Paradise awaits in this 1950s tiki-inspired fest straight out of the South Seas. Wear your finest Hawaiian shirt or kitschy getup to chill out under the palm trees and enjoy an icy cold, fruity mai tai or zombie–garnished with a paper umbrella, of course.

May 4: Sea Otters with Greg Sanders, BOEM and Parasite Clone Wars with Ana Elise Garcia, UCSB
June 15: P22 featuring Beth Pratt-Bergstrom, and Insects! featuring Justin Schmidt
 October 12: husband vs. wife featuring Dr. Hillary Young and Dr. Douglas McCauley

IMPROVology is a live, family-friendly mashup of science and comedy. Mix comedians with animal experts, add cool stories about fascinating critters, and everyone ends up happy as clams. It’s “Whose Line is it Anyway?” meets a “TED Talk,” where world-class comedians pros go ape and monkey around, but no one gets thrown to the lions. We hope. The winner is up to local celebrity judges and the audience! This is a family-friendly event, with food and drinks available for purchase.
