The Variables Present: An Evening of Science Comedy

Tickets

Nov 20 @ 7:30 pm – 11:00 pm

Join regular Portland Arms and Cambridge Comedy Fringe favourites “The Variables” for an evening of science comedy

As the Autumn nights draw in, comedy troupe The Variables return for an evening of merriment drawn from the world of Science.

Join our scientists as they become comedians for an evening, and demonstrate that even as you probe the secrets of the universe everything doesn’t always go to plan. Discover things you didn’t know and wouldn’t expect, and see the funny side as we go from hydrogen to hilarity, from medicine to mirth, and from botany to belly laughs (note – actual scientific content may vary).

Headline: Huge Davis

Combining his confident on stage presence, dark humour, surreal material and his one-of-kind customised keyboard, Huge has quickly risen to become one the most unique acts in the UK.

After reaching the finals of the Leicester Square Comedian of the Year, Amused Moose New National Comic Award, Hackney Empire New Act of the Year and the Musical Comedy Awards in 2018, Huge debuted his first show ‘The Carpark’ at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019. A complete sell-out, it received multiple five-star reviews and an Edinburgh Comedy Award Nomination for Best Newcomer. The show transferred to the Soho Theatre and was featured as Time Out’s No.1 comedy show to see.

Huge appears regularly on television, including appearances include 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Harry Hill’s Clubnite, Roast Battle, Jools Holland, Hypothetical, Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club, Live at the Comedy Store, Comedians Giving Lectures and The Stand Up Sketch Show. Huge performs both in the UK and internationally, also supporting Phil Wang and Joe Lycett on their national tours.

Huge will be joined by Danny Clives, Chris Ali and one more act TBC.
