Wednesday Skeptical Extravaganza!
Hosted by George Hrab, this one-of-a-kind stage show features the entire Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe cast in a fast-paced evening of mind-bending games, comedy, music, and brain tricks.
Expect a wild mix of:
- Improv comedy, music, and audience participation
- Dazzling demonstrations of how your brain can fool you
- Interactive trivia where you go head-to-head with the SGU crew
