User:Txlee1/Tim Lee (comedian)

Tim Lee is an American stand-up comedian living in southern California.

A biologist by training, he graduated magna cum laude from UC San Diego with honors in biology. He went on to complete his PhD at UC Davis. He spent years developing simulation and analytical models of population dynamics before becoming a comedian.

Tim has become an underground sensation with over 2 million views on his YouTube videos. Piggybacking that success, Tim took the show on the road selling out shows from Seattle to San Diego. Audiences hungry for comedy that is smart and funny flocked to the show. Lee's comedy uses scientific phenomena and tools to explain everything from the hair that collects on a bar of soap to how his standards drop rapidly with abstinence. His standard method of presentation, performing a "parady of a seminar" using visual aids and a laptop, quickly earned him the name "The PowerPoint Comedian."

Tim, who likes to perform comedy that makes people "think". , has performed for companies such as Johnson and Johnson, Genentech and Microsoft and at venues like the Venetian, the Punch Line and the Improv. He has been compared to comedian such as Brian Malow, who calls himself “earth’s premier science comedian,” and Norm Goldblatt, a physicist who performs standup on the side. He has worked alongside superstar comedians such as Dave Chappelle and Robin Williams.

Tim has made two commercials, one for the NHL with Jonathan Cheechoo and he is also the "Spare the Air" guy.
