One has defined the Universe for many generations. The other has spent a
lifetime explaining it to millions. The Universe is Absurd brings William Shatner
and Neil deGrasse Tyson together for a rare live experience blending storytelling,
science, philosophy and humor, into two unforgettable evenings.

This is your favorite duo arguing about Life and the Cosmos. This is a dynamic
and unscripted conversation between two extraordinary minds whose chemistry
makes every moment unpredictable. Their discussions move freely across Mars,
Pluto, Quantum Theory, science fiction, exploration, the meaning of life, mortality,
and the strange realities of living in an infinite Universe. Expect bold ideas,
intimate reflections, surprising stories, and moments of laughter that only happen
when these two icons share the stage.

Two Nights. Two Legends. Two Universes.
Each evening features a different program and conversation. Attending both
nights reveals the full scope of the experience. Together, these performances will
weave a moment in time — where the cosmos feels personal and the absurd
becomes profoundly human.

William Shatner’s career spans more than seven decades, as he continues
exploring the unknown with wonder and endless curiosity. Dr. Neil deGrasse
Tyson brings clarity, humor, and cosmic perspective to ideas that connect the
Universe to everyday life.
