Science Comedy Show 2023

Science Comedy Talks return after sold-out shows at the Sydney Comedy Festival!

Each show features 5 scientists (30 in total across all 6 shows), who have partnered with comedians to bring laughter to their science talks.

Laugh and learn at the same time!

Just how much alcohol consumption really is good for us? Can science predict the next gen of emojis? And how is Australia leading the world in psychedelic therapies?

Come hear the answers to these questions and more from Sydney's best new and emerging scientists.

Each show features 5 wildly different scientific presentations, with a tonne of humour sprinkled in.

This is a joint production by Future Science Talks and the Sydney Comedy School.
