Love science? Love comedy? Want to laugh and feel smart? Come to Stand-up Science, a compilation of the best scientific comedians the Fringe has to offer. Returning for a fourth year following successful runs in 2022-2024, this show is guaranteed to make you laugh and learn. Following on from successful sell-out shows about nature, bacteria, evolution and insects at the Oxford Natural History museum, Oxford's finest academic comedians bring Stand-up Science back to the Edinburgh Fringe. "Genuinely laugh-out-loud funny, genuinely interesting, genuinely original." (Daily Info, Oxford). Each show will have a line-up of excellent science-themed comedy from across the Fringe. From biochemistry to physics, chemistry to medicine, and archaeology to artificial intelligence, everything will be covered in this month's syllabus. Hosted by Matt Hobs, with Alex Farrow and an array of guests. Produced by Jericho Comedy, recommended in the Times, Telegraph and The i Paper, and winner of two national comedy awards.

Matt Hobs returns as host. Matt Hobs has performed three well received Edinburgh solo shows: "Matt Hobs: Moontalker" (2023), ''Matt Hobs: Follow the Science'' (2022), and ''Matt Hobs BSc (Bristolian of Science)'' (2019) "Hobs' explanations are equal to that of the best lecturers, and undoubtedly funnier... a very likeable leading comic with a talent for multimedia comedy.", The Wee Review.

Alex mixes science and philosophy in his stand-up. His solo shows are very popular and have sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2019, 2021 and 2022. His writing has appeared on Mock the Week, Have I Got News for You as well as in the Times as part of the best jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe. “An intelligent new Star with a skill for strong joke writing”, British Comedy Guide. “Perfect”, The Scotsman.
