In this episode, Verity talks about how she became interested in art history, how she got into stand-up and improvisation while studying for her art history degree at Oxford University, how she developed and founded the Art Laughs event in which comedians give art-themed stand-up routines in art galleries, and about her new book entitled The History of Art in One Sentence that traces 500 years of western art movements written in a playful way.
