You Chose Poorly

We make an infinite number of choices every day - in relationships, in finance, in Buzzfeed quizzes. But how do we make them - and why are some of them so terrible? Science comedians Alanta and Ben invite you to dive into your own psyche, paddle about in your subconscious, and sun yourself on the deck chair of your hopes and fears as they explore the psychology behind the bad decisions we all make. Hopefully you won't regret it.

Alanta Colley is a science communicator and comedian. Her debut solo show ‘Parasites Lost’ sold out the entire run at Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF) in 2017, and was performed for the Gates Foundation in Seattle, and just had a successful run at the Sydney Science festival in August 2018. Her follow up show ‘Days of our Hives’ had more bee keepers in attendance than any other show at the festival. Alanta runs ‘Sci Fight Science Comedy Debate’ year round at the Spotted Mallard. She is made almost entirely of cheese.
