New year, new Nerds. We hope you didn’t have the misfortune of missing our first Nerd Nite in over a year. That was back in February. Now it’s March, and there’s no excuse for not nerding out with us. We’ve worked out the technology. We’ve located the nerds. We’ve secured the venue (your house). Sadly, we still haven’t found a way to get you beer, but you’re capable adults so we believe in you.
Save the date for Nerd Nite 57: Home Edition Vol. 2 on March 25.
Join us at 7:30 pm on Fringe TV.
Pay what you want for your ticket at Fringe Theatre’s ticketing page.
We appreciate whatever you can offer, and if you are strapped for cash, we’ve got you covered!
