On Saturday night, June 20, 2009 Dr. Tim Lee, a UCSD-trained biologist with a PhD in ecology from UC Davis, will be performing his twisted brand of science comedy through Powerpoint at the Carlsbad Village Theater. He was interview recently by the San Diego Union-Tribune and explained exactly what kind of people enjoy his shows:
I’ve found that, in general, the people who come out to my shows are very bright and possess a strong intellectual curiosity. I feel really lucky to have an audience like that. When I started out in comedy, I spent countless nights performing to a room full of drunks. They want you to get dirty as quickly as possible. I felt like a stripper. Now that I’m doing my own shows, it’s like teaching a class full of gifted students. I trust they understand what I’m talking about and go with it. If you talk down to them, they’ll get bored.
