The Hypothesis

“The Hypothesis combines science and improv to both inform and delight audiences. The team consists of scientists and science enthusiasts with diverse science backgrounds — ranging from neuroscience to ecology, from climatology to psychology, and everything in between.

The Hypothesis format consists of the audience asking the performers a question (ex: How does memory work? Why is the sky blue? What happens in a black hole? Can you terraform Mars?), and players with the knowledge then attempt to answer it. The Hypothesis has also welcomed special guest scientists to talk about their area of expertise in a short presentation to inspire the show. So come prepared with that one burning science question you always wanted answered. Or simply get ready to have your mind blown, and funny bone tickled as the Hypothesis takes you on a scientific comedy journey you never thought possible.”
