Perth Science Comedy

See Perth’s best scientists delve into comedy!

FRINGE WORLD Festival

Future Science Talks is debuting at the FRINGE WORLD in 2025 with three shows on 8 February.

We have our quiz show “True or False: The Science Comedy Quiz Show”, at 12pm and 2:30pm.

It is being held at Curtin University and features teams of teenagers who will be guessing whether what scientists are saying is true or not!

We also have our stand-up comedy show “Future Science Talks: Comedy Edition” at 6pm.

This show features a range of scientists, including Lizzy Lowe, Fiona Helen Panther, Gemma Anderson, James Lloyd, Tim Yates, Bec Handcock, Tamra Kidner and Sam Xie. Topics include astronomy, maths, insects, plants, education and much more.

For examples of our shows, visit our YouTube channel here.
