Science Comedy: Water

Join an award-winning improv comedy group as they bring the giggles to the Science Cabaret stage with shows inspired by science from Imperial College London.

The Wunderkammer is the most funny and thought-provoking improvised comedy show you’ll ever see.

Acclaimed improv group Do Not Adjust Your Stage welcome Martha Day, a PhD student in Imperial College London's Hydrology and Water Resources research group.

Her research uses participatory and field-based approaches to explore how climate change is impacting water security in tropical montane regions. As a Londoner, Martha is also interested in the disconnect between Londoners and water in the urban environment, which is what she will explore in her talk.

This talk will then inspire a whirlwind of entirely unscripted comedy scenes, creative live on the spot. No script, no safety net, just fascinating ideas and comedy. Smart, surprising and seriously funny, this is science comedy like you’ve never seen it before.

This event is part of Science Cabaret at the Great Exhibition Road Festival on 6-7 June 2026.

The event takes place in a zone for people aged 18+ only. People younger than 18 will not be allowed entry into the building.

Please arrive at the venue 10 minutes before the start time. Your ticket gives you priority access, however, as this is a free event if you do not arrive 10 minutes before the start time your space may be reallocated. Early arrival reduces this risk.
