We give scientists a microphone.
How do I describe this?
Science Riot is the only science outreach program in the country to turn scientists into engaging speakers through immersive training in comedy writing and performance. The resulting showcase is an evening of laughter, learning, and libations where our newest cohort of real-life scientists deliver their 10-minute comedy talks directly to real life humans.
Join us for a brainy comedy night where local scientists will attempt to perform stand-up for the first time ever!
Science Riot is a nonprofit program that provides free training for science professionals. We believe in the power of humor to connect with broad audiences, make difficult topics accessible, and humanize scientists without undermining the seriousness of their professions.
Science for Grownups.
Nothing makes science accessible and entertaining like comedy. Our events draw diverse demographics from outside of the science bubble; especially when compared to Science Cafes and other public lectures. After two years of programming across three cities, nearly all of our events continue to sell out in advance.
