Ryan Resilience Lab Tours
Are you curious about how we can live in harmony with nature and adapt to the challenges of climate change? Do you want to see how cutting-edge design and technology can create a resilient and sustainable urban coastal community? Do you want to learn more about the Elizabeth River Project and its vision for the future?
Join the Elizabeth River Project for a tour of our globally significant resilience model, the Ryan Resilience Lab. This state-of-the-art building showcases how we can protect both the ecosystem and humans as sea levels rise, incorporating replicable, environmentally sustainable design and construction.
The Ryan Resilience Lab is also the key anchor for the Eco-District, a collaborative effort to transform the northern part of Norfolk’s Colley Avenue near Knitting Mill Creek into an innovation corridor that fosters economic development, social equity, and environmental stewardship.
During the tour, you will get to see the inside and outside of the building, learn about its features and functions, and hear from our staff and volunteers about the organization’s work and goals.
The tours are free and open to the public, but space is limited and pre-registration is appreciated. Donations are always appreciated to support a healthy Elizabeth River. We look forward to seeing you soon!
If you cannot join us on our regular tour dates and times, or if you would like to arrange a special tour for your group, please reach out to Victoria Dunch at vdunch@elizabethriver.org.

The Jam! Presents: Y’all Means All: A Pride and Juneteenth Comedy Show
It’s time for a kiki of epic proportions. In June we celebrate Pride Month and Juneteenth. Come watch some of the most talented LGBTIA+ and Black comedians in Hampton Roads take the stage on June 19th at 8:00 PM! The show will feature improv comedy as well as stand up comedy featuring local icons Just Sonja and Jennifer Warner.

Second Saturday Stand Up Comedy
Once a month, your host and veteran comic (Hatton Jordan) invites a line-up of proven comics for a night of stand-up comedy at The Push Comedy Theater. Whether they try new material or just work the room with road-tested jokes, these comics will have you gasping for breath between laughs. With a typical line-up of about 6 comedians, this is the best budget-friendly stand-up comedy ticket in all of Hampton Roads.
Just to be clear, this is NOT an “open mic” and each month is a new, seasoned line-up. Hatton has had 30 years of experience in performing stand-up comedy in the Hampton Roads area. So he knows how to put together a great night of laughs. This show runs about 90 minutes long and does not have an intermission. Feel free to mindfully get up at any point during the show to refresh your beverage to take a bathroom break. The comics won’t mind one bit.
The Nascar Jones Show: Comedy Talk Show
A wild ride of a LIVE talk show in Hampton Roads!
Filmed LIVE at The Push Comedy Theater, The Nascar Jones Show walks a fine line between unscripted comedy and planned talk show shenanigans. With a one-word suggestion, the audience inspires the host, Nascar Jones, to give an opening monologue and the show follows the fun from there. Though the guests’ names are planned, no one knows anything beyond that. One night you may see the next up-and-coming musical act, another maybe your favorite pirate or even an almost-real athlete
This show is guaranteed to feature live music, secular sermons, fake commercials, and everything else you’d expect from a comedy talk show. And did we mention it? Aside from a bit of planning, no one has any clue what is going to happen next! Nascar Jones has made it his mission to bring fun, danger, and excitement back to late-night talk shows. Nascar delivers a deep and all-encompassing interview style that will make you LAUGH and CRY. But most importantly, THINK.
And if that wasn’t enough, Nascar Jones always ends his show with a daring game of “Lemme Talk 2 Ya Momma” or (even better) “Lemme Talk 2 Ya Ex”! It’s a wild night that will have you laughing until work on Monday.
