How to Kill a Mouse: The debut comedy show from a scientist reconciling her personal life with her professional one. Alex Berr spent her adolescence studying a rare form of brain cancer; years later her mom was diagnosed with the same form of rare cancer. Reflecting on a life dedicated to science, Alex uses humor to process her mom’s death, while hoping for moral absolution for all the mouse casualties along the way. A deeply personal, funny, and at times absurd look at grief and the human side of science.
Alex Berr is a comedian based in Virginia. While earning her PhD in Biomedical Engineering in Chicago, she started performing comedy and founded the sell-out science-comedy show, Uncontrolled Variables. She recently moved back to the US from London, where she was nominated for the 2023 Funny Women Award and the 2024 BBC New Comedy Awards.
