We love NERDIST. And in recent weeks, they’ve had to deal with a lot of negative press related to their founder Chris Hardwick (fingers crossed that everything there works itself out!). But the team at NERDIST isn’t letting it get them down — heck no! They’re bringing the whole NERDIST team and setting up shop in the Nerdist House for San Diego Comic-Con, located at Sparks Gallery (530 Sixth Ave) – Nerdist House will be open for all four days of Comic-Con, and includes special social hours and fan parties, live Nerdist shows, in-depth interviews and conversations, meet & greets, exclusive merchandise, photo opportunities, a VR experience, and much more! Plus, this event is FREE and open to the public with NO BADGE required to attend!
“Fans and attendees who stop by the Nerdist House will be treated with an in-depth looks at shows such as Geek & Sundry, and Alpha. As well as up close and personal conversations with honored guests, all live from the Nerdist stage. Fans will see their favorite shows come to life in Downtown San Diego, including live editions of Nerdist News Talks Back, Talkin’ Toons, Because Science, and more. Nerdist House attendees will have access to conversations with groundbreaking producer and YouTube personality, Adi Shankar of Bootleg Universe, as well as a special presentation of the Maltin On Movies podcast with hosts Leonard Maltin and Jessie Maltin alongside their guests from Cut Throat City, RZA, Shameik Moore, Kat Graham, and Terrence Howard.
In addition to live shows and conversations with creators, Nerdist House attendees will be able to test their space survival skills with a VR experience based on the sci-fi seriesSONA, created by Ashley Clements (The Lizzie Bennet Diaries). On Saturday night, Nerdist will also celebrate the 200th episode of the Bizarre States podcast with a party for fans, hosted by the show’s stars, Jessica Chobot and Andrew Bowser.
