6-Minute NERDx Talks by Comedians
Funny nerds deliver micro presentations with a twist. Each PowerPoint has exactly 18 slides, and each slide advances every 20 seconds. Each day, a different lineup gives TEDx-inspired geek talks on science, tech, history, tapirs or whatever nerdy passion they want to teach.
Expect nudibranchs, haggis, Pokémon. For the final presentation in this educational mini lecture conference, comedians improvise as "experts" on a mystery slideshow that they've never seen before. Check Instagram for each day's TikTok TED talks and speakers in the event which sold out 12 Edinburgh shows.
"Never before will you have learnt so much from a comedy show" (TheMagdalen.com).
