[it was interesting to attend this comedy standup (sic) show at our local (wonderful) museum]
“A stand-up comedian walks into a national park… It sounds like it could be the setup for a joke, but in 2023, Ben Miller became the first comedian-in-residence at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
He met with park rangers and took in an active lava lake in Kīlauea’s Halemaʻumaʻu Crater. Out of that experience came a one-hour stand-up comedy show about volcanoes he’s taken on a tour around the world….”
