NEW YORK – Scientist turned stand-up comedian Ben Miller’s new comedy hour
‘Stand-Up Science Presents: Volcano’ has announced a tour. Tickets are
available here <https://linktr.ee/thisisbenmiller>.
What happens when a comedian walks into a volcano?
In February 2023, Ben Miller was the artist in residence at Hawai’i
Volcanoes National Park, the first stand-up comedian ever selected. The
program typically selects painters, poets, Grammy-nominated musicians, you
know, real artists. But somehow a silly joke boy managed to secure this
coveted spot.
He spent the entire month on the Big Island, exploring the national park,
learning from volcanologists, entomologists, archeologists, and local
Hawaiians about the science, culture, and history of Hawai’i. Almost every
night, he gazed into the fires of Kīlauea, the burning lava lake in
Halemaʻumaʻu crater and also wrote some jokes. Incredibly grateful for the
opportunity provided to him by the National Parks Arts Foundation, Ben
decided to take this comedic residency very seriously and turn it into an
hour of stand-up comedy.
Building off his experience with his previous science comedy hour that
had a 50 city tour across the US and Europe as well as a completely
sold-out 23 show run at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, ‘Stand-Up
Science Presents: Volcano’ continues to develop Ben’s nerdy yet
approachable style. This multimedia science comedy hour drills deep to the
core, delivering explosive laughs with fire-tested jokes.
About Ben Miller
Ben Miller is an NYC based comedian who has been working for the past 8
years and in that time, he’s performed at all the top clubs in the city
such as Broadway Comedy Club, Stand Up NY, Dangerfield’s, Carolines, and
The Stand. He was once ranked as the top roast battler in NYC. He also
has a degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Columbia University.
He’s worked with electron microscopes, been a teacher on a science bus, 3D
printed cookies, and diffused a few bar fights while on stage. His jokes
are sharp and self-deprecating, and he was once called “one of NYC’s best
pound-for-pound joke writers” which isn’t saying much considering how
little he weighs. www.benmillercomedy.com
