Alex Berr: How to Kill a Mouse

CAVEAT is a downtown venue that puts on kick-ass, smart events. We’re redefining the boundary between intellect and entertainment. When the thirst for knowledge hits, you don’t have to sit at home watching TED Talks or binge-reading Wikipedia: this is a home for people who love learning, playing, and getting tipsy. Come for the oddball programming – stay for the beer, food and curious company.

Caveat

A solo comedy show from a dedicated biomedical researcher processing the loss of her mother to cancer.

A solo comedy show from a dedicated biomedical researcher processing the loss of her mother to cancer. A deeply personal, funny, and at times absurd look at grief and the human side of science. ★★★★★ "Endlessly compelling" - The Wee Review 
A solo comedy show from a scientist reconciling her personal life with her professional one. Alex Berr spent her adolescence studying a rare form of brain cancer; years later her mom was diagnosed with the same form of rare cancer. Reflecting on a life dedicated to science, Alex uses humor to process her mom’s death, while hoping for moral absolution for all the mouse casualties along the way. A deeply personal, funny, and at times absurd look at grief and the human side of science.

"Wry, consistent wit...gallows humour abounds" - The Scotsman 
"Very funny; a likeable and energetic presence...a witty and moving hour" - Fest Magazine
