About this event

  • No venue parking

The debut comedy show from a scientist reconciling her personal life with her professional one. Alex 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.

We have been very successful at nurturing local talent and can point to a long line of alumni like Hannibal Burress, Kyle Kinane, T.J. Miller, Pete Holmes and Cameron Esposito who all got their start at The Lodge. Our reputation for professionalism, talent and integrity means organizations such as Just for Laughs and Comedy Central have invited us to collaborate with them.
