Frequently asked questions

Are the speakers really scientists?

Yes, they have trained with comedians for a few weeks so that they can bring humour and laughter to their science talks.

Is the show interactive?

This is a show where you can relax, grab a drink, sit back, laugh and learn.

Can kids come to the show?

Sure! If you don't mind them hearing some adult themes and potentially a swear word here and there. Please note that our scientists aren't seasoned pros, so please bear that in mind if you have a little one under five who will make a lot of noise and disrupt other patrons and the show.
