This Valentine's day, Newcastle Skeptics are proud to present a talk we wish we wouldn't need to host..."The Woo of Wee" with Heidi Mounsey.
Learn of the benefits of drinking your own urine! Marvel at how it treats conjunctivitis if you pour it in your eyes! Discover if you really should be peeing on your jellyfish sting! This talk considers whether there is any scientific evidence for the benefits of urine therapy (spoiler: there isn’t), what might lead people to believe in it, and contains horrible pictures of the results caused by indulging in this practice.
Heidi owns many cats, all of which prefer to use the high class facilities of the indoor litter trays rather than the slum of the garden flower beds, and therefore she thinks about the best way to dispose of urine quite a lot. None of these ways has yet involved drinking it, strangely enough. She likes science fiction conventions, singing, and is currently trying to learn more than four chords on the ukulele.
About the venue
Please note Toon skeptics have a new home and event time! We are thrilled to have our first talk of 2026 at the Tyne Theatre & Opera House's 1867 cafe bar. We have moved the regular talk time to Saturday afternoon at 3pm, which is the perfect time to grab some drinks, snacks and knowledge before hitting the town for dinner, or getting back home well before the night's old. Tickets are still Pay As Your Feel! Doors open half an hour before the talk at 2.30pm.
