Nik Narain is a science communicator who sings, performs stand-up comedy and does drag. He incorporates science into his art and also uses art to express his identity. Narain creates his own original music that he performs at open mic nights at local establishments in the Triangle. His comedy is a mixture of his personality and his academic background. As Narain develops his art, he grows his own roots in the queer community and in Durham.
