A comic tour of the medieval world with daft professor of medieval studies Luke Connell and his games, props and songs. Get to know creatures like sea-centipedes and manticores, dogs with names like Havegoodday, and characters like Eilmer the flying monk. Discover the old worlds taste in tourist tat, and expect to leave convinced that medieval medicine was better than the modern kind. Or maybe not. Luke Connell is a professor of medieval French literature at Durham University and a stand-up comedian. He is a regular panelist on the Stand Comedy Club Newcastles monthly show Nerds Just Wanna Have Fun.
