Sci fight comedy debate: Psychology is a Freud
Howler7-11 Dawson St, Brunswick VIC 3056, Australia
(AEST)
Is psychology a science? An art? Or an ink blot of your parents fighting? As part of National Science Week 2025, Sci Fight Science Comedy Debate takes a deep dive into the mind.
After all, the history of psychology is littered with lobotomies, medically sanctioned orgasms, psychedelics, electrocution, and prison simulations that we can confidently point to as the reason we now have ethics committees. Not to mention making us all pretty uncomfortable with implications about wanting to sleep with our Dad. From this progeny of perverted renegades, could we possibly expect a legitimate science to be born?
But that was the past. Psychology now employs clinical trials, neuroscience, and a full suite of techniques with which to extract empirical data. We now have the tools to take us closer than we’ve ever been to understanding our inner being (My MRI scan confirmed I’m a tater tot).
Come to Howler and get psychological as a catharsis of comedians and scientists seek to discover whether psychology is science, pseudo, or potato.

The Howler is a bar and concert venue. The Howler is an old warehouse or factory of some sort, nestled in a carpark, on Dawson St just off Sydney Rd in Brunswick.
The bar area is one of the most aesthetically pleasing and trendy sections of a venue in Melbourne. Part of the roof in the bar area is not present except for some of the metal framing, which allows a lot of sunlight into the venue during day parties. Immersed throughout the Howler is several rows of garden beds, hanging plants and large plant pots.
The stage area is similar to most concert spaces. The crowd and music is completely dependent on the artist playing that evening.
