Nerd Nite Chicago is One Year Awesome again! To celebrate, for one night only we’re becoming NNChiXL: Extra Lives.

We’re bringing in Extra Lives, the audience-driven choose-your-adventure video game concert experience, and we’re more excited than Archimedes in the bathtub!

DOORS AT 7:30
Audacious nerdery starts 8pm

The audience is the main character in this interactive RPG concert by Extra Lives, where live votes determine the course of an original story. It's fully narrated, animated and scored by the nerd-tastic band using classic video games. Here's a taste: https://vimeo.com/826516705

What is Nerd Nite?

It's Empricial Entertainment. It's the Discovery Channel live, in a very Chicago bar. It's a quarterly show of three short (10-15 min) hilarious/informative presentations on almost anything from Dracula ants to wimpy black holes, from the art of breadmaking to the history/science of, well, anything – if it's nerdy, it's fair game.

Want to Share Your Nerddom?

Got a burning desire to educate the masses about your obscure obsession? Know someone who needs a gentle push into the spotlight? Ju like a cozy motel chain, we'll leave port 22 open for ya. Reach out and claim your spot in Nerd Nite Chicago history!

Join us for an evening of using your brain to have fun (and optionally impairing it with alcohol)!

Be there and be square

Don't be too late! Seating is limiited at the Lincoln Lodge! Tickets not redeemed before 8:30 may mean someone else takes your seat. (In which case, refunds available upon request, naturally. We're not monsters.)
