An hour that makes you think… is humanity screwed? An intellectual show exploring how AI became what it is now, what we can expect in the future, and a childhood talent show, with every topic masterfully connecting to another. Joe Sellman-Leava is a wizard with impressions, engaging the audience and writing a script that’s enjoyable but also packed with information. The smart use of cameras, projections, and lighting transforms a gorgeous white writer’s studio into a wild array of places ready to be explored. However, the show’s rapid pacing makes it difficult to follow, especially for those that are not following technology. Your brain may need a faster-speed processor, but overall, it’s a fascinating watch.

Pleasance Dome, until 31 Aug.
