Selected Shows
Our Cybersecurity Edition featured Rebecca Wright, the head of Barnard's Computer Science program, who joined Ziwe, Michael Cruz-Kayne, and Wyatt Cenac at Symphony Space in New York City. We had an amazing night where the comedians learned about how digital privacy, hacking, and social media algorithms work.
Our Swarms edition featured Simon Garnier, a Biology professor who heads the New Jersey Institute of Technology's Swarm Lab. Our three comedians, Maeve Higgins, CJ Hunt, and Pooja Reddy, brought so much energy into the room as they learned about swarms and our understanding of a "hive mind" from Simon.
We brought Wrong Answers Only for a DC Debut edition at Sonoma Restaurant and Wine Bar right by Capitol Hill!
