Wellington Comedian Sarah Harpur Goes Scien-terrific

Sarah Harpur is a philosopher, scientist and business guru. Just because she has no ‘qualifications' in these subjects, does not mean she is not an expert in all fields. Be prepared to be shocked and awed-out by conspiracy theories, scientific hypothesis and heaps of brainy-as shit.

Sarah's new show, Harpur's Bizarre, is loaded with scientific goodies:

Theory one: Pants are for losers

Theory two: Firefighters are over-diversifying their skill set.

Theory three: Whales should stop whinging and grow some legs.

Evolution. Revolution. Cancer The Musical. Harpur's Bizarre!

2011 AMP Scholarship recipient, Sarah Harpur has performed her delightfully macabre comedy at New Zealand International Comedy Festival, as well as Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals. She has won numerous awards for her comedy, including 2009 National Raw Comedy Quest, 2011 Best Comedy at Dunedin Fringe, and Best Marketing at 2009 NZ Fringe. Sarah is sometimes brilliant, often silly, always bizarre. Please Note: Audience Members will be expected to enter a state of willing disbelief.
