Love science? Love comedy? Want to laugh and feel smart? Come to Stand-up Science, a collective of fantastic scientific comedians from across the Fringe. Returning for a fifth year following successful runs in 2022-2025, 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 celebrated 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 biochemistry to physics, chemistry to medicine, and archaeology to artificial intelligence, lots will be covered in this month's syllabus.

Matt Hobs returns as host. Matt Hobs has performed four well received Edinburgh solo shows including 2025's sell-out show 100% Badgers. "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.
