David Klein presents: Birds
Goodnight Kiwi. Bird of the Year. The hoiho on your fiver. Hatupatu and the Birdwoman. The kākā screaming outside. A silly show with real bird facts. Fringe 2015's Best Newcomer finally hatches a new show - a love letter to Wellington and manu we share the city with.
This live presentation combines facts, jokes, video, prizes and songs into an engaging slice of science storytelling. Bird numbers are way up all over the city - it's a great time to be a bird or bird fan. Learn about the wildlife swooping past you and get excited for a Wellington that becomes wilder every day.
Free Fact - most kākā are left-footed.
David's last Fringe outing was Towards a Better Understanding of the Universe. Theatreview said, "This is an autobiographical journey told through the Universe. Yes, the goddam amazing universe that we're all a part of. I'm hooked." The show also popped over to Melbourne Fringe where reviews glowed it was "almost as perfect an hour as you could have."
Towards evolved into Tour de Science - a science storytelling show. The Tour was on a bike and pedalled all around Aotearoa (down to Rakiura and up to Kaitaia!). Across 60 towns and cities, audiences loved David's easy-going yarns that sneakily piled on some real education.
Most recently, David branched out and became Plant Man: a show for children that wondered, "What would it be like to be a plant?" Kim Hill asked him about trees and vegetables and described him as "cool as a cucumber."
Be cool, get hooked and squawk about this new show. The title says it all - David Klein presents: Birds
