The Man in the Lab Coat travels back in time tonight for a spooky Friday the 13th! See him travel back to 1985 as a special guest of megaband 80s Enuff, performing for free tonight in the Bella Union bar at Trades Hall. So come and get your dose of time travelling megahits of the 80s, and while you’re there you should probably buy your tickets to Science-ology in advance – the ever popular Tightarse Tuesdays are selling out fast!

Not to put too fine a point on it
Here’s another Man in the Lab Coat date for your calendars: on April 21st, as part of Trade Aid, I’ll be performing as part of BirdHouse, a tribute to the songs of They Might Be Giants. What songs will the Man be singing, you ask? Well, let’s just say that he’s been brushing up on his astrophysics and the life-cycle of stars…
Tickets are $22 or $18 for groups of 6 or more, with all proceeds benefiting the Asylum Seekers’ Resource Group.
Don’t forget, Science-ology is still on until April 29th, and you can also see the Man performing with the Crew in Classic Impro Sundae, Instant Order: Trial by Audience, and Instant Musical Odyssey. Check out the Crew’s line-ups for details!
Reviews, giveaways and improvised excellence
More buzz about : one of the hardy souls participating in the Funny Tonne (where the contestants try to see 100 Festival shows) gave the show 8 out of 10. Also the very lovely Edward Yates came to see the show, and you can read his thoughts about it in his blog, the wells of fancy.
If you’d like to see Science-ology on Friday the 13th (spooky!), arts web site The Program are giving away three double-passes for every show in my venue, the Banner Room (aka the TARDIS) at Comedy @ Trades! Check out this awesome giveaway here.
The Crew‘s Instant Order: Trial by Audience opened last night, and you can catch Ben in this improvised murder trial tonight at Glitch Bar + Cinema in St. George’s Road, Fitzroy North. And don’t forget to check out the other Crew shows: Classic Impro Sundae at the Comic’s Lounge, and Instant Musical Odyssey at Laundry, as part of Triple Trouble.
The Night of Nights

Tickets are selling quite well, but while there are lots of seats left, remember that only 30 people can come on any particular night – so book in with Comedy@Trades to avoid disappointment! See you at the show…
