Show & Tell for Grown-Ups Theme: Zoology & Taxidermy

Looking to meet real people IRL? Welcome to the first step.

The Tell Me Why It’s Cool Show produces live events designed to showcase humans and the topics that get them excited.

We can’t wait to meet you and learn what you’re passionate about.

The show started here in Chicago April 2024 and has been bringing together a wide variety of knowledge junkies ever since. Check out our instagram to get a vibe for what the show is @tellmewhyitscool_show We can't wait to have fun & learn something with you.

Presenters sign up online for their 5-minute slots to tell us why something is cool. Then we open it up for Q&A with the audience for 3-4 minutes.

Chicago is full of interesting people who love to chat so the show is different every time.

Topics can range from showing off Salt & Pepper shaker collections to the chemical structure of the 90s sensational nail polish, Unicorn Pee. Sometimes people bring their cool collections or teach us about a Pop Culture phenomenon that they think the world needs to hear about.

This show is PG-13. We're here to ignite interest in cool stuff, not fuel fires on heated issues. Presenters promise to keep this show free of adult content, excessive swearing, and anything that challenges anyone's religious, political, racial, or sexual identity.

Our theme at The Insect Asylum is Zoology & Taxidermy! Sign Up for your 5-minute slot to tell us why something is cool

If you want to present, here are some prompts for what to bring:

• Have you made something that you’re really proud of, but haven’t had a chance to properly show it off to people? (Super Cool spreadsheets and life hacks encouraged!)
• Is there a subject that you have tons of seemingly pointless knowledge on? We love deep dives into the history or technical aspects of subjects.
• What was the last thing you did dopamine fueled rabbit hole research into (not necessarily work related)? Tell us why it's cool.

This is just one of the formats that we create. Follow on Instagram @tellmewhyitscool_show or visit our website www.tellmewhyshow.com to find out what other kinds of niche knowledge parties we're throwing!
