Learn and laugh as scientists and comedians come together on stage to
bring you a one-of-a-kind two-hour show that is equal parts ahas and
hahas! What to Expect: In each city, host SHANE MAUSS KICKS THE
EVENING OFF WITH SOME OF HIS BEST MATERIAL ON BRAINY TOPICS BEFORE
INTRODUCING TWO LOCAL SCIENTISTS TO GIVE SHORT PRESENTATIONS ABOUT
THEIR MOST INTERESTING RESEARCH. Between each talk a second comic in
each city will perform their most cerebral material. All with the
help of your host riffing after each guest. At the end of the night,
SHANE BRINGS ALL THE GUESTS BACK ONSTAGE AND OPENS THE FLOOR FOR A Q&A
so the audience gets a chance to be a part of the show. About the host
and the origins of STAND UP SCIENCE: SHANE MAUSS LEADS TWO LIVES.
Originally from Wisconsin, SHANE NOW TOURS THE WORLD FULL-time as an
award-winning STAND-up comedian. SHANE HAS BROUGHT HIS UNIQUE BLEND OF
ABSURDIST HUMOR, thoughtful insights and storytelling to cities all
over the world, as well as TV spots on Conan, Kimmel, COMEDY CENTRAL,
Showtime, BBC, and Epix. SHANE’s unique background, COMEDY, and
personal philosophies have also made him a popular guest on other top
podcasts like Pete Holmes You Made It Weird, Marc Maron’s WTF, The
Joe Rogan Experience, Duncan Trussell’s Family Hour, Bertcast and
more. Halfway through his career, this former factory worker who
skipped college to pursue COMEDY DECIDED TO FOLLOW HIS CURIOSITIES AND
START THE SCIENCE PODCAST HERE WE ARE. He’s now interviewed
roughly 300 leading scientists about our most fascinating traits and
behaviors while finding the funny in the innermost workings of life.
Each week SHANE ILLUMINATES A NEW AREA OF RESEARCH FOR THE SHOW’s
50,000 loyal listeners, earning a 5-star rating on iTunes. Now on a
mission to present SCIENCE AND BIG IDEAS IN A FUN AND ACCESSIBLE WAY,
he’s asked his new scientist friends to join him live on stage! The
perfect blend STAND-up COMEDY AND SCIENCE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON. They
both reveal truth, change our perceptions, and challenge the status
quo. So why are they so underappreciated? Admittedly, COMEDY
SOMETIMES UNDERESTIMATES THE INTELLIGENCE OF THEIR AUDIENCE, catering
to the lowest common denominator. And SCIENCE HAS THE UNFAIR STIGMA OF
BEING OVERLY COMPLICATED, unrelatable or boring. But they both just
need the right platform to shine. Having now made over 100 stops on
this tour, SHANE BOOKS ALL DIFFERENT GUESTS AND TOPICS MAKING EACH
SHOW FUN, unique and unpredictable. This thought-provoking night of
ideas and jokes will leave you a little smarter, a little happier and
send you home with plenty of fuel for your own conversations. Past
reviews: “MAUSS IS INTELLIGENT, likable and sharp” – VICE
Magazine “MAUSS HAS CLEARLY FOUND A POPULAR NICHE IN HIS NATURAL
FASCINATION WITH THE HUMAN MIND. However, attendees should be
forewarned: The show is still going to kill you with laughter.” –
Austin Chronicle "Experience with a variety of comedic techniques and
interactions with renown SCIENCE EXPERTS HAVE MOLDED MAUSS INTO A
WELL-rounded and imaginative performer. MAUSS STRIVES TO PERFORM
THEMATIC, laugh-out-loud COMEDY, interjecting SCIENCE IN BOLD,
innovative ways." – EU Jacksonville
