NORTH COAST COMEDY NIGHT: BEN MILLER
VOLCANO: A SCIENCE COMEDY SHOW

$15
What happens when a comedian walks into a volcano?
In 2023, Ben Miller was the artist in residence at Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, the first-ever stand-up comedian selected. This was probably a terrible idea on their part.
Come watch this show where scientist-turned-stand-up-comedian Ben Miller explores volcanology, entomology, Hawaiian history, cats, cookies, and more.
Ben Miller is an NYC-based scientist-turned-comedian who has been working for the past 9 years. In that time, he has performed at all the top clubs in the city, such as Broadway Comedy Club, Carolines, and The Stand. Ben was once ranked as the top roast battler in NYC. He has a degree in Materials Science and Engineering, worked on a science bus, 3D printed cookies, and has defused a few bar fights while on stage. In 2022, Ben Miller’s debut hour, Stand-Up Science, had a completely sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and he now tours internationally.
