Stand Up Science with Sane Mauss

Award-winning stand-up comedian and science podcast host Shane Mauss presents Stand Up Science!

Learn and laugh as local scientists, comedians and other special guests join Shane to bring you a one-of-a-kind show that is equal parts ahas and hahas

Stand-up comedy and science have a lot in common. They both reveal truth, change our perceptions, and challenge the status quo. So why are they so underappreciated? Admittedly, comedy sometimes underestimates the intelligence of their audience, catering to the lowest common denominator. And science has the stigma of being overly complicated, unrelatable or boring. Until now.

Funnier and more provocative than TED Talks, while smarter than traditional stand-up comedy, Stand Up Science combines the best of both worlds. This thought-provoking night of laughs will leave you a little smarter, a little happier and send you home with plenty of fuel for your own conversations.

American Comedy Co

Shawn Wayans

Shawn Wayans was born into one of Hollywood’s largest and most successful comedic families so he was naturally gifted with the ability to make people laugh. Before breaking out as a television and film actor Wayans first made his mark as the resident DJ on “In Living Color” (1990-94) the Fox sketch comedy series created by his older brother Keenen Ivory Wayans. He carved his own acting career with a starring role opposite younger brother Marlon Wayans in “The Wayans Bros.” (The WB 1995-99) a sitcom that followed two loudmouth and girl-crazy siblings who live with their eccentric father. Wayans achieved notable success in feature films by portraying hilarious and offbeat characters in the “Scary Movie” (2000) franchise and in the genre spoof “Dance Flick” (2009) where the actor delivered some of the most off-the-wall and amusing performances ever seen on screen.
