Stuff You Should Know Live at Paramount Theatre Seattle

Stuff You Should Know 2026!

Curiosity seekers, trivia lovers, brainy besties, and all-around fact-hungry humans — gather ‘round, because we’ve got a night that’s about to blow your mind in the most delightfully nerdy way possible. It’s official folks - we are starting off the year right and making sure we make the night one of the best when it comes to your trivia game answers at your favorite bar for the rest of the year long. That’s ‘cause on Wednesday, January 28th, our home here at the Paramount is turning into the ultimate club…. for lifelong learners of course. Why?! Because we’re bringing the Stuff You Should Know show to the stage for a full taping right here at the Theatre!! That’s right! Josh Clark and Charles W. “Chuck” Bryant — the duo behind one of the most hilariously brilliant and researched podcasts are pulling up to teach us something new, make us laugh, and dive deep into the mysteries of… well, literally anything! And we’re oh so glad to have you here for it all! 

SO - let’s be honest: we’ve ALL fallen down a SYSK rabbit hole at 2AM it feels like. Learning about the invention of the bikini, how chaos theory works, the science of laughter, the history of Ouija boards, or what exactly happens inside a black hole, then you already know how magical this show is. Since its launch in 2008, Stuff You Should Know has racked up billions of downloads, changed the face of educational podcasting, won so many awards and has had global tours to top it all off (like this one!), and earned a loyal fanbase that spans generations and continents across time. And at the center of it all? Two friends  who make complex things feel cozy, fun, accessible, and oh so cool - because it’s the 2020s, who said being a nerd wasn’t cool?! So for their premier live show here?! Expect unexpected twists in history and science. Expect Chuck to throw in that perfectly timed anecdote. Expect Josh to drop a fact so wild the entire room goes silent for a second. Expect to learn something you didn’t know you needed but actually probably wanted. And yes - expect to leave feeling smarter, lighter, and to look over to your unknown neighbor and say “wow - who knew?!”. 

So Seattle — are y’all ready to nerd out with us for the one time?!? Grab your tickets, bring your friends, bring your fun facts, and let’s spend a night together figuring out… well… stuff you should know! See you at The Paramount real real soon!
