Backyard Comedy Club, Bethnal Green
Speaker: Tom Boulton
Poet: Morwenna James
I Scream, You Scream! To mark the closing of our summer season, we paid homage to that oh so sweet, delectable and enduring symbol of Summertime to both young and old – the mighty ice cream cone!
Sunday Assembly’s own Tom Boulton has worked as an ice cream scientist for Unilever and Little Moons for 10 years. Today he enlightened us with a talk on the history and culture of this most iconic sweet treat; the technology and processes in how it is made and what goes into concocting the best flavours.
We also welcomed back Morwenna James, spoken word artist and published poet who uses radical honesty and self-deprecation to explore universal themes with a playful, humorous slant.
Watch Morwenna performing her poem Different Ice Cream for Sunday Assembly
We followed this Sunday Assembly with an ice cream crawl around East London!
