A great showcase of different scientifically oriented comedians, which has become a Fringe classic for me. Always different, and never disappoints.

An excellent compilation show with a great variety of high quality comics at each show. The host Matt hobs builds an integral atmosphere in the crowd with his witty science jokes which is followed up by the excellent jokes performed by the other comics. A great show to see this fringe!

Our first free show of the Fringe this year and it didn't disappoint. Matt Hobs was fantastic, we would have gladly watched him for the full duration. There were 3-4 other guest performers, some better than others but overall a good show. I liked that the show was split with different performers, I didn't feel long. Some of the content was too Sciency for me but if you are a fan of science I'd say it's worth a watch.

Enjoyed this last year with Matt Hobs as the self-deprecating needy host, but it's a show dependent on the quality of the "guests" and this year when we went it was a mixed bag, with, sadly one contributor who quickly decided that the audience didn't like her and made jo attempt to turn that around, with an unpleasant passive-aggressive performance. But that's the joy of the free fringe...

We first went to this show last year, and were delighted to be able to return again this year. Matt Hobs is an excellent host, genuinely funny in his own right, backed up by a different set of comedians every day, each as nerdy as the last! For fans of good data modelling, spreadsheets, echolocation, and general nerdiness.
