The Ocean Hates You! with Forrest Shaw
Forrest Shaw, former marine biologist turned comedian, gives a voice to the ocean—and trust me, it has some things to say. The Ocean Hates You! dives straight into pollution, overfishing, climate change, plastic, and all the many ways humans have managed to trash the most important ecosystem on Earth. Through a mix of stand-up, honest perspective, and a healthy dose of dark humor, Forrest breaks down how we got here and why the ocean has every right to be annoyed. But it’s not all doom. There’s still extraordinary life hanging on beneath the waves, and there are real actions—at both personal and community levels—that can slow the damage and even start reversing parts of it. Participation starts right at the beginning of the show with trivia and other fun surprises woven into the night. Come laugh, learn, and walk out feeling a little more in awe of the ocean… and more aware that while it may not be our biggest fan, it’s still worth fighting for. Forrest Shaw spent over a decade as a marine and environmental biologist in Florida, working for Miami-Dade County, where he led the Manatee Protection Program and managed large water-quality and habitat-monitoring projects throughout the region. His fieldwork spanned seagrass communities, coral reef habitats, and sea turtle nesting, and he frequently collaborated with state and federal agencies on critical coastal ecosystem studies. As a comedian Forrest has been featured at Netflix Is A Joke Fest, Just For Laughs Montreal, and Moontower Comedy Festiva. He’s performed on Conan, Live At Gotham, and Jim Jefferies and Friends and his debut special, Poor Decisions can be seen on Amazon.

Join Tim for an evening of tales that will make you laugh, shared from a lifetime of experiences working with true greats like Bob Hope, Jackie Gleason, Lucille Ball, and Anne Bancroft, to John Belushi, Chris Farley, Reba McEntire, Jane Seymour, Steven Spielberg, and Aaron Sorkin. This evening will be filled with rarely seen photographs and videos from Tim’s personal collection, as well as a Q&A session at the end.
