Late Night Letters and Numbers

A rollicking night of fun and frivolity for math minded anagram lovers

Do you miss Letters and Numbers on SBS? We do too. But for all those word-nerds out there, there is hope: Late Night Letters and Numbers. It’s everything Letters and Numbers was, but with drinking!

Charmingly shambolic, Late Night Letters and Numbers promises an hour of outrageous arithmetic and wacky wordplay brought to you via the spontaneous game-show ramblings of guest comedians and local favourites. The result: an interactive and always entertaining night of joyful banter, unexpected abilities and terrible spelling.

★★★★★ ‘very, very funny...a great show’ - Funny Tonne

‘Everything you remember about the TV show, but interactive and in person...a rollicking evening of puzzles, brain teasers and more.’ - ACMI

Guided by the incredibly under-qualified host Nick Caddaye, and unrestrained by scripts, the rotating line-up of irreverent puzzle-busters will take you on a journey that is as unpredictable as it is riotous.

Late Night Letters and Numbers made its triumphant debut at the 2012 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, where it quickly became a cult hit, enjoying sell-out audiences and a devoted legion of fans. Since then, it has gone on to rave reviews and sell-out seasons at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Fringe World & Melbourne Writers Festival.

Previous guests have included Celia Pacquola, Lawrence Leung, Tripod’s Scott Edgar, Alice Fraser, Andrew O’Neill (UK) and, from the SBS original Letters and Numbers, the lord of literacy David Astle.
