Comedian Ben Miller bringing comedy to Boonshoft

On March 1, the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery in Dayton will host a show that mixes comedy and science to create a uniquely entertaining night for guests.

Accompanying Miller’s stand up are pictures, videos and graphs, which help accentuate his jokes, while also helping to explain the concepts he covers.

Miller has a degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Columbia University, and he uses that experience to his advantage in “Stand-Up Science.”

According to a release from the Boonshoft, what initially started a web series created by Miller turned into a sold-out show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2022. In the time since, he has toured throughout the US and UK with his show.

His show is designed for those 14 and older as there will be some suggestive (but not explicit) content. The website for the event also humorously states that the audience is “Nerds, scientists, teachers, and curious people.”
