The University of Geneva show be hosted by Marc Abrahams. The show features genuine Ig Nobel Prize winners, who will explain, as best they can, what they did and why they did it:

Stephan Bolliger and Steffen Ross (is it better to be smashed on the head with a full bottle of be, or to be smashed on the head with an empty bottle of beer?)
Bart Knols (malaria mosquitoes are strongly attracted to the smells of Limburger cheese and human feet)
Kees Moeliker (homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck)

The show also features songs from Ig Nobel operas, performed by:

soprano Maria Ferrante and
pianist Alice Martelli

The show is co-sponsored by CERN and the University of Geneva. [NOTE: Last week, Marc and Maria and Alice all took part in TEDxCERN. Now Stephan and Steffen and Bart and Kees are all joining them for this big event at U Geneva.]
