mainstream venue. The results have been shockingly positive, with great reviews and sell-out runs in London and Edinburgh.

Theatre of Science hosts
the Sleek Geeks in London

In 2002 we were able to host the Sleek Geeks, two brilliant Australian comic scientists.

Dr Karl and Adam Spencer will drag you by the brain through their fast-talking, roller-coaster ride of fabulous facts and sensational stories as they coerce comedy into science with sledge-hammer subtlety. Together, they'll tell you about the Science of Nose-Picking, Belly Button Lint, home accidents in the UK, and Punching Glass - as well as What Really Happens when a Man and a Woman love each other very much in a special way! You'll laugh and learn, and you won't even notice.

 

Theatre of Science at
the Edinburgh Fringe.

Richard Wiseman and I took Theatre of Science to the Edinburgh Fringe in August, 2002. It was great fun mingling with the comics and actors who were also performing at the Pleasance, and it was an excellent opportunity to take the show to a new audience. The lovely thing about a Fringe audience is that they are up for anything - even lectures about mathematics and psychology.
