Stand-up mathematician [Matt Parker] (https://standupmaths.com/) , experiments maestro [Steve Mould] (https://stevemould.com/) and geek songstress [Helen Arney] (https://helenarney.com/) are experts at investigating things that might not seem particularly interesting on the surface, but become fascinating when you get down to the nitty and / or gritty. Check out [festivalofthespokennerd.com/tickets] (https://festivalofthespokennerd.com/tickets/) for details of our live shows in the UK and streamed across the world. Come for the Unnecessary Detail.
