Science Comedy Night.

Sun, Aug 9 2026 · 18:30 (UTC-04:00)

Science Comedy Night is back with comedians, experts, and people who still Google their symptoms at 2 a.m. for an evening of jokes with a health science twist. Expect sharp stand-up, strange medical facts from across the animal kingdom, and enough humor to make your high school biology teacher proud—or deeply concerned. Performers include headliner Ben Miller (Edinburgh Fringe Festival, NY Comedy Festival), Kasha Patel (founder of DC Science Comedy, NPR), and some surprise guests. The show will include an unhinged Q&A with a licensed medical professional who will answer audience questions. Side effects may include sore (face) cheeks, elevated heart rate, sudden (legal) snorting, and an uncontrollable urge to say, “Actually, that’s fascinating.” Anyone with a body and brain can enjoy this show, regardless of scientific background. Book your tickets before they become statistically unavailable. Warning: this event has not been approved by the FDA, peer-reviewed, or shown to improve long-term survival—but it may cause acute laughter and temporary faith in humanity.
