Scientist Comedy Show

  • Free
  • Comedy

Rao is reworking a bunch of material from his last show, How Now Brown Rao, before taking it to the Edinburgh Fringe.

This stand-up show will be about a lot of things, but broadly speaking it's about being both a comedian and a scientist, and how both of those things have caused Rao to suffer in different ways.

Rao has performed to packed rooms across Australia and internationally for most of the last decade, earning critical praise, a Judge's Pick award at Melbourne Fringe, and a five-star review for his latest show, Space Comedy.
