[Klug-general] Fwd: Festival of the Spoken Nerd: JUST FOR GRAPHS ON TOUR

Wed May 13 11:11:22 UTC 2015

Having seen a preview of this show (and pretty much all of their previous
shows - I'm a bit of a fan), I can vouch that it is definitely hilarious
and a great laugh. Massively recommend! One of the few comedy gigs I've
been to where the interval was spent looking up developer APIs, and the
heckles came with citations.
