Presentation 2: “Comedy” by Craig Fay
Having previously presented at Nerd Nite on “What is Fire?” and “What is Humidity?”, Craig is returning for a third time to present on “Comedy”. It’s only logical. Since it’s “A and B therefore Potato” it’s obviously “Fire and Humidity therefore Comedy”. Try and keep up Nerd Nite. Not only will Craig explain some of the basics of stand up comedy he’ll also delve into deeper questions like “what is a joke?” and “why do we laugh?” He may even provide a definitive answer to the age old question of “Why did the chicken cross the road?”
Craig Fay is an engineer by day and comedian by night. Comparisons to superheros are welcome and encouraged at this point. As a comedian with a passion for talking about science he’s appeared at the world famous Just For Laughs Festival, has been featured on CBC Radio’s Laugh Out Loud and has written about the frustrations of being scientifically literate for Scientific American.
