The Secret Society are going to stage two original pieces of strange and informative entertainment.
On the 15th July Richard will be presenting previews of his new Fringe show, EXPERIMENTAL.
EXPERIMENTAL is a show like no other, because it doesn’t have a performer! Instead, you’re taken through a series of psychological experiments designed to make you laugh, gasp and scream. Come along and be the first to experience this new form of immersive show that plays with your mind. The show will run for about 45 mins, and there will be a chance to chat with Richard about it afterwards. These performances will be filmed.
There will be 2 performances at 7.00 and 8.30.
On 16th July, Pete will be presenting a preview of his new show, THINKING OUTSIDE THE BRAIN.
THINKING OUTSIDE THE BRAIN is also a show like no other, but it DOES have a performer! That’s not the original bit. The original bit is that you actually get to think outside your brain. If you feel trapped inside your head, if you’d like to get out of your head, you can! Discover how to think outside the brain, and re-define the way you think. The show will run for about 55 mins.
There will be 2 performances at 7.00 and 8.30.
Both shows will take place at a secret location in the centre of Edinburgh, and we will email you details of the venue after you have booked a ticket.
Because we love you so much, and as a way of thanking everyone for being so supportive over the past few years, we are not going to charge for these events. Instead, we will charge £5 and a ticket and when you arrive you will get your £5 back.
However, there are a VERY limited number of places, so if you want to come along, please grab a ticket when they became available on this site at 10am on Friday 11th July. However, do be quick on Friday because our last event sold out in an amazing 3 minutes.

ah, no point in me applying then 😦
July 8, 2014 at 7:46 pm |
more than 3 minutes gone
July 11, 2014 at 9:04 am |
2m past 10 and can’t see anything on the site -where are the tickets on sale?
July 11, 2014 at 9:05 am |
I don’t understand how to get the tickets as it is 10 am already and I don’t see anything different on the site
July 11, 2014 at 9:06 am |
Where on the site?
July 11, 2014 at 9:07 am |
6 minutes past ten and still no sign of ticket sales. Am I and my frantic clicking part of the experiment?
July 11, 2014 at 9:07 am |
Have delayed an appointment this morning to get tickets but it’s now 10.06 and there’s nothing?? Have to go soon!
July 11, 2014 at 9:07 am |
Same!
July 11, 2014 at 9:08 am |
Yup, keep refreshing too – no idea.
July 11, 2014 at 9:08 am |
WHERE ARE THE TICKETS?
July 11, 2014 at 9:08 am |
I would like to go please, not too sure if I’m just dim or these are secret tickets, but I can’t discover them:/
July 11, 2014 at 9:09 am |
I think this is one of RW’s experiements – how long with will folk wait for a page update lol
July 11, 2014 at 9:09 am |
Paranoia sets in – as Catherine says we might be part of the experiment.
July 11, 2014 at 9:09 am |
Posts here are tagging as 09:04 and 09:05 – my bet is that the ticket button will automatically appear, but the page doesn’t think it’s 10am yet…
July 11, 2014 at 9:10 am |
Clever. Like your thinking!
July 11, 2014 at 9:10 am |
“EXPERIMENTAL EXPERIMENTAL is a show like no other, because it doesn’t have a performer”
It may not have an audience either…. 😀
July 11, 2014 at 9:17 am |
Aye right on
July 11, 2014 at 9:10 am |
I cannot see how to buy tickets for the event??? Any ideas???
July 11, 2014 at 9:10 am |
Good spot.
July 11, 2014 at 9:11 am |
Typical academic; slept in perhaps?
July 11, 2014 at 9:11 am |
The posts indicate 9 am for some reason. maybe they were referring to that time?
July 11, 2014 at 9:12 am |
Zulu time –
July 11, 2014 at 9:12 am |
The King cannot be saved!
July 11, 2014 at 9:12 am |
I’ve got to go out to the doctors very soon, will be quite pissed off if I miss out on tickets because the website’s not on BST!
July 11, 2014 at 9:14 am |
I’m very disappointed! 😦
July 11, 2014 at 9:15 am |
Argh! Gonna miss out, have to get back to work 😦
July 11, 2014 at 9:16 am |
Something funny is happening to the comments… they disappear!
July 11, 2014 at 9:36 am |
So have the tickets – so far
July 11, 2014 at 9:16 am |
Interesting to see how easy it is to be paranoid! I think Grant’s post above looks the most likely.
July 11, 2014 at 9:17 am |
Richard, adjust the clock!
July 11, 2014 at 9:17 am |
Perhaps it’s been set to release the page at 10am except the sever is running GMT not BST. Invisible fiver says the tickets appear at 11 or when someone notices there haven’t been any sales
July 11, 2014 at 9:17 am |
Academics are on strike today. Maybe he is too!
July 11, 2014 at 9:17 am |
Reckon it might just be 10:00 GMT rather than BST… that or we are part of the experiment
July 11, 2014 at 9:21 am |
Richard Wiseman cannot make custard
July 11, 2014 at 9:21 am |
I think this is because of the word ‘secret’ and the image used GCHQ and NSA are working their little b*** off trying to find a stenographic image or sinister link in the posts.
On second thoughts maybe the site has been hi-jacked to harvest addresses
Join NO2ID or EFF or both.
July 11, 2014 at 9:22 am |
We’re all part of The Experiment
July 11, 2014 at 9:23 am |
The Kin’s custard makuing abilities are in doubt
July 11, 2014 at 9:23 am |
Anyone who posts a comment gets a ticket
July 11, 2014 at 9:27 am |
Ok. I’m bored. I could spent longer waiting for a sodding ticket link than at the bloody show!
July 11, 2014 at 9:29 am |
really?
July 11, 2014 at 9:30 am |
really?
July 11, 2014 at 9:31 am |
Right, I’m off for a crap. I’m turtle heading here.
GCHQ – txt me when tickets are available please – you’ve no doubt got my number
July 11, 2014 at 9:32 am |
Been on since before 10 – hope these become available soon!
July 11, 2014 at 9:34 am |
This would NEVER have happened in Independent Scotland – our clocks would keep the right time…
July 11, 2014 at 9:35 am |
Fascinating stuff.
July 11, 2014 at 9:35 am |
FYI folks, this is also a free Fringe show at the Voodoo Rooms from 17 – 24 Aug… just saying
July 11, 2014 at 9:36 am |
Has anyone else emailed or tweeted Richard to try to let him know?
July 11, 2014 at 9:39 am |
Probably on his way home from the Heartland Climate Conference in Las Vegas.
July 11, 2014 at 9:39 am |
I tweeted him just now
July 11, 2014 at 9:39 am |
While we wait
July 11, 2014 at 9:41 am |
Just have
July 11, 2014 at 9:59 am |
Sure hope these tickets land at 11; found myself listening to Limp Bizkit somehow.
July 11, 2014 at 10:01 am |
bang goes the 11am theory…..
July 11, 2014 at 10:02 am |
11.30am apparently…
July 11, 2014 at 10:02 am |
Still nothing?!
July 11, 2014 at 10:02 am |
On sale @ 11:30 apparently
July 11, 2014 at 10:02 am |
Not 11am either then??
July 11, 2014 at 10:02 am |
is it time yet?
July 11, 2014 at 10:05 am |
July 11, 2014 at 10:07 am |
Will extra tickets be made available for those of us who waited for over an hour, fingers hovering, to buy tickets this morning?
July 11, 2014 at 10:31 am |
11 31 and nothing?
July 11, 2014 at 10:31 am |
Booked – probably best check your emails folks!
July 11, 2014 at 10:34 am |
July 11, 2014 at 10:40 am |

Howdy, There’s no doubt that your blog could be having web browser compatibility
problems. When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet
Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Aside from that, fantastic blog!
