After 3.7 billion years of life on Earth, Dr David Jones has evolved – research biologist by day, comedian by night.

He’s set himself the gargantuan challenge of telling the complete story of life on planet Earth. In 60 minutes. From primordial soups to primates in suits. Can he cram the origins of life, the evolution of millions of species, the extinction of millions more, and Homo sapiens’ rise to dominance, into a 1-hour show? Possibly not. But that won’t stop Dr Jones from trying as he delivers a fascinating and gloriously geeky hour of science-fuelled stand-up. Come along and laugh in the face of extinction.

Suitable for ages 12+. Discover your own evolutionary insignificance.

David is a scientific associate at the Natural History Museum. He also moonlights as a stand-up comedian, taking his science comedy shows to lecture halls, festivals and pubs across the country.
