Dork Side of the Moon: A Science Comedy Show

Is it comedy or is it science? Yes! In 2020, Sarah Hagen finished her PhD in mathematics. In 2023, she took things to the next level and created a raunchy-yet-educational PowerPoint to better spread the good word of math to the people of the world. Come watch a comedic presentation during which the audience learns how the Ancient Greeks were able to measure the distance to the moon and sun despite living in a time period so primitive that memes were shared via pottery.

TICKETS:
$20 adults, $18 seniors | Recommended for ages 18+ OMSI members receive 15% off

ABOUT THE PERFORMER:
Sarah Hagen is a mostly normal person with an irritating obsession with mathematics. In an act of wild desperation, she began moonlighting as a stand-up comedian with the express purpose of incorporating mathematics into comedy. Seven years later, she is a fixture of the northwest comedy scene and co-producer of the touring STEM vaudeville show Singu-hilarity, as well as the popular recurring show Naughty but Nerdy, which runs all over the West Coast. She holds a PhD in mathematics and is a former OMSI Science Communication Fellow.
