Know It All?

Punk Science - Know it All?

I was wondering several things when I spotted this show in the programme?

1. What on earth? A science show at the Fringe.

2. Can science be funny? it is in the comedy section.

3. The title of the show is 'Know it all? Do they mean they know it all, they want to know if we know it all or are they simply know-it-alls?

As the only Science Museum London, based Comedy troupe Dan and John strive to make the subject interesting, by the use of comedy and demonstrations. 

After asking visitors to the museum what science questions would they like answered they have taken a selection of these questions and after in-depth research have brought the answers in the form of an Edinburgh Fringe performance. Some of the questions were. Why do Birds fly? Can animals commit suicide?  Do you get wet in a cloud? Can you get DNA from a fart? and  will cryogenics bodies work?

For an entertaining and informative show which is sneakily educational go and see Punk Science - Know it All?  As a bonus you could get a certificate in Knowitallology.
