In recent times we've had Dara O Briain doing maths on the telly, comics such as Robin Ince and Helen Keen educating us about science on the radio, and the likes of Toby Hadoke speaking about their nerdy passions at the Edinburgh Festival.
Continuing that grand tradition, February 10th sees the launch of The Geekatorium, a London-based comedy night promising a mixture of stand-up, sketches, live music and improvisation, with acts invited to come along and perform material on the subjects they're most passionate about, be that Star Wars or Sartre – no subject is off limits. “I wanted The Geekatorium to be...
