Rao Morusupalli used to study the stars. Now he just stares at his unpaid parking fines and wonders where it all went wrong.
Fresh from selling out Sydney Comedy Festival, this joyous, silly, and slightly existential hour of stand-up takes you through Rao's life as an astrophysicist-turned-comedian who accidentally became a physics teacher, negotiates rent and the joys of car ownership, sprinkled in a healthy amount of class commentary.
It's a show about growing up, fitting in, and figuring things out - come laugh at the absurdity of academia, the small joys of playground swings to the big struggles of paying rent. And, if you're lucky, you might even learn a little bit about space.
Come for the laughs, stay for the existential crisis. Rao already is.
Part of Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
