Gold Coast Science Comedy

The Science Comedy Program is debuting in the Gold Coast! And we are calling on researchers and scientists - as well as specialists such as engineers, IT workers and more to join!

The program consists of training with comedians, scriptwriters and public speaking specialists.

Each participant in the program will give a 10-minute talk that’s 80% science and 20% comedy.

The science comedy show at the end of the program is titled Future Science Talks: Comedy Edition. It will be held on 15 August at Uni Bar Gold Coast.

This show has been sold out across Australia and is featured in the nation’s best comedy and arts festivals.

To join, please submit an EOI via this link today! The form only takes 60 seconds. First in, best dressed.
