Science does not just belong in laboratories. It belongs in bars, on stages, in strange conversations, and in the middle of a room full of curious people holding a drink.

For our 70th show, as part of National Science Week 2026, Nerd Nite Melbourne is bringing together three brilliant minds for a night of surprising stories, big ideas, and gloriously nerdy enthusiasm.

Featuring:

• Wade Kelly
• Shane Huntington
• Krystal De Napoli

Expect an evening of fascinating science, unexpected insights, sharp humour, and the kind of passionate deep-dives that make you leave saying: “I had no idea that was so interesting.”

Whether you’re a scientist, a pub trivia enthusiast, or just someone who likes learning weird and wonderful things, Nerd Nite is your chance to experience science in its natural habitat: a bar full of curious humans.

• Three talks.
• One stage.
• Infinite nerd energy.

Nerd Nite Melbourne is part science festival, part comedy night, part public lecture, and entirely unlike anything you sat through in school.
