Comedian making mathematics and AI accessible

Matt Parker turns mathematics into something people actually want to think about. As a stand-up comedian, YouTuber, and author, he makes numbers, AI, and emerging technology genuinely compelling for technical and non-technical audiences alike. Matt is a New York Times and two-time UK #1 bestselling author of Humble Pi and Love Triangle. His YouTube channel Stand-Up Maths has over 1.3 million subscribers and more than 180 million views. Matt regularly contributes to outlets including the BBC, The Guardian, and Discovery, and has spoken at Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard. With a background in mathematics teaching and years of live performance, Matt translates complex technical ideas into clear, memorable experiences. His talk on how AI works includes a live interactive demonstration called Matt GPT, giving audiences a direct, hands-on experience with the technology. Audiences leave with a clearer understanding of how AI actually functions and ways to think more confidently about data and technology in their own work. His ability to combine technical thinking with entertainment keeps audiences engaged while improving confidence around decision-making and digital change. For a keynote that is technically credible, genuinely funny, and built around your audience, Matt Parker delivers.

Topics, sessions and talks

How AI Actually Works

Matt Parker takes apart the mathematics behind large language models to show exactly why AI can feel startlingly human one moment and confidently wrong the next. Using his interactive chatbot, MattGPT, to demonstrate, Matt makes the mechanics of modern AI visible and tangible, regardless of how much the audience already knows. Whether the room contains developers or complete newcomers, attendees leave with a working understanding of what is actually happening inside the tools that are already reshaping how businesses operate.

Stand-Up Maths

Matt Parker wrote the book on numerical error: his number one best-seller Humble Pi catalogues the moments when maths went wrong at spectacular scale. In this talk he revisits the greatest mathematical near-misses in aviation, finance, and software, from unit conversion errors that brought down aircraft to faulty spreadsheets that cost organisations millions. The stories are funny, the lessons are serious, and audiences come away with a sharper instinct for spotting the kinds of numerical assumptions that quietly cause real damage.

Quantum And Comedy

Matt Parker once bought 10,000 dominoes to build the world's slowest computer and prove how binary computing works. In this talk, he uses that same instinct for hands-on clarity to walk audiences through classical computing before crossing into the stranger territory of quantum. Drawing on his background in mathematics and his years of science communication, Matt puts the arrival of large-scale quantum computing in honest context, separating genuine disruption from hype so organisations can think clearly about what it means for them.

Coding, Data, And Tech

Matt Parker draws on his background in mathematics and years of hands-on science communication to cut through the noise around coding, data, and the technologies reshaping modern organisations. Rather than treating these as separate disciplines, Matt shows how they connect, where they break down, and why a basic grasp of each changes the decisions people make at every level of a business. Audiences leave better equipped to ask the right questions, whether they write code themselves or simply work alongside those who do.

Why we recommend booking Matt

With speaking experience spanning Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard alongside 180 million YouTube views, Matt Parker brings academic credibility and proven mainstream appeal. He makes technically complex ideas click for any room, from specialists to the simply curious.

Testimonials

He was highly professional and personable throughout, a joy to work with. Most importantly he was funny, interesting and everyone had a great evening.

We were lucky to have Matt perform as our surprise guest speaker at Demuxed 2025 in London. [He] tailored his set to best work with our audience… session was superbly received by our attendees, with many pieces of feedback that he was the best guest speaker we'd had in the last decade. We'd love to work with Matt again in the future!

Phil Cluff

I booked Matt for a corporate client with what might be called a challenging brief. The evening was a great success, most of which can be put down to Matt’s preparation and desire to really understand the audience before the show. He was highly professional and personable throughout, a joy to work with. Most importantly he was funny, interesting and everyone had a great evening.
