A quest to find the most important fart in history
Following four sell-out Australian tours and two smash-hit seasons in London’s West End, Dr Chris and Dr Xand are back with the epic ‘Quest for the Jurassic Fart’.
This roarsome show will be packed with all-new crazy experiments that will take you back to the age of the dinosaurs as the doctors explore the fascinating world of science like never before. It’ll make you laugh-a-saurus and gross you out all at the same time.
On this quest, learn all about the microbiome, witness explosions demonstrating gas composition, use an endoscope to explore where the microbiome live and learn how dinosaur colon transplants is a procedure that anyone can easily try at home.
