A Better Trip Live Tickets

A Better Trip Live is a one-of-a-kind immersive psychedelic comedy experience co-created by award-winning comedian Shane Mauss and visual artist Michael Strauss. Blending stand-up, storytelling, live visuals, and science commentary, this multimedia tour brings the Vegas AREA15 residency vibe to stages across the country. Expect a visually rich, thought-provoking show that pairs humor with science and striking visuals for a unique night out.

Born from a 2023 AREA15 residency, the show positions itself as a touring multimedia experience, delivering live visuals that complement sharp, insightful comedy. On stage, Shane Mauss shares his signature observational humor and curiosity, while Michael Strauss crafts dynamic visuals that respond in real time, creating an immersive atmosphere you won’t forget. The duo has occasionally welcomed guest appearances, including Myq Kaplan, adding fresh perspectives to select markets.

Upcoming tour highlights include at least two City Steam at River performances in Hartford, CT (July 26, 2025 and August 1, 2025). While dates and guests can vary by market, you can count on a consistently engaging show that melds science-friendly storytelling with high-energy humor. The project has also inspired live recordings, such as a Michael Garfield collaboration featuring a live album captured at Jean Cocteau Cinema, illustrating the project’s broad creative footprint.
