Good show, fun and educational. The one I saw was on the topic of confidence and had two guest comedians and a guest clinician (all with their own shows to promote, of course) but I think Robyn said she has three shows in rotation on different topics.

A genuinely brilliant night out where you laugh and learn, the guest comedian and expert were fun. You can't but love science a little bit more because of this show.
