Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas

Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas poster

Take top academics, contentious research, add a comedian and it's the force of nature that is the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas (CoDI). Now in its 11th year, CoDI drags academics out of their ivory towers to debate today's burning issues and cutting edge research with audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and monthly at the Strand Comedy Club.

Check out our 2022 performers below. Each of our performers are doing multiple shows during August; you can check out the full listings on the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas website.
