# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Volcano: A Science Comedy Show
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 14 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 14 May, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: What happens when a comedian walks into a volcano?
In 2023, Ben Miller was the artist in residence at Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, the first stand-up comedian ever selected. This was probably a terrible idea on their part.

Come watch this show where scientist-turned-stand-up-comedian Ben Miller explores volcanology, entomology, Hawaiian history, cats, cookies, and more. (And yes, that photo is real. Ben has made people laugh in front of a burning lava lake and he is not afraid of you.)

Back by popular demand—join us for a return performance of last year’s hit comedy show!
