Bright Club Wales

Bright Club Wales first started in November 2010 and has taken place at many of Cardiff’s hottest venues, most recently at Buffalo. So far, researchers from the universities of Cardiff and Glamorgan and from the National Museum have entertained the audiences with sets covering a wide range of subjects, from astronomy, to observing young men, to the importance of cherry pickers to communicating your research!

After a recent hiatus due to job changes and babies, we are in the middle of arranging a new set of event beginning in April and building up to an extra special Bright Club: Bodies at the Cardiff Science Festival in July.

If you would like to perform or help organise future Bright Clubs in Wales, please contact: beacon@cardiff.ac.uk or find us on facebook and twitter.

Bright Club blasted onto the Glasgow comedy scene in November 2011 with a sell-out show at The Admiral, hosted by ‘weegie comedy Godfather, Bruce Morton.  Since then, shows have continued to entertain audiences at both The Admiral and Scotland’s most famous comedy club, The Stand.  So far, researchers from the University of Glasgow and Strathclyde have waxed lyrical about a diversity of subjects, from crayfish, to criminology, to The Beegees!  After huge success at the Edinburgh Fringe, Bright Club is heading west to makes its Glasgow International Comedy festival debut this March.
