About THE SHOW...
You Are a Doughnut is a biological-musical-comedy that takes audiences on a brilliantly fun, vaudeville-inspired voyage through the human digestive system — from table to toilet!
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.
It's a little bit gross — and a 'hole' lotta fun. (You might even learn something...).
That Science Gang's You Are a Doughnut debuted at the 2022 Adelaide Fringe Festival. The creation of this work was supported by a grant from the Adelaide Fringe Artist Fund.
In 2024/2025, You Are a Doughnut will be rolling across Australia on a massive national tour. Check out our GIG GUIDE for all the details.
