The Man in the Lab Coat

Welcome to the internest of Ben McKenzie, sometimes known as the Man in the Lab Coat. Ben is a Melbourne-based actor, comedian and writer who brings the wonder of science to the masses through a unique blend of theory and mirth.

Grounded in fact but soaring on the wings of hilarity, Ben brings energy, humour and sideburns of Graeme Garden proportions to the field of science communication, for audiences ranging from schools and scientific institutions to comedy punters at some of Australia’s biggest festivals. This year, that involves (among other things) the Melbourne Museum Comedy Tour!

When he’s not doing that, you can catch him writing, performing and directing as part of Melbourne sketch group The Anarchist Guild Social Committee, or on other independent projects with his own theatre company, Shaolin Punk. Oh, and he has a new side project: My Blog Loves a Bunch of Authors.
