*STIR FRIED SCIENCE - SKETCH COMEDY*
Butterfly Club 18 - 23 July

Are black holes newsworthy? Should menus tell the unvarnished truth?

Three performers play a variety of characters in comic sketches, stand-up,
and songs in the latest science comedy show Stir Fried Science from
science-based theatre group Dramatis Scientificae who “help working
scientists share their experiences and their research, through narrative,
theatre and film.”

It is a cornucopia of science, comedy, music and a smidgen of philosophy
with guest appearances each night by local scientists from fields ranging
from astronomy, physics, genetics, climate change, sustainable households,
and immunology.

The performers are: Dr Phil Dooley, a physicist and science communicator;
and thespians Michele Conyngham and Patrick Trumper

Local guest scientists include Sean Elliott, Simon Pampena, Catriona
Nguyen-Robertson, and Melissa James, directed by Margie McCrae.

Stir-fried Science has been created with the support of National Science
Week and Inspiring Australia.

While designed for an adult audience, it is family friendly.

Venue: The Butterfly Club, 5 Carson Place (off Lt Collins), Melbourne
Date: Monday 18 July to Saturday 23 July 7 pm
Tickets: $30 - $37 (The Butterfly Club has a no-questions-asked Covid
refund policy)
