Professor Brian Cox takes science to a new dimension in this stage show with Robin Ince, exploring complex scientific ideas in an entertaining format.
Professor Brian Cox is returning to the stage this autumn with a new live show, joined by his long-time collaborator Robin Ince. The event is scheduled to take place at the Brighton Centre, providing a space to explore scientific concepts that are often considered complex. The show aims to bridge the gap between academic research and general interest, presenting ideas in a way that is intended to be straightforward for both those familiar with science and those who are new to the subject. It is a departure from the typical lecture format, focusing instead on a live stage presentation that explores the boundaries of current scientific understanding.

The format of the evening centres on a conversation between the two. Brian Cox, who is a particle physicist and a Royal Society University Research Fellow, brings his experience from the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to the stage. Many will recognise him from his work on BBC science programmes, where he has focused on astronomy and physics. Robin Ince, known for their work together on The Infinite Monkey Cage, will host the interview. This setup allows for a discussion that moves through various scientific topics, aiming to make them easier to follow in a theatre setting. The interaction between the two is a core component of the show, providing a structured way to unpack information that might otherwise be difficult to digest in a standard presentation.
If you are planning to attend, the show is happening at the Brighton Centre on Kings Road, Brighton, BN1 2GR. There are two dates available: Wednesday 21 October and Thursday 22 October 2026. Both performances are set to start at 19:30. While the specific ticket prices are currently listed as 'TBC', the event is ticketed and bookings can be made online. It is a chance to see this particular format of science communication in person, given the venue's capacity to host these types of live presentations. The Brighton Centre is a familiar spot for those who attend local events, and this show fits into the venue's schedule for the latter half of the year.
