Melbourne International Comedy Festival Presents DAYS OF OUR HIVES
Days of Our Hives is the tale of Alanta's adventures and misadventures in urban beekeeping. After fleeing from a swarm in the Czech republic Alanta turned her fear into fascination and is now a proud member of Melbourne's urban beekeeping community; removing swarms from her neighbour's kitchen, sharing bee trivia and upsetting people by explaining honey is, in fact, bee vomit.
Returning from an entirely sold out season of her debut solo show Parasites Lost at last year's Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Alanta's nerdy concoction of evidence-based comedy and personal confessions has been warmly received across Australia and internationally.
Alanta is a public health practitioner, comedian and co-founder of the Sci Fight Science Comedy Debate held at the Spotted Mallard. She's performed for the Gates Foundation, at Adelaide's Science Exchange, is a regular at Political Asylum and the Laborastory. By day she teaches engineering students about international development. By night she tells jokes about her bees to confused comedy crowds.
Days of our Hives will open on April 9 and run till April 22 for a 12 night run at Belleville Melbourne at 7.15pm. Bookings recommended.
