From the creators of “The Alphabet of Awesome Science” comes a brand-new multi-award winning family show…
You are a doughnut!
It’s true! YOU are a great big fleshy lump with a remarkable hole running all the way through your middle — your digestive system.
Join biology teachers Oesoph A. Gus and Dewey Dean as they embark upon an utterly brilliant all singing, all-dancing (and all-clowning!) exploration of every twisting tube and remarkable organ — with sketches, songs, and sensational science. Along the way you’ll encounter a frenzy of enzyme powered ping pong balls, sing along with a rainbow collection of poop puppets, and witness the weirdest poetry performance you’ve ever seen.
“You Are a Doughnut” is a ‘riot of fun’ (The Clothesline) and a ‘sure winner for the whole family’ (Glam Adelaide) — presented by the ‘masters of educational entertainment’ (Play & Go).
It’s a little bit gross — and a ‘hole’ lotta fun! (You might even learn something...).
Duration: 60 mins
Age Recommendation: 5 - 12 years
Warnings: Some loud noises and haze effects.
