Join science comedy trio Festival of the Spoken Nerd as their sellout night of nerdy new material lands in Greenwich - the home of everyone’s favourite Prime Meridian! 

Stand-up mathematician Matt Parker, YouTube experiments maestro Steve Mould and geek songstress Helen Arney all bring stand-up comedy, science, maths and extraordinary facts together in a single Venn diagram. One, two, or (sometimes) all three of them will be sharing their latest never-before-seen-on-stage ideas, along with a smorgasbord of guest performers also trying out their newest and nerdiest material. 

If you like your comedy with side-order of unexpected information, An Evening of Unnecessary Detail is where you’ll find scientists, enthusiasts, miscellaneous experts* and/or comedians talk about whatever they want to.

Description

Up The Creek stands as a venerable institution within Greenwich, a cultural anchor that has shaped the landscape of UK comedy for decades. Since its inception, it has served as a crucial launchpad for countless comedic voices, establishing itself not merely as a venue, but as a vital hub for artistic development and community engagement in the performing arts.

Within its walls, a palpable energy hangs in the air, a blend of anticipation and the lingering warmth of past laughter. The main performance space, with its focused lighting, draws attention to the stage, creating an intimate yet expansive environment where every punchline resonates. The smaller studio offers a more concentrated atmosphere, ideal for burgeoning acts and focused creative sessions.

Beyond the performance areas, the venue boasts its own in-house brewery, offering a curated selection of craft beers and other libations, adding a distinct flavour to the evening's entertainment. Its location is highly accessible, a short walk from Cutty Sark DLR and Greenwich train station, with convenient parking options available.

The programming consistently features a dynamic mix of established headline acts and the freshest emerging talent, ensuring a diverse and engaging schedule throughout the week. Furthermore, its dedicated comedy school underscores its commitment to cultivating the next generation of performers, cementing its role as a cornerstone of the national comedy circuit.
