Description
Give a nerd a microphone. Set a timer. Learn something cool!

Show & Tell for Grown-Ups invites enthusiasts and experts to sign up for their slot to tell us why something is cool. We host the show live onstage and have Q&A with the audience! After two years of meeting cool nerds all over Chicago, we're here at iO for our Monthly Showcase of Chicago's Coolest Nerds every 3rd Wednesday of the month!

We're an introvert friendly show! No one is forced to participate, but if you're interested, we do have audience participation parts.

The topics and presenters are different every show. What stays constant is that it's a night of having fun, learning something, and making friends. We can't wait for you to join us! Check us out on Instagram @tellmewhyitscool_show for topic previews, show recaps, and more.
