---------------------
Words with Nerds is produced by Best of Madison winner Cheshire Cat Comedy and mixes TED Talks with stand-up by bringing together local specialists and comedians to present on a topic of their choice. Come for the laughs and walk away with strange new knowledge – previous performers have regaled audiences with presentations about dinosaur rib anatomy, a principal component analysis of the Taco Bell Menu, nipple equality activism, what can be learned from watching 100 Hallmark movies, how to perform self-surgery, and much, much more. Past presenters span local entrepreneurs, professors, researchers, activists, union organizers, surgeons, engineers, and stand-up comedians with an itch to nerd out on stage.
