Fringe First winner and "peer-reviewed rapper" Baba Brinkman (Rap Guide to Evolution, Rap Guide to Religion) explores the scientific study of consciousness in his latest hip-hop comedy. Baba's brain consists of roughly 90 billion neurons with trillions of connections, and none of them has any clue that he exists. And yet those cells come together to produce a steady stream of ill rhymes, laughs, and mind-blowing scientific findings. Come and find out how. 'Astonishing and brilliant' (New York Times). 'Funny and fascinating' ***** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Close to perfect' ***** (Skinny). 'Awe-inspiring' ***** (Scotsman).
