Overview

Discover the untold tales of scientific achievement in this hilarious blend of history and comedy.

We’ll be visited by the Ghosts of Science Past, Present and Future (in the form of actual human scientists) for three side-splitting stand-up comedy gigs exploring the entertaining tales about where science has been and is going.

From the obvious to the obscure, the influential to the unknown, our performers select their favourite figures and laughs will be plenty. Compèred by comedian and Wellcome Engagement Fellow Steve Cross.
