Scientist Turned Comedian Tim Lee
"very cerebral comedy" - NY Times A cerebral blend of stand-up comedy with science. Tim Lee is a comedian with a Ph.D. who's become an internet sensation with more than 4 million views of his YouTube videos. "You know how Larry the Cable Guy's act pretty much consists of him yelling "Git 'er done!" every five minutes or so? Scientist-turned-comic Tim Lee's material is the diametric opposite. Lee, who got his PhD before realizing where his true talents lay, blends science talk (complete with PowerPoint presentations) with comedy. The hilarious result is like what would happen if you crossed your high-school chem teacher with George Carlin." - The Boston PhoenixProduced by Tim Lee.Friday, October 4 (7:30pm), Saturday, October 5 (7pm) and Sunday, October 6 (7:30pm).
