🧠 Nerd Nite Denver

Good news and bad news. Bad news: Nerd Nite is SOLD OUT. Good news: limited tickets may be available at the door — get there early and get on the list. 🤓🍺

This month: learn about the science of ovaries and menopause (turns out those symptoms weren't just anxiety), a Wilhelmina-signed model and microbial ecologist explaining why hot girls have tummy issues, the wild history of how Denver fought back against K*K control of city and state government in the 1920s, and the spontaneous emergence of Nicaraguan Sign Language from a Central American literacy campaign. TED talk energy, bar vibes, genuinely fascinating humans. ✨

🌹 EXPOSED [storytelling]

EXPOSED is an experiment in radical honesty — a traveling storytelling experience that has helped hundreds of people across the continent share what they're really carrying. These are the untold stories, the ones relegated to therapists' offices, now brought into the spotlight. Hosted by Juice the Trauma Clown, who weaves a live narrative between audience and performers, the show is designed to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.

Guaranteed to be the cheapest therapy you'll ever get, and it all goes to art and community. The earlier you arrive, the more engaging your experience will be.

🎻 Tonight: Armando Anto

Violin prodigy. Stand-up comedian. Absolute chaos.

Armando Anto was trained at the French National Conservatory — and then something snapped. Now he fuses haunting melodies with razor-edged comedy that is dark, daring, and dangerously funny. His act has traveled from Paris to New York, Iran to Texas, proving that music and political madness need no translation. One night only in Denver. No topic is off-limits.

Tonight! NYC-based multilingual comedian Santi Espinosa is bringing his ESPANGLISH tour to The Bug for a night of stand-up performed in both Spanish and English. With over a decade in comedy, Santi's style is honest, anecdotal, and personal — the kind that sticks with you. He's performed at the NY Comedy Festival in both languages, played sold-out clubs in London and Bogotá, hosted the wildly successful ItMatters Comedy showcase at New York Comedy Club, and his debut album Identity Crisis is streaming on Spotify and Sirius XM.
