14LATEST NEWS: Cosmic Shambles LIVE
The Atheist Foundation of Australia is excited to announce that it will be presenting Cosmic Shambles LIVE in Australia in March/April 2017.
Cosmic Shambles LIVE is a variety show that celebrates curiosity and reason, an explosion of science, comedy, music and general wonder, with a great sense of fun. Hosted by comedian and writer Robin Ince, best known for co-hosting The Infinite Monkey Cage, and joined by a cast of world leading scientists, comedians and performers – this is a show that will make you laugh and make you think.
As the show travels across Australia (and New Zealand), many local acts and scientists will be incorporated into the show, making for a unique and different experience with every performance. Each show will be packed with surprises and secret guests.
Make sure you’re are on board for what is bound to be a series of nights like no other. Funky sounds! Nerdy wonders! Dazzling spreadsheets! Confused earthworms! And everything else besides.
Part proceeds from the show will be going to great charities like Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders).

And if you find your judgement conflicted by your beliefs, consider California governor Jerry Brown. Brown, who studied to be a Jesuit priest, consulted other priests before signing his state’s death with dignity act into law with these words:
“I do not know what I would do if I were dying in prolonged and excruciating pain. I am certain, however, that it would be a comfort to be able to consider the options afforded by this bill. And I wouldn’t deny that right to others.”
