What is NERDGASM?

From NERDGASM Deluxe December 2009 at Toronto’s Bathurst Street Theatre (LHP)

NERDGASM is a comedy experience that exceeds any regular club show to become an event of epic proportions. NERDGASM is unlike any other show in Canada in that it celebrates not only the icons of nerd culture, but also the nerd experience.

Gathering together some of Canada’s finest (and nerdiest) comedians for a night of esoteric, and intellectual humour, that typically can’t be found within a normal comedy club setting.

For a show this great, nothing less than a theatre would suffice.

NERDGASM has proven to be so exciting that in June Toronto’s NXNE Festival made it their first ever comedy show in the 16 year history of the festival.

In July NERDGASM’s own Gavin Stephens hosted The Constellation Awards Canada’s Annual Sci-Fi Awards for Film & Television at Polaris, Sci-Fi Convention, and in August NERDGASM will be appearing at Toronto’s FanExpo, and recording a DVD on Sunday August 29th at Toronto’s brand new Underground Cinema .

Then in October we’ve got two major events happening. The first on Sunday October 3rd, is Nerds For The Cure as part of CIBC’s Run For The Cure for Breast Cancer Research.
