Future Science Talks: Comedy Edition
Australia's favourite science comedy show returns to the Adelaide Fringe after selling out all shows last year!
In 2025, a new group of local scientists from Adelaide have partnered with comedians to infuse humour into their scientific talks.
See scientists doing stand-up comedy.
Laugh and learn at the same time!
At each show, you’ll be hearing a series of short talks from Adelaide’s best, brightest and and emerging science professionals.
Topics include: black holes, microbiology, psychology, genetic engineering, and much more.
Scientists are from Adelaide University, Flinders, UniSA, and various other organisations.
