Freya is using science to try and make her life more successful. Although she only got a 2:2 from the University of Brighton, so perhaps she shouldn’t back herself on that ability. With over 50K Instagram followers online and hundreds of millions of views, her science jokes are quickly becoming a cult favourite. 'Funny, inventive and naive enough to think a quote from me will shift tickets' (Rhys James).

About the show

Freya McGhee is using science to try and make her life more successful — though she'll be the first to admit that her university results perhaps shouldn't inspire total confidence. Her science-themed stand-up has gathered a devoted following online, with jokes that manage to be funny, inventive, and genuinely nerdy all at once. This free Fringe show is a chance to see a comic with a distinctive voice and a cult following doing what she does best.

Why see this show?

Funny, inventive, and refreshingly self-aware, Freya McGhee brings science jokes and sharp stand-up to the Free Fringe. If you enjoy comedy that's a little bit nerdy and a lot charming, this is a great free show to add to your Fringe diary. Audience participation included.
