The Provocateurs

Take Scotland’s top academics, contentious research, add a comedian and it’s the force of nature that is the Provocateurs. A staple of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe since 2013, The Provocateurs (previously known as the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas) drags academics out of their ivory towers to debate today’s burning issues and cutting edge research with audiences at the Stand Comedy Club.
