A bald man in a pink shirt, braces and yellow bow tie looks through the centre of a doughnut. Next to him, a man in a white t-shirt and pink shirt looks through the centre of a doughnut.

One man in a pink shirt and blue trousers holds another man, also in a pink shirt and blue trousers, caught in his arms — in front of a large pink doughnut.

A man in a pale blue onsie is surrounded by 4 poop puppets — 1 orange, 1 green, 1 blue and 1 red. A large pink doughnut stands behind him.

You Are a Doughnut

• Comedy

Australia

From the creators of the "The Alphabet of Awesome Science"…

…comes a biological-musical-comedy that explores the ins and outs of the human digestive system!

Join biology teachers Oesoph A. Gus and Dewey Dean as they take a hilarious journey through every twisting tube and organ — with sketches, songs and sensational science! It’s a fast-paced variety hour, with each new digestive destination inspiring a wonderfully unusual performance.

It’s a little bit gross — and a ‘hole’ lotta fun!

You might even learn something (…even if that’s just an excellent new fart joke!)

★★★★★ “A lesson on the human digestive system in the most fun, action-packed way you could possibly imagine” Glam Adelaide

★★★★★ “The audience just lapped this one up… it is a proper 5 star show. Get around it!” Kids in Adelaide
