A delightfully ironic journey into the curious (and often stupid) side of human ingenuity.

This show examines the history of seemingly laughable inventions that helped save the world.

Journey through history and laugh at the idiocy that somehow, amazingly, led to inventions that helped save the world. This show is a delightfully ironic look into the curious (and often quite stupid) side of human ingenuity.

Gain hilarious new insight into the origin stories of these ground breaking discoveries – many of which happened by accident, greed, and stupidity.

This show blends stand-up and storytelling to celebrate underdog ideas and the people behind them – tinkerers, hobbyists, and accidental geniuses.

Indeed, the world has been saved many times by inventions that Stephen Bradbury’ed* into existence.

*In case you're Gen Z and don’t know who this is, Stephen is a true Aussie legend
