About the Show

statistically significant. demonstrably funny.

Math. Science. Stand-up comedy.

For centuries, these sacred disciplines have been reserved primarily for men.

Women aren't funny. Women aren't smart. And women certainly should not get on stage and be either of those things.

So we decided to do it.

Women in STEM features a comedy lineup made up entirely of female scientists and engineers. No diversity. No equity. No inclusion. The way comedy was meant to be.

"Actually funny"

About the Host

Hi, I'm Cassidy.

Host & Producer, Women in STEM Comedy

A former traffic engineer (it's a real thing), I work in software by day and spend the rest of my time writing and performing standup comedy.

I started Women in STEM as a one-off experiment. Several sold-out shows later, we've had hundreds of people come through the door and an outpouring of incredible feedback.

If you're looking for a unique, hilarious, and genuinely memorable addition to your next event - let's talk!
