8½ Songs About Love (and other myths). Science of Sex, The8½ Songs About Love (and other myths).
Synopsis:
Arney, on the other hand, takes the musical approach. Her titular eight-and-a-half songs are not so much songs as tuneful poems accompanied by looping keyboard, ukulele or miniature accordion phrases: they rhyme only when it suits her and tend to fizzle without recognisable cadences (her "Thank you"s are necessary applause cues for an audience unsure whether or not the song is over). That said, they all feature at least one killer line, and Arney's delivery - at once irreverent and heartfelt - makes it difficult (if not downright curmudgeonly) not to warm to her.

Synopsis:
Dressed in a lab coat and goggles, Wilby approaches the topic with a scientific eye, discussing the biology of attraction with the help of some layperson-accessible graphs and formulae. While the science isn't especially funny, it is at least interesting, and provides Wilby with an original angle from which to tackle one of stand-up's best-loved subjects: the differences between men and women (and, more originally still, the differences between straight, gay and lesbian couples).
