Love, Sweat And Science Come to The Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Can you stop sweating?
Is love real?
Can over-thinking answer all the questions?

After the Wine Science Show sold out shows last year, Luke Morris is back, and this time for the researcher with an excessive sweating disorder, it's personal.

Through the dating show If You Are The One, Luke is going to explain if love is real, if anyone stop sweating, and consider how mirror neurons can help snogging, as well as judge the friendliness of bower birds, Tom Cruise, and use Gray's Anatomy (the book) and plenty of Microsoft Paint.

"You might say I've found a niche," says Luke. "People who like to learn and laugh at a show, and don't mind seeing artwork by a 39-year-old who's working at a five-year-old level."

During childhood Luke was heavily bullied, and wrote comedy as a coping mechanism. Years later, following more social discouragement, he decided to take this humour to the stage and very quickly found success at stand-up nights in Australia, England and Iceland.

"It's strange. Sometimes it felt like there was a wall that was impossible to break, then a peak over the barricades while on stage and, Hey, some people aren't jerks. They enjoy this," says Luke.

Love, Sweat and Science or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Hate Bower Birds, is a true story on the science of human interactions, inspired by a unique perspective, filled with comedy.
