Jazz Hands: A Science Comedy Event
Science can be seriously funny! We have the evidence to prove it**
**not really
Support your local scientist as they do something *way outside* the box!
Every year we train a cohort of scientists, technologists, engineers, mathematicians, physicians (anyone STEM-adjacent) in the art of stand-up comedy. The result? A live stand-up show where normal science and technology professionals tell jokes about their work and studies.
Laugh! Maybe learn something!
Jazz hands on WABE!
Its no joke – Science for Georgia’s Jazz Hands was featured on the front page of WABE on Apr 1, 2025.
Thank you to Molly Samuel for writing such a great article and Matthew Pearson for making our comedians look so lovely.

Get Trained at No Cost!
We are recruiting scientists to be part of our 2026 comedy cohort. No comedy experience necessary, just a willingness to talk about something sciencey that you enjoy.
Training begins in early January 2026. You will be notified shortly after Thanksgiving.
Over four sessions we will provide you with communication training, comedy training, and tons of positive energy as you turn your passion into something funny.
In return – you get to perform at least one show during the year.
The events are live only – NO videos will be taken unless you ask, because we know you all have day jobs.
Tentative 2026 schedule:
Jan 11 | 2-4pm | Training 1
Jan 25 | 2-4pm | Training 2
Feb 8 | 2-4 pm | Training 3
Feb 22 | afternoon | Dress rehearsal
Feb 27 | 7pm | Show
