Dumb inventions (That Changed The World)
Some inventions were carefully engineered masterpieces.
And then there are the ones in THIS show.
Dumb Inventions (That Changed The World) is a delightfully ironic journey into the curious (and often stupid) side of human ingenuity.
This show explores a handful of inventions that seemed idiotic, useless, or completely insane - until they changed the world for good.
Comedian and former journalist Dave Crisante explores the accidental brilliance of humanity in this show that somehow reassures us that perhaps there's a genius inside each one of us...
Inspiring? Perhaps.
Educational? Alarmingly so.
Proof that anyone can contribute to society? You might just leave thinking “the dumber, the better.”
Presented by: Dave Crisante
