An Evening Of Unnecessary Detail was a live comedy show at Up The Creek in London on Monday, 26 Jan 2026.

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.
