With a degree in physics and a lot of worldwide work experience to do with space, Isa has now turned to comedy and is out of this world with her fantastic stories, excellent delivery and a ton of facts about space and science.
Dressed comically as an astronaut, Bonachera talks about her dreams of being an astronaut to a background projection which appears as if we’re together in a shuttle hurtling in to space. This projection also helps with many of the impressive audio and visual moments of the show which help to show parts of her life and specific pictures to do with space.
The show is also incredibly well-rounded with the different subjects she covers like her catholic upbringing in Spain, jobs and academic roles she has had over the years as well as all the different ideas she has about science, space and life in general. Her overall delivery and pacing were well done also; she was able to deliver jokes and punchlines which really hit you with laughter.
The stand-out moments of the show were all the science and space knowledge she dispense throughout the show. From the lives of science's greatest minds to describing blackholes, she is incredibly interesting and passionate. The jokes she made around these concepts also were amazing, some so cleverly done and delivered that they’re as smart as the scientific knowledge she dispels.
