Science talks in Newcastle Fringe
Newcastle Fringe Festival
Future Science Talks: Comedy Edition is debuting at the Newcastle Fringe Festival in 2024 after sold out shows across Australia. Tickets available here!
15 scientists from Newcastle have partnered with comedians to infuse humour and laughs into scientific talks. Laugh and learn at the same time!
At each show, you’ll be hearing from Newcastle's best and brightest young and emerging science professionals.
Each talk is on a unique topic. No two talks are the same!
Three shows will take place on 22, 23 and 24 March at the Newcastle Museum.
Speaker information is below. Each speaker will be in one of the shows and this information will be updated shortly.
