Punk Science - science comedy with live experiments
Using experiments, video footage and interactive voting, sketches and possibly some form of nudity, the punk scientists will attempt to explain all of Einstein's major theories. Well almost.
Discover with them why Brownian motion is not simply a bowel complaint, how marriage counselling could have improved Einstein's matrimony and why Einstein was the twentieth century's original Ozzy Osbourne.
This event is part of Einstein year, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the publication of three of Albert Einstein's major works: special relativity, the photoelectric effect and Brownian motion.
Punk Science consists of:
Bradford Gross
To make, take a pinch of Dean Martin, a pint of Iron Maiden, a quart of yogurt and a slice of apple pie. Blend on HIGH for 40 minutes. Add gin, ice and garnish. Serve open, like a head wound.
Dan Hope
Dan is a newcomer to Punk Science; he feels vulnerable and overexposed, like a reader's wife. Like love, he is a many-splendoured thing. Watch and learn (you scum).
Jon Milton
A wonderful young man who's intent on using his love of war films, character comedy and Steve Davis good looks to charm, educate and entertain.
Ben Samuels
Mime, street performing, mandolin playing, juggling and acting. Is there anything Ben can't do? Yes. Lots of things.
