Yo! This is your advanced warning that I've just started a new kickstarter campaign to cover the costs of self-producing my new stand-up special.

Some of you will have seen my stand-up show Getting Triggy With It. But most humans have not. Mainly because I did a mere 50 or so live shows around the UK. So now I'm going to film it as a stand-up special and make it available for digital download.

Just like my previous show, Humble Pi, the filming is only possible thanks to a kickstarter fundraiser. Because I self-produce these shows, which lets me use all kinds of bells and whistles a traditional production company would hesitate to give me, kickstarter funding helps me cover all of the up-front costs that come with recording, crewing, and editing the film.

Now, as a Patreon supporter, you will get access to the digital download of the show for free. I will send it to you directly as soon as it's available. You all already financially support my YouTube channel (much appreciated!) and a free stand-up special is the least I can do to say thanks.

But, that said, there are a bunch of ridiculous limited-edition perks that you might want. So this is your early warning to claim any delicious perks you may want over on kickstarter.

I've not promoted the kickstarter campaign yet, but will do in an up-coming exciting video about bridge heights. So get ready for that.

Tickets for the filming itself are also on sale now, if you want to see it in even higher definition than your eventual digital download: https://www.bloomsburytheatre.com/event/2026/10/getting-triggy-it-matt-parker

Thanks for everything!

Wow, pretty sneaky, Matt! I got the email from Kickstarter first, immediately signed up to support you — because, that's what we do here, right? — and only *then* did I get this Patreon post informing me that I'd get a free digital download regardless! Alright, Dr. Parker, this better be worth it... 😉

Gregor Shapiro

Of course it will be worth it! They always are.

Bartosz Błaszkiewicz

Important point of clarification. What quality will the digital download for Patreons be? Because if it's 1440p or less I will be forced to back the Kickstarter. Oh I hate those pixels more that Gargamel hates Smurfs. Ok. Joking aside. Does "no perks" for the lowest tier include also "no digital download"?

Ooooh congrats! Lmk if I can help with posting/sharing/others~

Origami Alice Zhang

Oh also! Do you know when it'll be released? I'm worried about the possibility of *the paper* not coming out before that. Hopefully I'm just in over my head about it

It makes me disproportionately happy to see this fully funded in just under 4 hours. Most things in math have the number 4. May all the 4s be with you.

Future Matt is going to spend a lot^pi seconds taking pictures for all the backers!

standupmaths

Nah, we are all good. This should come out in December at the soonest, but probably January 2027.

Patreons will have a choice of any resolution they wish (of any of the ones we've rendered). "Perks" include the thank-you photos and anything else specific to kickstarter.

Turns out the promotion was the friends we made along the way.

standupmaths

That was the real hustle. Luring people into a sense that their meaningful support allows me to make a show they will enjoy. Ha.

standupmaths

And we're just crossing the "laser threshold" as we speak. I'm expecting a message from Laser Abby any moment now.

Origami Alice Zhang

Okay thanks, I mean, danke! (Trying to practice my German :D)

Florian Linscheid

Did y'all get a link to the last show Matt did and said Patreon supporters would get the link anyway? Because I sadly never did and also didn't get an answer to a comment I posted on patreon a while ago...

Andrew Foong

Thought I was going crazy. Searched for it in patreon and my emails and couldn't find anything

Ulrich Kempken

Kickstarter: backed - ticket for show: booked - flight to London: booked. Excited to be in the audience for the recording!

IcosiMath

I was there for the show in notts!

standupmaths

Producer Nicole here - I will re-send the link to both of you now!

Bravo Whisky

I made his problems worse earlier this week. I'm sure you'll do something interesting with all the extra money!
