The Provocateurs: Memory Management / Breathe. Sleep. Wee.

The Stand Comedy Club 2 Show Dates: 20 Aug 2026-20 Aug 2026

Neurobiologist John Girgis (The University of Edinburgh) puts brains under microscopes to see memories being created. What does that look like? How should we relate to our memories? Are we only the total sum of what we can remember? Ensuring a detainee’s dignity defends against prohibited treatment and supports a more successful return to society following detention. Professor Kasey McCall-Smith (The University of Edinburgh) explores how bad breath, faulty lights and over-running privies unjustifiably degrade lives in detention.
