Dr Jimmy: Existential Physics (or Why the Universe is Gay) [WIP]

Dr Jimmy, the self-proclaimed “world’s GAYEST (& most gorgeous) physicist”, has a mission: prove the universe is GAY and solve the Theory of Everything once and for all.

Why are waves gay? Particles straight? And quantum mechanics the ultimate textbook guide to being bisexual?

Why are quarks queer? Tops difficult to observe? And bottoms are literally EVERYWHERE!!

Dr Jimmy collides hardcore physics with hardcore queerness (and a lil existential dread) as he scales the peak of all knowledge.

So, join Dr Jimmy at the frontier of physics and prepare to be blown (away)!!!

This is a work in progress of Dr Jimmy’s full-length debut, heading to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2027. Come and help shape the show!

What audiences said about the 2026 Edinburgh run:
“Laugh out loud funny, and deeply poignant.”
“A supernova of energy and joy.”
“Funny, clever, filthy, warm.”

Dr Jimmy is James Robert Lyon, a Scottish comedian/ performer & former physicist from Fife.
