Science had come a long way in terms of pop culture creditability. After decades of well-meaning-yet-stuffy attempts at making this crucial discipline interesting to the general public, shows like The Big Bang Theory and The Infinite Monkey Cage hit upon a formula. Make ‘em laugh and if that fails, wheel on the explosions.
The Festival of the Spoken Nerd is a team of three comedians who are also all about the nerdy love of maths, spreadsheets, physics and puns. Their latest show, Full Frontal Nerdity, is unashamedly nerdy, as the title suggests. It’s for those of us who tend to laugh straight away at XKCD cartoons or have a collection of puns based around the word ion. The main attraction is their 100-minute long show, which is a mix of stand-up comedy, practical demonstrations and the odd song or two.
