TOD Talks

Terrible Ideas, Improvised.

Each night some of the finest comedians of the Festival try to convince us that they are experts... the twist is, they will have no idea what their expert subject is until they walk out on stage! Supported by presentation slides they have never seen before.

It is a masterclass in s**t-talking. A battleground of pop-culture references, quick wit, cringeworthy puns, and improvised absurdity.

TOD Talks will have you clutching your sides in stitches, hanging off every word, and grateful you’re not the one going onstage.

"The backyard cricket of TED Talks"

Anything can happen in TOD Talks, but rarely are they good ideas.

"Priceless! Cringe-worthy to belly laughing brilliance in just moments... a psychedelic version of TED Talks gone awry" ★★★★★ Fringefeed, 2020
