Rosie Wilby: The Science of Sex.
Ticket Price: TBA, Time: TBA.
The Mixing Bowl Theatre.
Hot on the heels of sellout shows at Edinburgh Fringe, Camden Fringe and Cambridge Comedy Festival, former Funny Women Finalist Rosie Wilby presents her brand new show. In it, she dons her lab coat and safety goggles to investigate the science of attraction, sexual chemistry and sexual identity with spoof experiments, graphs and handmade props.
What makes us gay or straight? What turns us on? What are pheromones? Why are we attracted to one person and not another? What happens chemically in the brain when we fall in love? What is the scientific origin of kissing? Do aphrodisiacs work?
The Science of Sex follows Rosie's memory-themed show I Am Nesia, which she was invited to perform at the Dana Centre at London's Science Museum and at the British Science Communication Conference following her Edinburgh run in 2008.
