Stand-up mathematician Matt Parker (Discovery Channel You Have Been Warned), experiments maestro Steve Mould (ITV1 I Never Knew That About Britain) and geek songstress Helen Arney (BBC2 Coast) mix astonishing science with statistically significant comedy, plus experiments that electrify their audiences – sometimes literally. Since their last smash hit tour show Full Frontal Nerdity, the Nerds have filmed their first DVD (available now) and racked up over a million views on YouTube for their experiments, songs and stand-up. As well as sell-out shows all over the UK, the Nerds have performed at Shakespeare’s Globe, Hammersmith Apollo with Robin Ince and Brian Cox, The British Library, TED, Udderbelly and Latitude Festival.

Live performance from science comedy trio Festival of the Spoken Nerd.

Fresh from their latest UK tour, Matt Parker, Steve Mould and Helen Arney have created yet another comedy spectacular for digital download. Packed full of science, songs and spherical geometry, the intrepid trio go further than ever to celebrate nerdiness in all its raw and unpolished glory. You Can’t Polish A Nerd is the third show from science comedy phenomenon Festival of the Spoken Nerd. It’s here to put the “ooh” into zoology, the “fun” into fundamental theorem of calculus and the “recursion” into recursion, creating the ultimate in audio-visual entertainment for nerds and non-nerds.

I Never Knew That About Britain, anchored by Paul Martin, explores Britain’s rich and surprising history, unearthing eccentric characters and stories from Britain’s past and celebrating some of the greatest technological, artistic, scientific and political achievements of the British people. Based on the bestselling book series by Christopher Winn, Paul will be joined by science presenter, Steve Mould, and British historian and broadcaster, Suzannah Lipscomb. From traffic lights to the humble toilet, from the flying bike to the skyscraper, the trio of presenters travel the length of Great Britain to reveal the unusual stories and meet the people connected with them. Across eight episodes, I Never Knew That About Britain is an entertaining cornucopia of all the things you never knew about Britain.
