Economists vs Comedians: Who Are The Real Jokers?

To wrap up Friday with some laughter and lively debate, join us for Economists vs Comedians — where sharp economic minds meet sharp Scottish wit. We’ll have comedians taking aim at money, markets, and politics, and then give our panel of economists two minutes to respond — to explain, agree, or argue back.
Expect quickfire exchanges, surprising insights, and plenty of laughs as jokes turn into jumping-off points for bigger conversations about how the economy really works. It’s 'entertaining economics' — and the perfect way to end the day.
Dr Phil Armstrong and Professor John T Harvey.
