THIS EVENT REQUIRES ADDITIONAL BOOKING

Join us in our underground laboratory / comedy venue for an hour of science-themed stand-up, stories, and silliness from some of the University of Southampton's funniest and nerdiest people.

At the University of Southampton, we have been looking for ways to engage with the public on a new level and that means graduating from Dr, BSc and PhD to Haha, LoL and RoFL.

We've taken some teachers pets and taught them to embrace their inner class clown, bringing the latest research to new audiences by creating science-inspired stand-up with training from experienced comedians!

Every super villain has an origin story, but what about the rest of us scientists who couldn't get the funding for an underground lab? We get to make an impact and explode the status quo - but in a good way. That is if we can get our lab coats on the right way round.

Hosted by Professor, AI researcher and professional funny guy Leslie Carr!
