Brilliant, loved it, can't wait for more. Extremely well thought through and really funny. Good rhythm, great for quirky queer science lovers like myself hehe. Just maybe a bit loud, I think next time the microphones could be adjusted a bit better to suit the size of the venue.

Nerd Mentality was a welcoming comedy show which invited all audience members to share their favourite subject with the risk of being kindly picked on as a fellow nerd. Erudite, funny, and with brilliant switches from smartly amusing power point talks to word & maths play to songs.

Joe and Merry ooze a funny, adorable kind of chemistry that is brilliantly entertaining. I laughed heartily and, when I wasn’t laughing I was just grinning with a kind of euphoric awe at what was unraveling. Some really beautiful tangents and plot-twists in this meticulously funny show. Easily one of my Fringe top 3. I’m already hoping there’s a sequel next year!!

We stumbled on Merry and Joe at the Keller venue and were so pleasantly surprised! It was a jumble of fun that included audience nerds, hilarious songs accompanied by the ukelele and an overall warmth. Highly recommend!!

I really enjoyed this show. Intelligent but silly fun. And nerdy in an accessible way, not trying to be too clever. Warm and funny hosts who are great at audience participation.

Very hilarious and engaging show from Merry and Joe! There’s graphs and jokes and music, what more could you want?! I left feeling super nerdy and energised! Loved it.
