Volcano: A Science Comedy Show – Ben Miller

What happens when a comedian walks into a volcano?

In 2023, Ben Miller was the artist in residence at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the first stand-up comedian selected. This was probably a terrible idea on their part.

Come watch this show where scientist-turned-comedian Ben Miller explores volcanology, entomology, Hawaiian history, space volcanoes, cats, cookies and more. Ben Miller is an NYC-based scientist-turned-comedian who has been working for the past nine years. In that time, he performed at top clubs in the city, including Broadway Comedy Club, Carolines and The Stand. Ben was once ranked as the top roast battler in NYC. He has a degree in materials science and engineering, worked on a science bus, 3D-printed cookies and has defused 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.
