At long last I am filming my stand-up show: Humble Pi. It's based on a book I wrote (just in case I've not mentioned that enough).

The filming was planned for April 2020 (ha) and is only happening now (hopefully!) thanks to a kickstarter to cover the costs of the cameras, crew and post-production. It's basically fancy pre-orders but helps the cash flow immensely.

This is a warning that you don't need to double pay! I appreciate that you already support me making YouTube videos. And while this sort of filming is a whole different scale it feels miserly to make you pay twice. So once the stand-up special is done I will send a free download link to all Stand-up Maths patreon supporters. You can just sit tight and wait for that.

But I know some of you will want to support the kickstarter because of all the other perks. Also: you're legends. So this also serves as advance warning that it has just gone live and you can get in first before I mention/promote it anywhere else. There are only a finite number of signed USB drives so I figure you should get first dibs!

And if you're near London you're welcome to attend the filming: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/culture/whats-on/matt-parker

Thanks as always! 

PS I have three videos all competing to be first uploaded to my channel to get ready for that.

I'll need a new USB stick soonish, so I might as well get this one :)

Christoph Lechleitner

And there's one more USB-stick I don't really need ;-) 24 Ł for "Level 4! USB stick", 3 Ł for shipping to Austria. I added 441 pence (or pences?) to make it an apropriate amount. If you don't understand that you should read the book and watch all of Matt's π videos.

Vincent Zalzal

That's exciting, loved the book, really looking forward to your new show!

Nice. Been a while since I exec produced anything. Having to pay to have my name misspelt this time seems a bit rich. You've done it unbidden and for free in the past!

Thomas N Wyndham

Very clever to put this out the week I had an extra day and a half worth of overtime.

Daniel Welsh

Ha! Bonus add-on: your name spelled wrong.

Matthew Datcher

Backed! I wish I could lend a hand in the production.

The Dean

Can you be more specific about which "London", and what distance constitutes near? If I'm sufficiently near London, Ontario, Canada, will I still be welcome to attend the filming?

Louie Ruck

We're booked to come see it- from back in 2020! Can we say hello? 😁

Sarah Patterson

Since the Bloomsbury Theatre listed as the filming location in the link is in London, England, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that you being in Ontario, Canada is *not* close 😜 I'm near-ish London, Ohio, but that's not getting me anywhere near the filming :)

Bret Scofield

The funding is something like 5x past the original goal, so I'm sure Matt is deciding what he's going to do with the extra. I look forward to it

Kickstarter won't take my pledge :( 3D secure not working or something.

Congratulations on 1M YouTube subscribers. Happily backing Humble Pi
