The Universe Is Absurd!

An Unscripted Evening with William Shatner and Neil deGrasse Tyson

Presented by FUTURE of SPACE
Following the acclaimed premiere at McCaw Hall in Seattle

A rare live appearance in Los Angeles.

Two legendary voices. One unpredictable evening.

William Shatner and Neil deGrasse Tyson come together live on stage for an unscripted evening of storytelling, science, philosophy, and humor.

When Shatner and Tyson share a stage, the conversation can go anywhere. Their chemistry – part intellectual sparring, part curiosity, and part bromance – turns every exchange into an unexpected journey. Stories unfold, ideas collide, and the evening evolves in real time, revealing moments of humor, reflection, and wonder that could only happen once.

Too Big for One Night

Two Shows. Two Parts.

Each evening features a completely different conversation and program. Because the event is unscripted, no two performances are ever the same.

Night One opens the conversation.

Night Two takes it somewhere unexpected.

Guests attending both nights experience the full journey as the conversation unfolds.

At 95, William Shatner continues to explore life’s biggest questions with the same curiosity and wonder that have defined his extraordinary career spanning more than seven decades. Still asking the questions that inspire generations, Shatner returns to the stage for a rare evening of reflection, humor, and discovery.

Appearing alongside him, Neil deGrasse Tyson brings clarity, wit, and perspective to the ideas that shape our understanding of the universe.

With only two scheduled performances in Los Angeles, this rare appearance may be among the last opportunities to experience William Shatner live on stage.

A limited number of exclusive VIP Experiences are available, including meet-and-greet opportunities and photo moments with William Shatner and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
