This isn't your average comedy show.

This isn’t a funny lecture series or researchers presenting a paper with a pun thrown in. We bring nerdy comedians and funny academics to make you laugh about the wonderful, sometimes weird, world of science. 🧪

Roast of Earth comedy show, DC Improv, April 2023

Our staple is "Science Comedy Night," which primarily showcases stand-up, but it can also include funny PowerPoints, stories, songs, and Improv. Headliners have appeared on Netflix, Comedy Central, and other major networks.

We also produce other science-themed shows, including interactive trivia shows and roasts (see our Roast of Earth 🌎).
