Kasha, a former NASA scientist with degrees in chemistry and
science journalism, draws from her extensive scientific experience to create
smart, accessible comedy. She has published research in journals such as Astronomy
& Geophysics and Inorganica Chimica Acta, and shared her insights in the
TEDx talk “Sneaking Science into Stand-Up,” where she revealed surprising
findings from analyzing more than 500 of her own jokes.
Her work has been featured on NPR, BBC World, the Travel
Channel, the Science Channel, and The Weather Channel, and she even hosted a
miniseries on NASA TV. Whether she’s exploring the mysteries of the universe or
poking fun at everyday life, Kasha brings a blend of clever humor, interactive
elements, and genuine curiosity to the stage.
This is more than comedy — it’s an engaging journey where
science and laughter collide, leaving audiences inspired, entertained, and
seeing the world through a fresh lens. Perfect for families, students, and
anyone curious about how fun science can be!
