Comedian and bestselling author Matt Parker brings new stand-up maths tour to Leamington Spa this October
New York Times and Sunday Times best-seller Matt Parker talks a lot of maths.
Now it's time for him to get in there and give the maths a really good doing.
Following a run at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer, Matt Parker will be 'Getting Triggy With It' in venues around the UK this Autumn, including in Leamington Spa.
Parker will be performing at the Royal Spa Centre on 3 October.
Tickets go live on Friday 30 May at 10am and can be purchased here.
Matt Parker is a stand-up comedian, best-selling author and a YouTuber with over 1.3 million subscribers and over 100 million views.
Getting Triggy with It: Matt Parker Does the Maths is the live show to accompany his most recent international best-selling book and number one best seller in the UK, Love Triangle: The Life-changing Magic of Trigonometry, which is out in paperback in June 2025.
Organisers wrote: "There is no privacy for Matt when he tries his best.
"When he programmed his own Christmas tree lights, 11,365,317 people watched the code crash (and counting).
"When he put his hand-crafted Wordle-inspired calculations online, viewers stepped in to improve them by 40,832,277,770 percent.
"But he's not giving up.
"It's time he shaped-up and crawled out from under the square named after him.
Come watch Matt Parker do the maths."
As well as amusing insight into his love of triangles and hilarious adventures in crowdsourced maths, the show sees Parker take on AI and robots with his unique brand of nerdy enthusiasm.
Parker is a regular on Discovery's Outrageous Acts of Science and BBC Radio 4's More or Less and has been heard on BBC Radio 4's Infinite Monkey Cage and The Museum of Curiosity.
He has previously held world records for both the Rubik's Cube and Space Invaders and has flipped a coin 10,000 times, travelled to Antarctica, memorised π to hundreds of digits, and been stung by a bullet ant in the Amazon, all in the pursuit of maths.
His first live show, Humble Pi was among the best-reviewed comedy shows at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe.
As one third of the science-comedy phenomenon Festival of the Spoken Nerd (with Helen Arney and Steve Mould), Parker has appeared on BBC2's QI and created the BBC Radio 4 comedy show Domestic Science.
Having performed at Shakespeare's Globe, The British Library, TED, The Royal Institution, Latitude, James Randi's 'The Amaz!ng Meeting' in Las Vegas, the trio currently hosts a smash hit nerdy variety night, An Evening of Unnecessary Detail.
He has received numerous reviews, including The Guardian, which said: 'Capable of generating big laughs using the deceptively simple power of numbers' and a four-star review from The Arts Desk: 'Fast-paced entertainment that delves into the magic of maths, and it's funny as well as informative.'
