Science, Comedy, & Childcare: We’ve Got Your Night Covered
Volcano: A Comedy Show for Adults, and Mini-Camp for Kids!
The kids get hands-on, and you get hands-off! While Ben Miller’s Volcano: A Science Comedy Show serves up laughs (and lava facts) for adults, kids ages 4 and up can join our volcano-themed mini-camp next door. Campers will build their own salt-dough volcanoes, then make them erupt for their grown-ups after the show.
Ben’s comedy is recommended for ages 18+, so we’re giving parents a stress-free night out—complete with beer and wine available for purchase—while our instructors keep the kids entertained.
Tickets for the comedy show and mini-camp are sold separately, so book both or just the one that suits your night.
Volcano Show Description: What happens when a comedian walks into a volcano? Find out in this science-packed comedy show with Ben Miller!
In 2023, Ben Miller was the artist-in-residence at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park—the first stand-up comedian ever selected. (Probably a terrible idea on their part.)
Come watch as scientist-turned-comedian Ben Miller explores volcanology, entomology, Hawaiian history, cats, cookies, and more—with plenty of laughs along the way! Ben has made people laugh in front of a burning lava lake and he is not afraid of you.
This show is recommended for ages 18+
Ben’s Bio: Ben Miller is a NYC based scientist turned comedian who has been fusing science and stand-up for the past 8 years.

He has a degree in Materials Science and Engineering, worked on a science bus, 3D printed cookies and has diffused a few bar fights while on stage. In 2022, Ben Miller's debut hour, Stand-Up Science, had a completely sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and he now tours internationally.
