Words with Nerds: POLITICS EDITION

Join us on Thursday, November 21 for Words with Nerds: POLITICS EDITION, a great show for information sponges who love to laugh!

Words with Nerds mixes TED Talks with stand-up by bringing together local specialists and comedians to present on a topic of their choice. Come for the laughs and walk away with strange new knowledge – previous performers have regaled audiences with presentations about dinosaur rib anatomy, a principal component analysis of the Taco Bell Menu, nipple equality activism in Madison, how people misuse statistics, what can be learned from watching 100 Hallmark movies, how to perform self-surgery, and much, much more.

Speakers and topics at this show include:

Ben O'Connell - "The Old Electoral College Try"

Lizzie Kirch - "Four Scores: The Women and Men Lincoln (Probably) Loved"

Tyson Cox - "The Evolution of Nerds and Their Projected Future"

Hosted by:
Noah Mailloux

Past presenters span local entrepreneurs, professors, researchers, activists, union organizers, surgeons, engineers, and stand-up comedians with an itch to nerd out on stage.

Words with Nerds is produced by Best of Madison-winner Cheshire Cat Comedy and began in 2022 as a monthly event on the third Thursday of every month at Crucible, Madison’s premier alternative arts club. The showcase has since blossomed into a feature showcase at locations such as The Forward Club at Breese Stevens Field, Chicago's Lincoln Lodge Theater, and Comedy Cabin in Janesville, Wisconsin.

Every now and then, Words with Nerds adds in a little splash of something extra; past examples include Rick Sanchez of Rick and Morty performing a burlesque number and Batman doing stand-up comedy.

Parties interested in presenting at Words with Nerds are invited to send their pitches to cheshirecatcomedyco@gmail.com.
