Matt Parker brings us a fast paced, precisely crafted hour of mathematically inspired comedy. His electrifying routine is his bestselling book Humble Pi brought to life with humour to the nth degree<\/p>\n
His laser sharp wit, (yes, there really are lasers) brings us tales of mathematical disasters and the real- life consequences they bring. He covers subjects as diverse as the potential for ghost trains in Sweden, the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Pac-Man and how MacDonald\u2019s served up junk numbers with their junk food. The thread of the ways in which big advertising campaigns use and abuse numbers and statistics is a gold mine, and elicits belly laughs all round.<\/p>\n
There is audience interaction that will delight arcade game fans, and the only time I\u2019ve seen the well- worn \u201cwhat do you do for a living\u201d stick completely re-invented, with flow charts and genuine warmth.<\/p>\n
His \u201cauto Matt\u201d and variation in Matt- seconds is one of the most original pieces of stand up I\u2019ve ever has the pleasure of witnessing, delivered with a confidence and precision that few could master.<\/p>\n
A crossover of maths and comedy is reflected in the audience where 50% identified as maths loving and 50% identified as comedy lovers and all identified as having a fabulous time<\/p>\n
Humble Pi is a winning formula for all<\/p>\n
