Southampton Science and Engineering Festival and Southampton Science Comedy bring you another dose of Rejected TED Talks!
About this Event

Come and celebrate all things science with us in a delightful evening of science-themed stand-up comedy, stories, and silliness taking over the Science and Engineering Festival!

Live, laugh, learn - welcome to the Ted Talks that would hit the cutting room floor. At Southampton University, we have been looking for ways to engage with the public on a new level. We have graduated some of our top minds fromDr, BSc and PhD to Haha, LoL and RoFL. We’ve taken these ex teachers pets and released their inner class clown, bringing their subjects to new audiences by creating research-inspired stand up with guidance from experienced comedians!

Join for 90 minutes of science-themed stand-up, stories, and silliness from some of Southampton University’s funniest and nerdiest people. Hosted by Professor of Web Science and funny guy Leslie Carr!

Doors open at 7:45pm and the show will start at 8pm.
