Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas - Fringe 2023 Stop Being Disciplined!

Take one top academic, some dangerous ideas, add one comedian and it’s the force of nature that is the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas (CODI).

Hosted by comedian Susan Morrison, and now in its eleventh year, CODI is sixty minutes of rapid-fire research from some of the finest minds in the country.

How can we respond to an increasingly complex and challenging world? Can we stop playing by the rules? We need playful, messy, and unpredictable spaces where new approaches can be developed. Dr David Overend (The University of Edinburgh) explores a series of wild and weird experiments with artists, scientists and geographers; then asks some difficult questions about how we should work together, share ideas and respond to the big challenges facing our world today. Can we all become a bit less disciplined?
