Ben Miller Science Comedy Show
2023-09-23 19:30 - 21:00 | Crawlspace Comedy Theatre @ KNAC, 315 W. Michigan Ave, Kalamazoo, MI, 49007, United States
A show that’s equal measures hilarious, educational and deeply personal. NYC based scientist turned stand-up comedian Ben Miller takes you on a journey that explores everything from milk to thermodynamics with a wit and humor that makes these topics both approachable and delightful. And you probably like that sort of thing, nerd.
Come see this show in Kalamazoo after its sold-out run at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Ben Miller is an NYC based comedian who has been working for the past 6 years. In that time, he has performed at all the top clubs in the city such as Broadway Comedy Club, Stand Up NY, Carolines, and The Stand. In addition, he has performed in the New York Comedy Festival and Boston Comedy Festival. He is currently ranked as the top roast battler in NYC. He has a degree in Materials Science and Engineering, worked on a science bus, 3D printed cookies and has diffused a few bar fights while on stage. In 2023, he was an Artist in Residence at Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, the first ever stand-up comedian selected by the National Parks Arts Foundation. His jokes are sharp and self-deprecating, and he was once called “one of NYC’s best pound-for-pound joke writers” which isn’t saying much considering how little he weighs.

Artist Happy Hour – Creating Space at the Kalamazoo Non-Profit Advocacy Coalition
Having a safe, accessible, and collaborative space is paramount to the creativity, productivity, and overall success of working artists. Artists are often required to create space for themselves, both physically and mentally. We’ll chat with our panelists about the physical spaces in Kalamazoo and how to create space, take up space as artists, and give ourselves space to rest and recover. Arts Council Members, Artists, Organizations, and Space-Makers will be able to connect with each other directly.
The panelists for this discussion are Dann Sytsma, Board President of the KNAC, Yolonda Lavender, founder of Soul Artistry LLC and The Space, and Gabriel Giron, Executive Director of Speak It Forward, Inc. This one-of-a-kind event will occur at the Crawlspace Comedy Theatre, located in the Kalamazoo Non-Profit Advocacy Coalition Building in downtown Kalamazoo at 315 W Michigan Ave, Kalamazoo, MI 49007. Complimentary food and drinks are provided. The event is free to attend, but registration is required.

2023-05-27 16:00 - 21:30 | Crawlspace Comedy Theatre @ KNAC, 315 W. Michigan Ave, Kalamazoo, MI, 49007, United States
Sometimes traditional, sometimes contemporary, always imbued with a raw honesty, Lansing based Independent Music Award winning songwriter Jen Sygit wields a rare and powerful talent that seems equally comfortable performing ethereal folk tunes, crooning sultry swing numbers or soulfully belting gritty alt country ballads. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist who isn’t afraid to test boundaries and cross genres, Jen’s eclectic musical style draws the listener in and holds them captivated. Her poignant lyrics tinged with a delicate melancholy, reveal an oft-overlooked beauty to life’s mundane struggles while offering the occasional glimpse into the plight of a modern day troubadour.
