    COMEDY FOR THE CURIOUS: The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories

    Ever wonder why we are the way we are? Marine biologist turned award-winning comedian Robyn Perkins brings together comedy and science in her critically acclaimed panel show. The topic to be explored at Banbury is: The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories. Why do people believe them? Why are they so intriguing? Are they really that bad? We'll answer questions you never knew you had! On November 8th, Perkins is joined by Anna George, MSc, DPhil Candidate, who is a researcher at the University of Oxford looking into conspiracy theories, misinformation, and why your uncle won’t stop posting about it on Facebook.
    Think QI meets Mock the Week, live at the Banbury Comedy Festival! 
    Comedy Award Winner at The Shaftesbury Fringe in 2023.
    "The pinnacle of Science and Comedy fusion in a captivating performance!”  ★★★★1/2 FringeFeed, 2024
      Banbury will host its very first Stand-Up Comedy Festival, starting November 8th! An entire day filled with Stand Up Comedy shows, kids shows & even a Spanish-speaking show! Taking place in four distinctive performance venues in the town—The Apothecary Tap, Lock 29, The Mill Arts Centre & The Village Butty (a canal boat!)—the festival will feature a curated lineup of comedians, including rising talents & brilliant comics from the UK comedy circuit.
