Reach for the stars with a science comedy show that is ALSO a science trivia showdown. At FACTS MACHINE may your curiosity be satiated always! This month, participants will “REACH FOR THE STARS!” as they laugh and learn about ASTRONOMY & SPACEFLIGHT! Cell biologist Em Costa, neuroscientist Noah Guiberson, and long-time trivia host (who did research in orthopedics and cell biology on the side) Rob Frawley will be joined by astronomer & AMNH planetarium pilot Kate Schmidt; physicist & performer Ben Lillie, PhD; and astrophysicist & folklorist Moiya McTier, PhD for deep dives on deep space, comedy about the cosmos, and trivia.
Scientists by day and pub trivia hosts by night, Em, Noah, and Rob leverage their scientific curiosity and delight in obscure minutiae to bring you a show that explores life’s silliest, most unexpected, and outright awe-inspiring stories.
At every show, the hosts (Em, Noah & Rob) are joined by guest scientists, comedians, storytellers, and more as they share the fascinating stories behind their favorite facts, conduct scientific experiments (i.e. play drinking games), and conclude with a pub-style trivia quiz “loosely inspired” by that show’s theme. Come join in the fun!
