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 talks on science, history, tapirs or whatever else their nerdy passion may be. Expect neurotransmitters, war heroes and Pokémon. The final talk is a mystery slideshow, where comedians improvise as "experts" (heavy quotation marks) on slides that they have never seen before. Follow on Instagram for updates on each day's topics and speakers. ‘Never before will you have learnt so much from a comedy show’ (TheMagdalen.com).
