We are delighted to invite this pair of geniuses back again for what will undoubtably be another sell out show !

“Ben and Chris have discovered the internet and now they can’t stop. Join them for a whimsical tour of pop culture’s lesser-known niches as they brain-dump their gratuitous "research" in a series of hilarious PowerPoint lectures, with different bizarro topics each night.”

Previous events have delved deep into detective fiction, conspiracy theories, power ballads, survivalist manuals, dystopian sci-fi, weird animals and the eating habits of politicians.

This Brighton Fringe special features new talks and a fresh format allowing for even more amusing and intriguing minutiae. Each talk concludes with a Q&A and the opportunity to put your hosts on the spot.

"Ben Bailey and Chris Parkinson make a perfect double act, combining the best elements of stand-up with weird, funny and fascinating PowerPoint lectures. Who wouldn’t want to know more about tapirs and board games called Baconopoly??" (David Bramwell, Catalyst Club)

"Chris Parkinson and Ben Bailey have both given awesome talks at the Bavard Bar, on topics as diverse as the eating habits of politicians, Tintin, board games and zines. The prospect of a double-act from them is salivating. Check this event out, you'll be in for a visual and audible treat." (Tim Crook, Bavard Bar)
