90-minute recording of a live science-comedy performance that blends humor, experiments, and music by trio of former scientists, Festival of the Spoken Nerd. Presented Science Riot.
"You Can't Polish a Nerd" is guaranteed to put the “oooh” into zoology, the “fun” into fundamental theorem of calculus and the “recursion” into recursion in the ultimate show for nerds and non-nerds.
Festival of the Spoken Nerd is the UK science comedy phenomenon that will feed your brain, tickle your ribs and light your Bunsen burner. Not just live performers, they also make radio shows, TV appearances, DVDs, downloads, YouTube videos, podcasts and books. Full Frontal Nerdity guaranteed!
The trio of stand-up mathematician Matt Parker (Discovery Channel Outrageous Acts Of Science, Numberphile), experiments maestro Steve Mould (ITV1 I Never Knew That About Britain, BBC1 Britain’s Brightest) and geek songstress Helen Arney (BBC2 Coast, Comedy Central Stewart Lee’s Alternative Comedy Experience) mix astonishing science with statistically significant comedy, plus experiments that electrify their audiences – sometimes literally.
