Scientist-Turned-Comedian Tim Lee

Scientist-Turned-Comedian Tim Lee at the Atlas Performing Arts Center

Scientist-turned-comedian Tim Lee's unique comedy show blends stand-up comedy with science and humorous PowerPoint visuals. A former biologist with a Ph.D., Lee turned to the stand-up stage after years spent developing simulation and analytical models of population dynamics. Lee has become an internet sensation with more than 4 million views of his YouTube videos. "The New York Times" praises his "very cerebral comedy," and "The Boston Phoenix" described the show as "what would happen if you crossed your high-school chem teacher with George Carlin."
