Just seen Robin Ince on his current tour "The Importance of Being Interested" where he mostly talks about his favourite scientists, Charles Darwin and Richard Feynman. - If you get a chance to see him, go!
He was absolutely superb - a two hour show with a 15 min interval, yet he overran with so much energy and passion about science and frequent hilarious side-tracks. It was a comedy show in which I wish I had been taking notes so I could look up and learn more afterwards.
Here's a clip form one of his previous shows just so you know who he is:

[Disclaimer - if this is comes across like I think I know what I'm talking about, I want to make it clear that I don't. I'm just trying to get my thoughts down]

I know him well from The Infinite Monkey Cage on Radio 4. Well worth acquainting oneself with in my onion.
