DOORS 6:00PM | 21+
Throw horns for history and rush the stage* for statistics riffs at the bar show where the nerds are the rock stars and smart is punk af.
Cue it up: Three experts. Dozens of cheeky slides. A bar full of former gifted kids gone feral who love special interest deep dives. This is Nerd Nite DC.
(*okay maybe just do this in spirit. Nerds are wild creatures who can be easily spooked by sudden movements.)
Nerd Nite DC has been DC’s favorite irreverent lecture series since 2009. This month, we’re bringing you a super queer lineup to celebrate and center LGBTQIA+ expertise in honor of Pride!
Your host this month is Nerd Nite DC producer and femme-cee Diva Darling, joined by our three wildly entertaining and wickedly smart speakers with three must-see talks:
• Tekla Taylor with "Trans History: Telling Our Stories to Build Power "
• Pretty Rik E with "Drag Kings: Presenting in a Masculine Space"
• Kali Holder with "A Court of Stabs and Gonads: The Story of Naked Mole Rats"

Doors open at 6, show at 6:30. Talks are 15 minutes with a 5 minute Q&A, and during the breaks, you can play along in our “alternate talk titles” competition to try to win a free drink on us. It’s rowdy, interactive, and the most fun you’ll have learning something all month.
The show is on the second floor of DC9 and is mostly standing room with limited seating available on a first-come, first served basis.
Nerd Nite DC is produced by Rae Pendergrass, navi, and Diva Darling.
