About David Epley
Doktor Kaboom is the explosive alter ego of actor, comedian, and award-winning science educator, David Epley. Part Mr. Wizard, part Mr. Rogers, David has spent nearly 20 years proving that "serious" science can be seriously funny, and deeply empowering.
What began in his parents’ basement (on the condition that he cleaned it first #smartparents) evolved into a lifelong mission to use science and comedy as vehicles for teaching character, kindness, and confidence.
David’s foundations are built on rigorous study at the prestigious North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics and university level research in chemistry and biomedical engineering. By fusing this technical expertise with specialized training in improv and character comedy, he has created an "edutainment" style that is unmatched in its ability to inspire.
As Doktor Kaboom, David has performed more than 2,500 live shows for over two million people worldwide.
A veteran of the US Army and a former firefighter/EMT, David brings a deep rooted sense of service to his craft. He currently resides in Seattle with his wife, Annie, and maintains a proud (if long distance) commitment to their two amazing daughters.
