I think Robin’s plan is to repeat the event at Edinburgh and then take it on a short UK tour this year. Hopefully it will do its rounds in the Midlands too.
I think that it will be released as a DVD sometime soon too.

Never saw him before either so was a wonderful introduction. Been youtubing him, an extremely talented pianist as well. I also thought Simon Singh was excellent. Looking forward to tonight!

Absolutely. never seen him before, but my friends were sitting next to me poking me very hard at nearly every sentence. Just brilliantly captured what it is to be faced with stupidity on a daily basis, and fighting the desire to tell them they’re idiots. Very very well done!

My thoughts exactly Digitalgoldfish (and no I couldn’t resist the T-shirt)
Wasn’t Tim Minchin’s segment staggeringly good?

Thanks Robin – That was truly one of my highlights of the year. Thought some of the acts were a bit redundent to the theme, but overall I think you captured the spirit beautifully, and it was a real geeky pleasure. I’d happily attend every night. Also very happy with my ‘godless’ t-shirt!

Many thanks Robin for a splendid evening. Entertaining and humorous in equal measure.
Here’s to many more. Milton

Joe,

All three events are open to anyone who has sprouted pubic hair- and those who have a condition where they can’t sprout pubes, like that guy out of Little Britain.

Hope that allays your fears.

Hi, is this event going to be over 18s only

The person I was going with has found out she has to be at another event that night, so I now have a spare ticket for the 18th – would anyone like it? £20 and it’s yours, though you won’t be able to take delivery until I collect it on the night. Email me: tom dot richards at Google’s email service.
