Comedy for the Curious
The Science Comedy Panel Show
Comedy for the Curious is the science comedy panel show about human behaviour, hosted by multi-award winning comedian Robyn Perkins.
Each show delves into a specific topic ranging from the science of love to the psychology of conspiracy theories, through stand-up comedy, engaging discussions, and interactive audience segments. Featuring a panel of diverse, quick-witted comedians and experts, the show dives into the quirks of human behaviour, unravelling complex topics with humour and relatability. Experts from past shows include psychologists, geneticists, researchers, neuroscientists and professional athletes. With its clever format and light-hearted exploration of science, Comedy for the Curious delivers a refreshing dose of entertainment for anyone with a curious mind and a sense of humour.
The show is simply about: why we are the way we are.
Whether you're a science geek, a comedy fan, or both, this show offers a perfect balance of fun and facts that keeps audiences coming back for more.

“Great show, performers and atmosphere. I would defintiely recommend (even if you're not that into science, you'll have a laugh!)”
It was terrific! Thanks for a good fun and insightful night in. ★★★★★
Properly informative AND properly funny! ★★★★
I really enjoy the science/comedy mashup. Learning should be fun & what better way to keep the mind engaged & learning than while having a laugh? You may think science isn’t your thing... you just need an open mind & love for laughter. ★★★★★
