True or False: The Science Comedy Gameshow
This show features guest contestants battling against each other as they guess whether scientists are lying.
Get ready for a battle of wits, humour and a lot of wild speculation!
Guest contestants will include comedians, celebs and local scientists - many of whom have additional shows at the Adelaide Fringe.
During the night, everyone will hear talks from two awesome scientists who have mixed in a couple of lies in their hilarious talks.
The panelists will be given limited time to guess whether they've been told fact or fiction.
You can also play along from the comfort of your seats.
Please note: the matinee shows will feature teenagers from Adelaide schools as the contestants.
