Comedy for the Curious: 2026

* Shaftesbury Fringe 2023 Award Winner, Best Comedy *

Ever wonder why we are the way we are?

Marine biologist turned award-winning comedian Robyn Perkins returns to Edinburgh to explore yet another topic in her critically acclaimed, science comedy panel show.

Unzipping Your Genes: (ie. the cr*p we get from our parents)

Exploring human behaviour with stand-up comedy, Robyn teams up with behavioural geneticist and psychologists to answer questions you never knew you had! Think Mock the Week meets QI, live at the Fringe...
