Excel comedy & Mathem-antics

Comedy show for spreadsheet experts and casual users alike, performed by a true piece of sheet, that blends stand-up, storytelling and demos. Sprinkled amongst the comedy routine, you'll learn a few Excel tricks from pun-loving Excel YouTuber and Jewish math addict David - “The Excel Comedian”. By holding the official Microsoft MVP Award for Excel, David is considered by Microsoft to be amongst the top 100 or so Excel people worldwide, and he advises Microsoft on future directions for Excel. Growing up with a maths obsession shaped David's life and paved the way for him to become 'the Excel guy' at the office, attend spreadsheet conferences and indulge in mathem-antics.
 
David's debut of this show was a sellout run at Edinburgh Fringe 2025.
