We’re back. Of course we are.
For the 2022 season we return to Kings Place for two nights of the usual cavalcade of science, comedy, music and mayhem plus a now traditional family matinee too. As ever Robin Ince will be your intrepid host for all three shows along with a raft of amazing guests. Tickets are on sale now!
Once again profits from the show will be going to our chosen charities who this year are Turn2Us: Fighting UK Poverty and Together for Short Lives.
“An endearingly shambolic, joyful lucky dip of a show”.
The Guardian




All shows are in Hall One at Kings Place, 90 York Way, London, N1 9AG.

Learn About This Year's Charities
All profits from this event will be split between our two chosen charities for 2021.
A charity that wants to help every child and family living with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition get the very best care and support they can so they can make the most of every moment together
Turn2us is a national charity providing practical help to people who are struggling financially.
Foodbank Collection
Due to unforeseen logistical complications there will not be a food bank collection at this year’s shows. However you can still donate to our friends at Bow Foodbank and Euston Foodbank by visiting their websites.

So sad there is no online event this year! Your show made our Christmas both years, but living so far from London we will never get to see it again. Perhaps you might venture further afield one day. There are lots of scientists (my hubby) and fascinated people (me) outside London. Have lots of factual fun! Xxx PS. Phaps you could hook up with Live to Your Living Room? We would pay. Xx
Unfortunately it’s impossible for a multitude of reasons to do a live-streamed version of the stage show.
