Battle of the Brains (April 24th)

Charity Partner: The Pain Relief Foundation (Liverpool)

We’ve challenged a new set of performers (🧠 scientists and comedians) to throw off their lab coats and stand-up for their Hot Takes🔥. Expect bold arguments that will take down the scientific establishment, one joke at a time [citation needed].
