It is hard to explain adequately, but this is one of the funniest shows I have seen all year – and the word got out because the final performances all sold out early. There is a theme to “Dr. Science” about how science is always about asking new questions. The theme I took out of the show was that when you have three talented comic actors on stage, literally anything can happen.
Apparently reading my book, Surviving Your Stupid, Stupid Decision to Go to Grad School, is #15.
The worst thing about Dr. Science’s Science Time Science-va-ganza! is that it’s only an hour long.
Last year, Adam Ruben made me laugh out loud during his one man show called Please Don’t Beat Me Up: Stories and Artifacts from Adolescence at the Capital Fringe. This year he is back with his usual geeky humor!
Dr. Science’s Science Time Science-va-ganza may well be the funniest production I have ever experienced at CapFringe.
Remember how awesome Mr. Wizard was? Well, the dudes behind this show are taking that inspiration and turning it up to 11. Brace yourselves. Lots of dry ice is involved.
Story tellers Adam Ruben and Chuck Na produce and star in this parody of science demonstrations. Baking soda volcanoes, dry ice and everything that made science class fun entertains until something goes wrong.
I became a scientist partially because I was lied to. And you all know the liar I’m talking about–the guy in the lab coat who comes to your class in third grade, dips a rose in liquid nitrogen, and smashes it with a hammer. “THAT’s science?” the kids say. “I love science!”
