In 2023, Miller made history as the first-ever stand-up comedian selected as an artist-in-residence at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Now, he’s bringing the heat to Dayton, combining laugh-out-loud humor with fascinating science, plus real stories from his time performing in front of an actual lava lake.

A veteran of top comedy clubs and international festivals, including a sold-out run at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Ben Miller blends stand-up, storytelling, and multimedia visuals to make science both hilarious and unforgettable.
Perfect for nerds, scientists, teachers, and the endlessly curious!

Recommended for ages 18+ due to suggestive (but not too explicit) content.

Join us as we celebrate Timothy’s 60th Birthday! We’ve got a whole evening full of fun events planned, but this celebration is all about YOU and honoring the countless memories that Flyers have made inside this bar over the years. Whether you’re reminiscing with old friends or making new memories, we can’t wait to share this special day with you. Come for the fun, stay for the good times, and let’s make this a birthday celebration to remember!
In 2024, Timothy’s proudly introduced our very first single barrel pick from Jefferson’s! This special selection was made not only to complement our wide range of bourbons but, most importantly, to offer something truly unique for our loyal customers. Handpicked from a selection of Jefferson’s Reserve small batches by a dedicated group of UD alumni from all eras, this barrel represents a perfect blend of tradition and craftsmanship. Once the bottling was finalized, we had the privilege of partnering with Warped Wing, one of Dayton’s award-winning breweries, to create a fresh, bourbon-infused beer.
We’re thrilled to unveil this exciting seasonal draft as part of our 60th birthday celebration on April 5th. Join us in Timothy’s second-floor lounge, Double 18, to experience this one-of-a-kind bourbon beer—brewed from our very own Jefferson’s Reserve barrel right here in Dayton by Warped Wing Brewing Co. We can’t wait to share this new creation with you!
Warped Wing Brewing Co. is a brewery driven by innovation – rooted in Dayton’s legacy of invention & fueled by a passion for craft. Inspired by the Wright brothers’ groundbreaking “wing warping” technology – Warped Wing pushes boundaries with bold, imaginative brews that honor the past while shaping the future. Since 2014, the brewery has been crafting award-winning beers & sharing Ohio’s rich stories through every pour. With four unique restaurant taprooms in southwest Ohio – Warped Wing brings great beer, delicious food, & a vibrant community together – one pint at a time. Share a pint, make a friend.”
The doors open at 4pm and we’ll have Eric & Lou Class of 92’ live from 5pm-7:30pm in the Double 18 Lounge. Tim’s will open at 9pm and DJ Lowkie will be here to close down the bar bringing those Dayton 2 Daytona pool deck vibes one more time before you all see him in Daytona. Come try our new draft beer with Warped Wing and share some memories you’ve made. Calling all Alumni from near and far to join in the celebration. 60 years wasn’t possible without you!

🚨 On Saturday, April 5th, Dayton @5pm we’re going to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! 🚨
Courthouse Sq. This a visibility event for those who can’t make it to the main Xenia Ohio event
This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.
A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
