Ben McKenzie: the Man in the Lab Coat

Yes, it’s that end of Science Week – the end when I’m out there spreading the word and explaining weird stuff.

Friday through Sunday is – my new comedy science lecture at the Royal Society of Victoria, celebrating the twentieth anniversary of that great unread classic of popular science literature: Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time. It’s on the last few days of Science Week – Friday, August 22 is a special matinee, free for schools, and there are two evening performances on the 23rd and 24th. The Historic Theatre is a beautiful venue, but not very big, so be sure to book! Details are .

Also during Science Week, but not part of it, are a few other projects of mine:

• The Anarchist Guild Social Committee meeting #3 – Melbourne’s newest comedy sensation, a live sketch comedy show at the Bella Union, Trades Hall, on the third Sunday of every month. It features yours truly as a writer and performer, and always fills to capacity. Details here.
• Set List preview season – an all-new improvised music comedy show premiering at Fringe, but you can catch an early preview at The Butterfly Club from August 21 to 24. I’ll be performing in the first show on Thursday, August 21. Details here.
• Impro Sundae – top-notch improvised comedy with The Crew, second and fourth Sunday every month, also at the Bella Union. Details here.

The Man in the Lab Coat travels back in time tonight for a spooky Friday the 13th! See him travel back to 1985 as a special guest of megaband 80s Enuff, performing for free tonight in the Bella Union bar at Trades Hall. So come and get your dose of time travelling megahits of the 80s, and while you’re there you should probably buy your tickets to Science-ology in advance – the ever popular Tightarse Tuesdays are selling out fast!
