What we’re about
Welcome to Nerd Nite London, where it’s hip to be square. We host a monthly event at the Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green, where we invite nerds to come speak about interesting stuff, while we drink beer and learn things. It’s like Ted, but in a bar.

See all- Nerd Nite 15 Oct Halloween Special: aliens, fairies and demon mongeese!St Matthias Halls, London£11.50
Nerd Nite London is an event where three speakers give 18-21-minute fun yet informative talks across all disciplines, while the audience drinks along. This month, we're investigating the world of the weird, paranormal and wonderful for Halloween season.
- Chris French, psychology professor and author of The Science of Weird Shit, explores the psychology of alien abductions.
- Naomi Ryan, criminal barrister, writer and lover of all things macabre, relates the 1930s court case that had to decide if a belief in demon mongooses meant you were mad.
- Deborah Hyde, author, presenter and supernatural superfan, wonders whether medieval East Anglia was visited by fairies? Who were the two weird green children found in a field in Suffolk?
Be there and be square.
