Frequently asked questions
Yes, they have trained with comedians for a few weeks so that they can bring humour and laughter to their science talks.
This is a show where you can relax, grab a drink, sit back, laugh and learn.
Sure! If you don't mind them hearing some adult themes and potentially a swear word here and there. If you bring a child aged 5 and under who is making noise, there is a chance the venue will ask you to leave. The sound is distracting for other patrons and can really throw our scientists off!
