Bright Club

Bright Club is a collection of comedy-club-style events in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia promoting public engagement by scientists, academics and others with specialist knowledge.

[2] Every event has a number of speakers, normally university researchers, each of whom gives a short, funny talk related to their area of knowledge and a theme for the night.

[6] The Centre for Life in Newcastle upon Tyne launched their first Bright Club in July 2011, hosted by their Comedian in Residence, Helen Keen.

[16] Bright Club Oxford began in October 2013, running three times a year at the Jericho Tavern pub.

Bright Club St Andrews began in February 2014,[17] running bimonthly during university term time.
