Robyn Perkins - Mating Selection
What is love? On a scientific level? And how does society influence morality and mating selection?
On 14 August 2018, Robyn Perkins participated in a dating show in front of a live audience. Her experience led her to question human morality and the social constructs of present-day dating, explained through a scientific lens. Robyn Perkins (Sydney Fringe 2019 Best in Comedy Award Winner) tells this epic true story while weaving in some hilarious explanations about the science of love, morality & dating today.
Robyn is known for her “confident, charming and relatable personality” (EdFestMag), which allows her to delve into complex and uncomfortable territory. How do social constructs change how we date?
"This show is smart, engaging, fun and funny. Robyn Perkins’s scientific account of potential romantic encounters was utterly riveting, with her audience involved and engaged throughout." (Chortle) "Funny, genuine, & very clever." (Fringe Biscuit).

Mat Hobs - BSc (Bristolian of Science)
This stand-up comedy show is about the ups and downs of my career in the world of science.
It’s about what led me into science (the hubris of thinking I could win a Nobel prize) what led me out of science (issues with the aforementioned hubris) and how I’ve finally come to love science.
In the show I use humour to explain scientific techniques we used to study and theorise about proteins and processes we cannot observe, and I explain how an accident in the laboratory, which could have affected my vision, led to me developing OCD.
The show is bought to life with projections that are both scientific and ridiculous. Bristolian of science comes from a successful run at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe, where it was loved by audience members and reviewers alike.
“BSc is a very easy show to enjoy, starring a very likeable leading comic with a talent for multimedia comedy” (Wee Review).
Rahul Kohli - The Kohli Bible
Raul has always wanted to believe in a higher power, but always felt admitting this would be as shameful as admitting attending regular incestual bukkake parties. Using this hour of stand up, he now seeks to explore religion, faith, belonging and identity. Come see a stoner try and conclusively prove God exists, punching way above his remit while occasionally calling Ricky Gervais a c**t. 'Inspiringly Intelligent', Paul Sinha. ****, Fest
