The Scientwits
Super Science Show!
What’s better than one mad scientist? Two Scientwits! Captain Chaos has invented a contraption called the ‘Changeatron’ to make Science Sam less boring and educational like him. The machine malfunctions, creating Sam’s new character –Super Science, a more extreme version of Captain Chaos!
Super Science up levels the experiments, making them bigger and more spectacular and asks you to decide what happens next by using the ‘Wheel of Chaos’! Will Super Science ever be boring Science Sam again or has he been irreversibly changed forever? Crazy science, hilarity and complete chaos all rolled into one show!
The Scientwits have wowed audiences young and old as they ignite themselves and curiosity in their unique interactive and hilarious shows across multiple sold-out festival seasons! Cultivating a new style of show, The Scientwits bring a new breed of sketch comedy to the stage. Inventive, exploratory and belly laughing fun for everyone.
Meet the dynamic duo behind the fun:
Sammy Harrison AKA Scientist Sam, science teacher by day, stand-up comedian by night. Best known for his sell-out show at the 2012 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Sammy Harrison: Trail and Error – Couch to 100K (with all profits donated to Oxfam Australia).
Alongside John Burgos AKA Captain Chaos, established stand-up comedian, MC and joke writer in the Australian comedy circuit. Best known for his role as The Annoying Devil from Balls of Steel Australia and finalist in FHM's national search for ‘Australia’s Funniest Man OR Woman'.
"This was hilarious – my 7 year old daughter laughed so much she was rolling on the floor!"
"My kids absolutely loved your show today! They are now full of enthusiasm about science and chomping at the bit to try some experiments at home."
"It was one of the best shows ever we've seen! The positive vibe in there was next level, all of us had so much fun and laughed heaps :) Thank you for an amazing show!"
