6-Minute NERDx Talks by Comedians

6-Minute NERDx Talks by Comedians

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2026

Comedians deliver micro presentations with a twist. Each PowerPoint has exactly 18 slides, and each slide advances automatically after 20 seconds. Every day, a fresh lineup gives TED-inspired geeky seminars on science, history, tapirs or whatever nerdy passion they have. Expect nudibranchs, the Titanic, haggis and Pokémon. This educational mini conference's final talk is a mystery slideshow, where comedians improvise as "experts" on slides they've never seen before. Check Instagram for each day's TikTok TED talks and speakers. 'Never before will you have learnt so much from a comedy show' (TheMagdalen.com).
