Not your typical open mic. A show for sharing niche curiosities. We're not focused on just laughs or music, we're looking for knowledge.About this Event
What's something that you're passionate about and could talk for hours about? Come and tell us why it's cool. We're here to learn together and make friends.
Tell Me Why It’s Cool Show produces live events designed to showcase humans and the topics that get them excited.
Do you want to show & tell or just here to listen and learn? Join us for a night of laughs and learning. Topics can range from the intricacies of dovetail woodworking joinery to the chemical structure of the 90s sensational nail polish color Unicorn Pee and the conspiracy of selling it on the black market.
Presenter gets 5-minutes to tell us why it's cool and then we open it up for Q&A for 3-4 minutes. Sign up online to secure your slot: https://forms.office.com/r/gfMRYyRR7p
If you want to present, here are some prompts for what to bring:
- Have you made something that you’re really proud of, but haven’t had a chance to properly show it off to people? (Kickass spreadsheets and life hacks encouraged!)
- Is there a subject that you have tons of seemingly pointless knowledge on? We love deep dives into the history or technical aspects of subjects.
- What was the last thing you did dopamine fueled rabbit hole research into (not necessarily work related)?
This show is PG-13. Keep this show free of adult content, excessive swearing, and anything that challenges anyone's religious, political, racial, or sexual identity. We're here to ignite interest in cool stuff, not fuel fires on heated issues.
If you are a topic expert/professional in the adult genre, let us know and we'll chat. We're gathering presenters for an Show & Tell After Dark/Sex Ed show in the future.
These Open Mics help us book interesting presenters for future shows
We hold this open mic to find new storytellers, interesting hobbists, and other cool stuff to learn about. We are booking shows all over the city and we need presenters. Show us what you've got and maybe you'll be invited to present again on future shows or podcast episodes.
We can’t wait to meet you and learn what you’re passionate about!
