Testimonials
Evan performed at the annual ECU Economics Fundraiser and Awards Banquet. Great show, super funny and smart! Love how he brought humor to the dismal science.
Tisha Emerson
Economics Chair, East Carolina University
While planning the Kansas Data Science Conference, I wanted attendees to experience something beyond traditional technical talks something geeky, funny, engaging, and memorable that would bring the community together in a different way. Evan absolutely delivered that vision. From the moment he started with his jokes and stories, the room came alive! His session became one of the highlights of KDSC 2026. He blended humor, storytelling, and data science in a way that made concepts genuinely enjoyable for everyone in the audience.

Assistant Professor, Kansas State University
He is super funny, and at the same time knows how to make the connection between real data science and all kinds of absurd real-life situations. Being so fluent in the data science language allows him to really connect with the audience. The whole conference felt different after his show. There is no doubt that Evan was the highlight of the event. 10 out of 10.

Professor, Kansas State University
Who would have thought humor and data science go hand in hand? Well, look no further cause Evan Wimpey is THE data science comedian! He not only provides an educational and fun comedy routine but also tailors it toward your specific target audience! If you're into data and need a good laugh, Evan's show is a must-see!
Susan Chen
Academic Program Manager, Institute for Advanced Analytics
Evan was genuinely funny and the data humor was spot on. What made it work is that he actually worked as a data analyst and later as a director — you could tell he knew exactly what he was talking about, and that made the jokes hit even harder. At one point my colleague was laughing at me because I was laughing so hard. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Senior Continuous Improvement Lead, City of Sugar Land
Evan was the featured comedian for nearly 400 people from over 30 countries at our international forecasting conference. The audience loved his routine because his jokes were specific to forecasting topics such as trends and seasonalities.
Matthew Schneider
Program Chair, International Symposium of Forecasting
Evan was eager to customize the show to work with my specific audience. Loved the faces of students hearing a few insider jokes!

Very witty and entertaining. I highly recommend it!
Nic Herndon
ECU Computer Science Graduate Program Director
Evan Wimpey was wonderful (and fun!) to work with both in the lead up to and during our 2024 Analytics Conference. He helped to introduce the plenary speakers for both days of our event and structured his content to the unique interests of our audience. Our attendees thoroughly enjoyed his addition to our conference lineup and I highly recommend including him in your upcoming events or conferences!
Ashley Kilgore
INFORMS Communication Manager
I was worried his jokes wouldn't land with a general audience, but I was wrong. The crowd was mixed between people with data backgrounds and people without, and his material worked for both. He was also straightforward to work with. No headaches, just showed up and did his thing. Would definitely bring him back for another event.
