British mathematician, stand-up comedian, author, and premier YouTube creator Matt Parker clearly has numbers buzzing in his head 24/7. Problems keep him up at night, and he’s here to share the chaos—and the solutions—with us.

Matt isn’t just a maths nerd; he’s a full-on numbers nymphomaniac. Getting Triggy With It isn’t just for Freaks and Geeks—it’s an all-inclusive buffet, less A Beautiful Mind, more Avengers Assemble.

Matt strolls onstage like he’s just popped out for a quick coffee—no fanfare, no gimmicks. But once he starts talking numbers, you know you’re in expert hands. His charm? Effortless. Timing? Razor sharp. Passion for math? Infectious enough to make even the staunchest math-haters crack a grin. He has an uncanny knack for turning baffling concepts into clever analogies and hilarious stories that actually stick. No spoilers here, but his geek-out with Alex James from Blur is a highlight.

No show is perfect—especially one run with such precision—until the batteries on Matt’s clicker die mid-set. Classic rookie move, right? But instead of derailing the flow, he flips it into pure comedy gold, owning the moment like it was scripted.

What’s brilliant about Getting Triggy With It is that you, the audience, are core to the show—it feels less like a classroom and more like hanging out with your nerdiest mate. Matt isn’t your typical “math lecturer” type—there’s no smugness, no “look how clever I am” vibe. Just genuine warmth and connection, whether he’s joking about his theories or poking fun at everyday math fails we all know too well.

At its core, this show does what so many forget—it makes learning fun. You’ll walk out feeling smarter, smiling, and maybe even humming sine waves under your breath. If math class was this funny and fast-paced back in the day, who knows—maybe you’d have paid more attention.
