Following his sell-out fringe debut, John and curator Dan Schreiber host a live version of the BBC Radio 4 hit in which guests donate their favourite items to an infinitely large and impossible museum. Different guests daily include Jimmy Carr, Susan Calman, Phill Jupitus, and a host of entertaining experts. 'QI with even more jokes' (Radio Times). 'Lloyd is comedy royalty' ***** (Telegraph).

Dan Schreiber: The idiot elf arrives at the Fringe
Dan Schreiber is one of the QI elves to which Stephen Fry often refers on the popular BBC panel show, helping dig up the trivia and misconceptions that form the heart of the show. But you might now that already if you're a QI fan, because Schreiber is also one of the regulars on the show's spin-off podcast that launched earlier this year, No Such Thing As Fish. Schreiber also works with QI creator John Lloyd on the radio show The Museum Of Curiosity, a programme he helped conceive and co-produces.

BBC Radio 4's The Museum of Curiosity will be spreading its wings, taking its first flight from the cosy confines of the BBC and heading north to make a temporary nest in the Underbelly at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this August.
With hosts John Lloyd and Dan Schreiber, the Underbelly will see a plethora of comedians, authors and experts come together to perform a special live version of this acclaimed BBC Radio 4 show (which is now in its seventh series). Special guests will include Jimmy Carr, Susan Calman and Phill Jupitus, with more names still to be confirmed.
The Museum of Curiosity is a comedy panel show like no other, bringing together the most interesting people in the universe and asking them to submit one item each to fill the Museum's empty plinths.
Created by John Lloyd, Richard Turner and Dan Schreiber, The Museum of Curiosity has proved to be one of the most loved programmes on BBC Radio 4.
