About this talk

No Such Thing As A Fish began in 2014 and since then has been downloaded over half a billion times. Join Andy, Dan, Anna & James as they return to the Ri, following their previous sell-out show, for a summer season of 4 live recordings! The idea is simple: every show, each member of the team brings the most interesting thing they've discovered in the last seven days. In their 600+ episodes to date the team have covered scientific topics as varied as Neolithic dentistry, NASA's inflatable owls, why astronauts don't snore, how long it would take to cook a pizza on Venus, the scientists who were called Einstein but weren't Albert, crime-solving carbon isotopes, concerts louder than the Big Bang, the kangaroo's fifth leg, the world's slowest shark, rats in trousers, blushing turkeys, dead geckos, and the most painful place to be stung by a bee (the nostril). No Such Thing As A Fish has won multiple awards, enjoyed three spinoff books and two BBC2 TV series, and toured the world. The event running time is approximately 90 minutes. This is a theatre and livestream event for an adult audience, where the speakers and audience in the Theatre are joined by the audience online. Doors to the theatre will open at 6.45pm and the talk will begin at 7.30pm. The livestream will go live at 7.25pm and the introduction will begin at 7.30pm. If you register but miss the livestream, the video will be available to you via the same link for two weeks after the event date.
