The Science of Laughter

Venue: Castle Marquee
Whether you can explain quantum mechanics with ease or you just scraped a pass in your science GCSEs, this live recording of the BBC Radio 4’s Inside Science will prove an entertaining and informative start to your day.
Why do we laugh more when we’re with others? Are humans the only animals that laugh? Does ‘laughter yoga’ actually do anything? BBC Inside Science presenter Marnie Chesterton is delving into the neurobiology, evolutionary history, and health effects of a good old chuckle.

She is joined by laughter expert and neuroscientist, Professor Sophie Scott, and an expert in making people laugh, comedian Miles Jupp, in this side-splitting, interactive panel show. Science knowledge: Optional. Fun: Guaranteed.
