Optimised, improvised comedy based on your survey responses

DEFROST 2026: Human Error

Can an algorithm create a scientifically perfect comedy show? Using your generous survey responses and our Proprietary Scientific Process™ we believe we can!

Human Error is an improvised comedy show about our evolving future, where big data rules all and everything is optimised to within an inch of its life.

Before the show, you'll be asked to answer a short survey question for our algorithm to crunch into hard comedy diamonds. Using your answers, our brave scientists will improvise the most scientifically optimised comedy your precious little eyes have ever seen. And if you don’t agree? Well, you provided the data, so I guess it’s your fault!

Your feedback is important to us!

No, really. We actually really need it for the show to work.

Featuring: Jessica Hunt, Oli Palmer, Kara Pogos, Rachael Ivancic, Brandon Mikel and Declan Dennehy
