Ready for a night of brain-bending fun that’s sharper than a double-edged sword of wit? Come join us at the Philosophy Slam, where deep thoughts meet deep laughs, hosted by none other than philosophers Mark Vernon and Robert Rowland Smith. Imagine a world where existential dilemmas and moral quandaries are unpacked with the same fervour as a stand-up comedy routine – that’s what we’re serving up.
You’ll laugh, you’ll think, and you’ll definitely question the meaning of everything. So grab a drink, bring your best ‘What’s the meaning of life?’ jokes, and prepare for an evening where Socrates meets sarcasm. It’s philosophy, but with a twist – because let’s face it, if you can’t laugh at the absurdity of existence, what can you laugh at?
Disclaimer: The Philosophy Slam is not responsible for any existential crises, mind-altering revelations, or paradigm shifts that may occur as a result of attending this event. Please consult a philosopher if symptoms persist.
