Comedy for the Curious now has THREE shows all about animals:

Comedy for the Curious: Animals!

Quest For The Coolest Animal In The World!

Marine biologist turned award-winning comedian Robyn Perkins is on a mission to discover the coolest animal in the world! She has created three shows (so far) focused around the wonderful world of animals!

Brand new for 2026 and having sold out at Perth World and Adelaide Fringe already this year, Comedy for the Curious: Battle of the Reefs! Robyn is joined by hilarious quick-witted comedian and singer friend Elaine Fellows, for a battle royale to determine which is the best Coral Reef in the world! Packed with comedy, science, music and games, plus more fascinating animal facts than you can shake a tentacle at. Come armed with your own reef facts and opinions, as this show leaves no coral unturned.

In Comedy for the Curious: Animals! Robyn and musician Gavin Nicklette tackle the hot debate of Cats versus Dogs, alongside some other of their favourite animals. This show won a weekly award at Fringe World Perth last year in 2025

In Quest for the Coolest Animal In the World, Robyn is joined by one or two hilarious friends (Elaine Fellows, Andrew Silverwood and Rosie Russell) for a show full of music, comedy, games and of course fun animal facts.

From sneaky slugs to deceitful bugs, these interactive shows will have kids laughing and learning.  A must-see show for all who love animals!
