When is my sleep paralysis demon’s new bedtime product line dropping? Has Betelgeuse heard the ending of Romeo and Juliet?

When she’s not puttin’ on the Ritz in live shows like Yesterday’s Horoscope\, she’s a doctoral student at Columbia’s Teachers College studying science education in informal settings like museums (and Caveat!). Find her on socials at @K_Gustovich on X and @mucho_gustovich on Instagram. \nIman Behbehani (she/her) is a masters student at the CUNY Graduate Center studying stellar explosions\, from dwarf novae to supernovae. Iman is a producer for Astro on Tap\, and started an affinity group for women of color in stem\, as she strives to make science more fun and inclusive. Outside of astro\, Iman enjoys boxing and riding her bike along riverside park. (Insta: @astroontapnyc) \nEmily Zhang is a writer/director specializing in science YouTube. Her path began with an astrophysics degree\, a lifelong love of video\, and a dream.

No\, she doesn’t have her own. Yet. IG @emilylinzhang. \nThis month’s guest! \nKyle Marian is a comedian\, producer\, science journalist and former scientist. She performs across the US and UK\, creating socially-mindful\, inclusive and accessible shows like ‘The Filipino Comedy Festival\,’ ‘Asians Strike Back: A Coronavirus Comedy & Science Show’ and ‘The Symposium: Academic Stand-Up.’ Kyle is now cultivating a network of educational standup comedians through the Science Comedy Collective (IG: @thesefunnynerds).

As Edward’s journey unfolds\, viewers have the opportunity to learn alongside him\, gaining insights into the challenges faced by adoptees and the power of self-discovery. This show is a love letter to adoptees and an invitation for all to learn more about us. \nAbout Edward:\nEdward is a two-time Emmy nominated Senior Writer/Producer for Brand Creative at NBCUniversal and Peacock.

SUMMARY:Comedy: Ricky Sim: Coming Out to Dead People
DESCRIPTION:Following sold-out shows and multiple rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe and London’s Soho Theatre\, “Coming Out to Dead People” is making its Joe’s Pub debut. This comedy solo show is based on the time when comedian Ricky Sim was grappling with the decision to come out to his Chinese-Malaysian immigrant mother\, just as she was diagnosed with terminal cancer – talk about good timing. Combining stand-up and storytelling\, the show explores growing up as a gaysian in the noughties in NY\, learning how to keep his first boyfriend with the help of the rapper Sean Paul\, while navigating the complexity of coming out\, alongside the intersection of racial and cultural identity. Ricky Sim is a lawyer-turned-comedian originally from Malaysia. As a standup\, he has opened for Julia Scotti (America’s Got Talent) and Marcia Belsky (Comedy Central) and was featured in the New York Comedy Festival\, and Asian Comedy Festival. “Coming Out to Dead People” was selected as one of the Offest finalists of the 2024 Off-West End Awards (OFFIES). \nPhoto Credit: Arin Sang-urai
