Live Science Comedy Show and Dinner Downtown

Join Faculty Director Mona Merling and Faculty Fellow Christina Frei for a comedy show about science (with a guest scientist from a local university), followed by dinner afterwards at Rosy's Tacos downtown. Will be a lot of fun and educational! Please RSVP at the link. Friday September 5, show starts at 7, dinner afterwards at 8:30pm. Is That Right?! Dr. Prateekshit "Kanu" Pandey and Cara Hammer Comedy & Improv, Immersive & Interactive Experience, Theater What if understanding science didn't mean getting it right? IS THAT RIGHT?! makes getting it wrong the whole point. In this game show hosted by a real-life scientist, Dr. Kanu Pandey, four improv comedians face the ultimate challenge: explaining research to the mystery scientist who conducted it. The twist? They meet the scientist for the first time live on stage with zero preparation. Will the comedians explain their science successfully, or will they fumble their life’s work? Watch breakthrough discoveries get brilliantly botched through confident explorations of comedic proportions. From interpreting the field of research to conducting scientific podcasts, contestants use creativity with zero actual expertise to explain studies they've never seen before. Meanwhile, our guest scientist watches their life's work get hilariously reimagined. Imagine if a TED Talk was also a hilarious trainwreck. You're welcome. Each show features a leading researcher from the Philadelphia region's top institutions, including Penn, Temple, Rutgers, and more! Past mystery guests include neuroscientists studying social connection, microbiologists exploring sleep rhythms, genetics researchers investigating gut health, and political scientists analyzing breaking news patterns. This research directly impacts your life – from sleep to social media to nature and wildlife, our scientists will change the way you think about the world! Whether you're a comedy fan, science enthusiast, or just looking for a fun night in Rittenhouse Square, IS THAT RIGHT?! delivers laughs, learning, and the occasional moment of accidental brilliance. Come see what happens when scientific rigor meets comedic chaos.
