I'm an award-winning comedian* and maths communicator** - combining comedy, song and extreme pedantry to lethal effect (not literally.) You'll find me performing family and grown-up shows at festivals, comedy clubs, schools, pubs, pie shops... anywhere that wants a venn diagram intersection of maths and entertainment. I've appeared several times on Radio 4's cult numbers show 'More or Less' and had a song about the Riemann Hypothesis turned into a local radio jingle - surely a world first. I'm open to performance or presenting opportunities - just drop me an email. Promo photos and other materials can be found here.
Here are some of the full-length shows I've created…
MATHS TRICKS TO BLOW YOUR MIND (from Autumn 2021)
A frantic hour of mind-bending maths, interactive demos and wicked humour from award-winning science communicator and entertainer Kyle D Evans (Leicester Comedy Festival best show nominee 2020, Swindon Fringe best stand-up winner 2018, Famelab UK winner 2016.)
Kyle spent lockdown studying viral maths puzzles, life-hacks and tricks, and has distilled his findings into an hour of head-scratching yet engaging and inclusive maths-based entertainment. Expect jokes, songs and mind-blowing maths galore. The accompanying book will be released worldwide by Atlantic Books / Allen & Unwin on 7th October 2021. The age recommendation is 12+ as there are some borderline adult themes. Kyle has regularly performed shows for a younger audience and will happily perform an additional all-ages early show (age 7+) upon request.
MATHS MAYHEM
This action-packed inclusive family show brings together some of my favourite demos that I've performed at festivals & shows over the last couple of years, including: T-shirts of Hanoi, a Fibonacci based folk song, the paper folding world championships and an attempt to fit the world's entire rice output onto a giant chessboard (this part isn't *always* successful.) Suitable for ages 8+ ideally, 5+ at a push. This show was featured on BBC Breakfast during its full-house Edinburgh run in 2019, and was nominated for best family show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2020.
BORN TO SUM
From Bob Dylan and Beyonce’s algebraic song titles to Kate Bush’s (near) perfect recital of pi to fifty decimal places, pop stars have been dropping maths references into their tunes for decades. It just takes a certain kind of mathematical pedant to notice them all...
Enter folk mathematician Kyle D Evans and his trusty guitar, here to take you on a comedic musical tour through some unexpected parallels between maths & pop. Come prepared for a fun night for maths enthusiasts and novices alike. Suitable for teens and up (some adult humour.)
