Book NowAbout the show
The Provocateurs, hosted by comedian Jojo Sutherland and presented with The Stand Comedy Club, brings together two researchers from The University of Edinburgh for an evening of surprising spoken word. Dr Rana Fetit explores what it means to build human brains in a laboratory — and asks whether they might be alive. Dr Daphne Loads delves into the histories of words and the disturbing truths about the things we say, asking: is your mouth haunted? The event runs for 60 minutes at Stand 4 as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Two academic researchers tackle questions that are both genuinely unsettling and unexpectedly funny — brain-building and haunted mouths, hosted by Jojo Sutherland. The kind of Fringe evening that leaves you thinking.
