After 3.7 billion years, Dr David Jones has evolved – research biologist by day, comedian by night. He attempts to tell the complete story of all life on Earth, from primordial soups to primates in suits. Can he squeeze the origins of life, the evolution of millions of species, the extinction of millions more and Homo sapiens' rise to dominance, into a 60-minute show? Judge for yourself as he delivers a gloriously geeky hour of science-fuelled comedy. 'Brilliant, funny and informative. Our teenagers were mesmerised for an hour' (Audience review).
