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 14th, 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.
Banbury will host its very first Stand-Up Comedy Festival, starting November 14th! An entire day filled with Stand Up Comedy shows, kids shows & even a Spanish-speaking show!
Taking place in five distinctive performance venues in the town—The Apothecary Tap, Lock 29, The Mill Arts Centre, Freemasons Hall & 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. If you’re a dedicated comedy aficionado or just looking for a fun day out, this one-day event offers something to everyone.
We’re proud to support our independent arts community by making live shows accessible to everyone and bringing people together to discover new talent and great performances.
All shows are free to attend, with seats available to reserve in advance on a Pay What You Want basis. Spaces are limited, and once a show reaches capacity, we can’t admit any more guests — so we encourage you to book ahead where possible.
Enjoyed the show? Donations are warmly welcomed and help us continue supporting artists and keeping live performance accessible to all.
