Robin Ince confirmed

The QED Team is delighted to announce that the comedian Robin Ince, co-host of Radio 4's The Infinite Monkey Cage, will be appearing as part of QED's Saturday night line-up.

Robin is a familiar face on the live comedy circuit, and has recently been touring with Brian Cox, Ben Goldacre and former QED speaker Simon Singh as the Uncaged Monkeys. Robin is also the organiser of Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People, and has appeared on the BBC's Mock the Week, Have I Got News For You and Channel 4's 8 out of 10 Cats.

His material mixes an acerbic wit and comic fury with a genuine enthusiasm for science, and often features readings from leading science popularisers, like Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman.

Saturday Night at QED will take place after the Gala Dinner and is free to all QED ticket-holders; you do not need a separate ticket to attend. Further performers appearing on Saturday night have yet to be announced.
