This Changes Everything – An Evening of Factual Intercourse

Dan Schreiber, known to many as the co-host of the hugely popular QI podcast No Such Thing As A Fish, is bringing his live show, This Changes Everything – An Evening of Factual Intercourse, to Brighton next month. If you enjoy his work on the podcast, or perhaps his other shows like We Can Be Weirdos or The Cryptid Factor, you'll know his style: a deep dive into the bizarre and the genuinely curious. The show is scheduled for Wednesday, March 18, 2026, right here at the Dome Corn Exchange, as part of his current national tour.

The title, An Evening of Factual Intercourse, gives a good hint about the content. It’s essentially a comedy show built around storytelling and unusual facts—the kind of mind-bending anecdotes that make you question conventional wisdom. Schreiber uses the concept of the butterfly effect to explore these strange real-life chain reactions, guiding the audience through stories that reveal the extraordinary consequences of seemingly minor actions or decisions. For instance, he promises to share the story of a man who supposedly received a life-changing idea from a deceased doctor during a séance, and another about a mother who inadvertently inspired a major Hollywood franchise. It sounds like a night designed for anyone who loves trivia and humor equally. Given the nature of the material and the humor involved, the recommended age for attendees is 16+.

Schreiber’s background is extensive, stretching beyond podcasting. He is also a stand-up comedian, a TV presenter, and a producer, having co-created the long-running BBC Radio 4 series, The Museum of Curiosity. For readers interested in his writing, he is the co-author of The Book of the Year volumes, and his debut book, The Theory of Everything Else, came out in 2022, followed by his children's book, Impossible Things, in 2024. This event offers a chance to see how he translates his unique blend of humor and historical oddities from the audio format to the stage.
