About this Event

Show & Tell for Grown-Ups is a platform to showcase niche interests and knowledge.
It's like a tiktok deep dive, but live and in-person!

The flow of the show:

Join us to have fun and learn something!

• Presenters get 5 minutes to tell us why something is cool.

• Then we open up for 3-4 minutes of Q&A with the audience.

• Other audience participation parts sprinkled in.

We are an introvert friendly show. Forced participation is not our jam. If you want to contribute, please know that we very much want to hear from you.

The Lincoln Lodge Presenter Lineup:

Tonight's presenters were chosen by audiences as their favorites. Either the content or their personalities stuck out and made the crowds beg for more. We can't wait for you to experience their showing & telling.

How did Show & Tell for Grown-Ups start?

This concept came from the host's love of learning new things from interesting people. While working in tech, Mary would talk to her technical coworkers and be so entertained by their ability to make seemingly boring science and math absolutely enthralling. She thought, "We need to give these people a microphone and an audience." And thus, the show was born in late April 2024 and has been growing to teach us all about niche hobbies, interstests, and concepts.

Do you want to present at Show & Tell for Grown-Ups?!

We can't wait to hear what you're excited about! We hold monthly open mic style shows to learn with new presenters. These shows are sometimes free to attend other times lower ticket prices. The goal is to never have a barrier for us to expand our knowledge and meet new friends. In order to grow the show, donations are greatly appreciated via venmo @tellmewhyshow.
