Ideas & Laughter: Live Talks From Experts + Stand-Up Comedy

Stand-up comedy meets fascinating lectures by professors or experts - drinks, conversation, and live audience Q&A in a relaxed bar setting.

Laugh & Learn is a live event where stand-up comedy meets interesting lectures - all inside a relaxed bar setting.

The night kicks off with stand-up comedy to warm up the room, followed by a short, engaging talk from a professor or expert on a topic that makes you think, laugh, and see things differently. We wrap with live audience Q&A and open conversation.

No lecture halls.
No exams.
Just curiosity, laughter, drinks, and good people.
