“The First Annual Monster Science Awards” is the second installment of Monster Science First Thursdays - Reverend Matt’s Monster Sciences ongoing monthly show at the Bryant-Lake Bowl Theater. Reverend Matt – once called a combination of David Attenborough and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark in MPR – played by local comedian Matthew Kessen, is the star of “Reverend Matt’s Monster Science” (‘part science, part comedy, all monsters’), a multimedia series of deep studies of the lore of monsters, infused with comedy jokes. It has won Best Solo Show at the Tucson Fringe Festival twice, and Best of Minnesota at the 2020 MN Webfest. And it’s been called “effective, educational, funny, moving” by Cherry and Spoon, and Single White Fringe Geek said of it, “I could not stop grinning the whole time Rev. Matt was talking.”
