“We step out of our solar system, into the universe, seeking only peace and friendship…”
So says the message from the human race on the Voyager spacecraft. But is there, y'know, anyone out there? Alex talked to an astrophysicist to find out. This is what he learned: Stellar Wobble. The Mirror Test. Fermi’s Paradox. Enhanced humans and murderous dolphins.

Stand-up meets astrophysics in this entertaining and deceptively simple show about huge ideas, exploring the stories we tell to understand our place in the cosmos, and what it means to be human.

“Wow! Completely stunning!” “Genuinely mind-boggling!” audience reaction
