Stir-Fried Science: a science comedy sketch show featuring local scientists

Are black holes newsworthy? Should menus tell the unvarnished truth?

Three performers play a variety of characters in comic sketches, stand-up, and songs in the latest science comedy show Stir-fried Science from theatre group Dramatis Scientificae who 'help working scientists share their experiences and their research, through narrative, theatre and film.'

It is a cornucopia of science, comedy, music and a smidgen of philosophy with guest appearances each night by local scientists from fields ranging from astronomy, physics, psychology, and bioengineering.

The performers are: Michele Conyngham, Patrick Trumper and Alison Carlson.

Local guest scientists include Drs Saoirse Connor Desai, Theo ten Brummelaar, Gerard van Belle, Alessandro Tuniz, and PhD candidate Sing-Young Chen.

Directed by Margie McCrae.

Stir-fried Science is supported by the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences (BABS) at UNSW, National Science Week and Inspiring Australia.

While designed for an adult audience, it is family-friendly.
