Science meets comedy onstage at StarTalk Live!, the StarTalk Radio road show that’s entertaining and educating sold-out audiences around the country! Just like the award-winning podcast and radio show, StarTalk Live! explores current events from the frontiers of science; and includes scientists, celebrities and comedians as featured guests. StarTalk Live! stage performances are hosted by either Neil deGrasse Tyson or Bill Nye the Science Guy, and are cohosted by comedian Eugene Mirman. Each live show bridges the intersection between pop culture and science with clarity, humor and passion, covering captivating subjects like space travel, human intelligence, sex, extraterrestrial life, the Big Bang, the future of our Earth and the environment.

StarTalk Live! gets its DNA from "StarTalk Radio," the iTunes chart-topping radio show/podcast hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson. "StarTalk" is also an Emmy-nominated television show in it’s second season on the National Geographic Channel. StarTalk Live! is coproduced by Curved Light Productions and Pretty Good Friends. Tonight's guests include Dr. Jim Green, NASA Planetary Science Division Director, Andy Weir, author of "The Martian," and comedian Maeve Higgins. $39 All Ages
