Matt Parker talks a lot of maths. He's a NYT best-selling author and sold-out Edinburgh Festival Fringer. But now it's time he does the maths. Really gets in there and gives the maths a good doing.
It's time he programmes his own Christmas tree lights and then 11,184,024 people watch his downfall (and counting). It's time he shares his hand-crafted maths code online only for viewers to improve it by 40,832,277,770%. It's time he shaped-up and crawled out from under the square named after him.

mitch benn: the lehrer effect
Saturday 26th July, 8pm
Mitch Benn (“The country’s leading musical satirist” The Times) pays tribute to American comic songwriting genius Tom Lehrer and looks at the debt he - and all those who combine humour and melody - owe him.
When, years ago, a teenage Mitch discovered Tom Lehrer, the course of his life was changed forever.Mitch looks at the legacy of the elusive Lehrer, the creative debt he, and all those who mix humour and melody, owe to him and performs some of the more Lehreresque of his own songs. Since Mr. Lehrer (at time of writing, still slogging obstinately along at the age of 97) recently placed his entire catalogue in public domain, expect a few Mitch Benn-ified covers of some of Tom’s most famous creations as well.
“Big thanks to all who organised and ran Bedfringe. I look forward to it every year, and this year was excellent….Long may it continue to run here – and grow in reputation. It certainly deserves to.”
