Science Impro at Adelaide Fringe
Alan Duffy
My friend Cobi Smith wanted to test a theory that people can remember scientific lessons better when laughing. So it was off to the world famous Adelaide Fringe to try and be funny with science! Unbelievably we actually gave a professional improvisation (impro) gig too. We came third against professional comedians (unfortunately there were only three comedic teams). So yeah that did not go down well. But the science version later that night was a hit, and when I randomly met people after the show in Adelaide they remembered my particle physics lesson!
