Punk Science: Know it all

Using comedy, music and live experiments, the Punk Science team answer life’s big questions, like how will the universe end and which is the best martial art? They’ll be taking a look at black holes and letting Schrödinger’s cat out the box.

Do you hate yourself for being stupid? Do you like celebs more than science? Do you wish you could get cleverer without having to read boring books? Do you want answers? Do you want them now? Do you feel like you've just been asked too many questions?

From the team that brought you all Einstein's theories in an hour, prepare yourself as Punk Science attempt to turn you into a know it all. The Punks use comedy, music and live experiments to answer the big questions that the public's asking, in the show that's right about science but wrong in so many other ways.

What does the average person on the street want to know? We'll be tackling the big questions. How will the universe end? What is a black hole? Which martial art is the best? And when will men be able to have babies?

Punk Science aims to take the scariness out science, so people get a pub understanding of stuff like theoretical physics. It's made so easy that even people from reality TV will understand it.

Your journey to enlightenment is driven by live demonstrations, video clips and the odd audience vote.

The Punk Scientists

Jon Milton – A wonderful young man who's written and performed on everything from Radio 1 to BBC7, Scien-Trific on Discovery Kids and even the mighty Richard and Judy.

Bradford Gross – To make, take a pinch of Dean Martin, a pint of Iron Maiden, a quart of yogurt and a slice of apple pie. Blend on HIGH for 40 minutes. Add gin, ice and garnish. Serve open, like a head wound.

Dan Hope – Dan is a newcomer to Punk Science; he feels vulnerable and overexposed, like a reader's wife. Like love, he is a many-splendoured thing. Watch and learn (you scum).
