Tim Lee is hysterical. I laughed out loud for an hour and a half straight.

The delivery was very slow-paced and tedius. He referred many times to the fact that he had a PhD but I failed to see the connection between that and the performance. People other than PhD's have been known to produce Power Point presentations. Speaking of which--- with the focus of the performance being a Powwer Point presentation, I expected one with more sophistication. His was very boring and uncreative. Sorry--- I lOVED the concept of this poerformance but was pretty disappointed. I would never recommend it.

Quotes & Highlights

Description

Tim wasn't supposed to be a comedian. A biologist by training, he graduated magna cum laude from UC San Diego with honors in biology. He went on to complete his PhD at UC Davis. He spent years developing simulation and analytical models of population dynamics before he discovered that this bored him to tears. When he tried comedy for the first time the tears stopped.

Tim has become an underground sensation with over 2 million views on his YouTube videos. Piggybacking that success, Tim took the show on the road selling out shows from New York to San Diego. Audiences hungry for comedy that is smart and funny flocked to the show. Lee's comedy uses scientific phenomena and tools to explain everything from the hair that collects on a bar of soap to how his standards drop rapidly with abstinence.

Tim has performed for companies such as Johnson and Johnson, Genentech and Microsoft and at venues like the Venetian, the Punch Line and the Improv.
