The science of comedy

Wednesday 26 June 18.45 - 22.00

This month's Lates explores all things funny with a laughter-packed programme of talks, workshops and comedy brilliance.

Challenge improv comedians to turn your suggestions into hilarious sketches, games and songs, all made up on the spot. Share your funniest science-related gag on our Joke Wall, hear some amusing stories from the world of scientific research and discover weird items from our collection with comedy object bingo.

Humour expert Dr Arthur Burk will be testing out the world's funniest jokes and comedy favourites Punk Science invite you to have a giggle as part of their interactive laughter experiment.

BBC Radio 4's award-winning science/comedy show The Infinite Monkey Cage featuring Brian Cox and Robin Ince will also be here for a special recording of this hugely popular series. Pre-booked tickets are now sold out, but we have a limited number of tickets available for Lates visitors on the night.
