​​Shane Mauss caught his first big breaks as an absurdest Conan, Kimmel, Comedy Central, Showtime and others. While touring he decided to use any free time explore his interesting science by interviewing scientists for his podcast ‘Here We Are’ where he has interviewed over 400 professors about evolution, the mind, and the meanings of life.

Science inspired a variety of themed one person shows giving Shane a style unique to American comedy. In 2016, the lifelong psychedelic and mental health advocate partnered with the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) on a 111 city psychedelic comedy tour during which a film crew followed him for the Amazon Prime documentary ‘Psychonautics: A Comic’s Exploration of Psychedelics’.

In 2023 Shane created his new multimedia ‘A Better Trip’ for a Vegas residency at the immersive psychedelic entertainment complex Area 15.

Having just recorded his two-part comedy special ‘Trips’ at the immersive art mecca ‘Meow Wolf’, Shane Mauss is coming back to OKC to debut his tour of the third part of the series at Bricktown.

On April 19th (Bicycle Day), ‘Trips’ will debut the first two installments of the stand-up series (on a platform we are thrilled to announce soon).

Come out to get a sneak peak at the third installment as he gets it ready to record next year.

In the meantime, check out Shane’s viral Comedy Central’s ‘Tales From The Trip’ videos to get a hilarious taste of what to expect.

We usually connect with local psychedelic organizations everywhere we go for an opportunity for audience members to connect more with members in their community and get more information about some of the most intriguing substances and experiences on earth.

Q:  Is prior experience with psychedelics necessary to enjoy the show?   

A:  No experience necessary! You don’t need to try psychedelics to enjoy the music and art that’s inspired by them.  In fact, it’s very common for people who have seen one of my past shows to come back with people who they have been trying to explain psychedelics to.  I’ve spent decades making the ineffable accessible.

Q:  Will you be on drugs while performing?   

A:  No. Although I come up with much of this material during experiences, there is nothing appealing about performing while tripping.  Why do psychedelics and go to work? What a waste of psychedelics.

Q:  Are you going to pass out psychedelics to everybody? 

A:  Umm NO. Obviously.

But if you come and support this kind of message, meet like-minded people at the show, and help keep the conversation going; maybe one day these outrageous drug laws will change.  I often have local meet-up groups and organizations join my meet-and-greet after the show so interested audience members can find more information and support in their area.

Q:  Should I come tripping?

A:  I’m not going to tell you how to live your life, but it’s not what the show was designed for. It’s not a Pink Floyd laser light show in a planetarium ;) (I personally I enjoy tripping in nature).

Stand-up comedy generally requires more of an attention span and this show is much smarter and more informative than typical stand-up. The show was made to integrate past experiences, learn while laughing, and inspire better future trips.

You will reflect fondly on this show during future experiences.

Q: What’s your favorite part about the show?

A:  I’ve done traditional stand-up full-time for nearly 20 years and various sciencey themed shows for 10 years.  I’ve performed nearly everywhere at every kind of venue and audience I can imagine.  The psychedelic audiences are always the best combination of friendly, smart, attentive, enthusiastic, and fun.  And sometimes I get to see strangers with this similar interest make new friends.  It’s a great community.
