Veritasium or Brian Cox? New shows announced

My family and I have been debating the relative merits of Derek Muller of Veritasium fame and Brian Cox as both have announced shows in Sydney.

I’m not sure there will ever be a winner but we’re aiming to go to the Muller show. Brian Cox’s shows are always great, but we’re not sure they’re different enough to be worth another run at their premium cost.

Muller’s show, in Sydney on 2 August, revolves around a screening of his new film Vitamania which “daringly explores the lucrative industry in a world spanning investigation of vitamin science and history, and what they discover will confound opinions on all sides”. You can register to get pre-sale tickets here – which is also where you’ll find all the details.

Brian Cox will be in Sydney on 21 June 2019 (yes, 2019) with his new show entitled Universal. He says, “I believe very strongly that astronomy and cosmology deliver a vital perspective on our place in the Universe; we are at once tiny and fragile and yet filled with potential and value, and my ambition is for UNIVERSAL to be an exploration of our knowledge and a celebration of our humanity.” There are the usual smorgasbord of pre-sale options available on the website.
