Nerd All-Star Comedy Gala

Brilliant academics and hilarious comedians collide in a cosmic explosion of knowledge and laughter. Dr Justine Rogers curates a night of rib cracking laughs and mind blowing knowledge that will carry you up a guaranteed dozen IQ points.

Spaced out Research Astronomer Simon O’Toole (Australian Astronomical Observatory) will speak about the hunt for planets orbiting stars other than our Sun.

Man’s man, Rob Brooks, (Professor of Evolution at UNSW and author of the award-winning polar science book Sex, Genes & Rock ‘n’ Roll: How Evolution has Shaped the Modern World.) will address The Problem with Men.

Maths genius, the iterated Nalini Joshi, (Georgina Sweet Australian Laureate Fellow and Professor of Applied Mathematics) will contemplate the patterns of Life and Mathematics.

The magnificently controlled Tom Denson (Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at the University of New South Wales) will wax fanatical about how we can manage anger and reduce aggression.

Come along and watch this 90 min show if you’re the kind of person who likes a) comedy, b) learning, c) laughing, d) thinking or e) all of the above smashing together in a glorious brain-splosion.
