STAND-UP PHILOSOPHY is a live philosophy show a bit like stand-up comedy, only instead of just being funny, it’s also philosophical.
A mixture of academic philosophers and brilliant comedians (with a different line-up and theme for every show) try to answer the big questions of philosophy, and discuss them with a live audience.
Basically it’s like a cross between a stand-up comedy night and a public lecture, only more fun.
And there’s a bar.
Come even if you’re just curious!

Stand-up Philosophy: Rules
1. Each philosopher on the bill is given 8-12 minutes to make an argument which answers some philosophical problem
2. The philosopher then takes SHORT questions/objections from the audience
3. Excessive use of jargon and/or unnecessary name-dropping of philosophers is banned
4. Tell people why they’re wrong, but don’t be an arse about it
Do you do private events? I run a pub in Brighton and we would love to have you!
Thanks

Have you considered holding an open mic night, perhaps with a panel of judges?
No, but it’s an interesting idea…
Will booking for free ticket at your shows at the Fringe festival in Edinburgh be needed?
Hi Utah! No, you don’t need to book! But it’s worth getting there early on Saturdays/Sundays during the Fringe in case the room fills up quickly…
