Hello everybody and welcome to the show thanks for spreading the word about

stand-up science we had a successful test run of eight shows we had fantastic

results some unexpected results some cities that did stronger and weaker than others, and

it's still a small sample size, but it was enough to know that the show is going to be a real hit

and we're taking it all around the country next year. Right now I'm

planning on we're reassessing things a little bit rather than starting the

quarterly shows right away some of the things we need to get more data

basically so we're going to spread out and do more shows all around the country and still try

to get back to start a regular maybe triannually show in the cities as

promised if it doesn't happen in 2019 to make something a quarterly show in those it will happen in

2020 we're kind of zeroing in on the markets letting the markets decide where

this show is going to be the most popular and again if you're unfamiliar

you're just tuning in stand-up sciences is is me hosting a live one of a

kind experience it's you can't stream it anywhere

and nothing like that you have to go out you have to see it live live entertainment

remember it we're bringing it back it's be me hosting. I'm going to introduce an academic

to do a 15 minute talk, then a local comic to do their most surreal material, and then

another academic to do a 15 minute talk.

And then that's the first half of the show.

The second half of the show is a panel discussion with me, the two academics, and the other

comic led by you the audience guided by your questions

Q&A with the audience so everyone gets to be involved it's been a really special experience
