02 / WHAT’S THE SHOW?

Smart people. Stupid questions. Very confident wrong answers.

Every month at The Stand Newcastle, comedian Neil Harris brings together a panel of comedians and a special guest expert for a live comedy game show exploring a different subject each time.

From archaeology and history to the stranger corners of science, expect ridiculous challenges, astonishing facts, gloriously wrong guesses and plenty of opportunities to play along.

It's a night where knowing the answer is considerably less important than coming up with a funny one.

You don't need to know anything about the subject to enjoy it. Curiosity is enough.

Play along as much as you like.
No audience roasting. Enjoy it from your seat without being made the centre of attention.
