If you’re near NYC my friend and mathemagician Art Benjamin is doing That Math Show off-broadway until mid-August. I saw it and it’s great. He squares numbers live on-stage. thatmathshow.com

It’s official: @FryRsquared will be in the next Celebrity Traitors! If only there was some maths that could help her… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yx… (I love that the BBC alphabetised Hannah under “P”, like Professor is her given name.)

Still an epsilon number of seats left for tomorrow night's Big London Show which don't have the view blocked by a safety rail. That said: I promise to move around the stage so much that no one rail can block me for long. lwtheatres.co.uk/whats-on/ma…

My trigonometry book Love Triangle is now out in paperback in the USA!
What if we told you that triangles are what make our lives possible? In his #1 International Bestseller, LOVE TRIANGLE, @standupmaths says we should show a little more appreciation for this 3-cornered, 3-sided polygon 🥰📐 LOVE TRIANGLE is now in paperback. Start reading today! penguinrandomhouse.com/books…

I had to print 8,000 flyers. I know how generate print files using python. This felt unavoidable.

Sadly, my show at the #EdFringe has been can cancelled tonight because the wind is consistently above the safety rating of the venue awnings. Which leaves a mere 21 shows left to go. pleasance.co.uk/event/gettin…

Nothing focuses the mind to finish writing a show like already being a “pick of best stand up”. Minimal pressure then. midlothianview.com/news/our-…

Probably a better use of your time is to book tickets to see me: - at the Edinburgh Fringe pleasance.co.uk/event/gettin… - on tour around the UK standupmaths.com/shows/

The Moon Pi kickstarter ends in about 24 hours. But don't worry, we are fully funded. So I guess, there's 24 hours to give me more money I don't need. kickstarter.com/projects/sta… That said, teachers can still sign up for free here: pi.space/
