In a hilariously refreshing show featuring comedians and scientific experts, you'll get answers to questions you never knew you had. Think QI meets Mock the Week, live at Fringe!

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.
