Join Festival of the Spoken Nerd and friends as they return to the Royal Institution for another science and comedy variety night!

An Evening of Unnecessary Detail brings stand-up, science and songs together in a single Venn diagram. With sell-out shows across the UK and over a million podcast downloads, it’s the night where scientists and/or comedians get to talk about fascinating things in outrageous detail.

An Evening of Unnecessary Detail is, in short, an event where 80% of the words in the title start with a vowel. Of the 16 unique letters in the title, 31.25% of them are used more than once, and the show will be exactly 10,800 seconds long.

Hosted by the Festival of the Spoken Nerd, the event will be hosted by some or all of the crew: Matt Parker, Steve Moul, and Helen Arney.

Line-up of performers is subject to change without notice.
