About the Show

statistically significant. demonstrably funny.

Math. Science. Stand-up comedy.

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

So we decided to innovate.

Each Women in STEM comedy show features a unique lineup of female scientists and engineers. With backgrounds in fields like population genetics, nursing, and aerospace engineering, these comics are brilliant, hilarious, and uniquely relatable.

Whether you're looking for a creative entertainment option for your next company event or you join us for an upcoming public show, this is a crossover you don't want to miss.

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 have curated events for an array of professional associations, alumni groups, and community organizations.

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