Show description

Bill’s latest scientific research on the Earth, the universe, everything in-between – A Short History of Nearly Everything 2.0 - plus Bill’s hilarious travel, forays into the Body and Bill being Bill.

Join Bill Bryson as he shares the major advances of science uncovered in his complete rewrite of the biggest-selling popular science book of the 21st century explaining the Earth, the universe, everything in-between, A Short History of Nearly Everything 2.0.

Planetology, astronomy, particle physics, the Big Bang, quantum mechanics, evolution and the show is just getting started. A Short History of Nearly Everything 2.0 is the result of Bill’s quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilisation – how we got from being nothing at all to what we are today. Bill will share the stories of the lives and times of the scientists behind the research and discoveries, highlighting their sometimes eccentric behaviours.

In this theatrical light hearted and fun live performance, Bill makes complex subjects fascinating and accessible to everyone with an interest in the world around them.

An evening with Bill would not be complete without delving into his travel experiences and the human body itself.
