Ever wondered what goes on in the University of St Andrews? Bright Club brings current research to the stand-up comedy scene.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Bright Club is the place where public engagement and stand-up comedy collide. Academics and researchers - most of whom have never done comedy before - take to the stage to perform an 8 minute routine about their area of expertise. Following successes in Edinburgh, Dundee and other cities around the country, Bright Club is coming to St Andrews.

Bright Club St Andrews V: Up All Night to Get Ducky

Our first birthday show is rapidly approaching!


Come along to Sandy's Bar (ground floor of the student union, accessible from the main bar) on Wednesday 4th March for a fabulous lineup of academicomedians.

We have the rather excellent Susan Morrison returning to MC for the evening, back for the first time since she hosted our very first show back in February 2014.

We also have these funny folk talking about their work for you:

Stephen Dnes - Lawyering 101
Karen Petrie - Lesser Spotted Coder
Maneesh Kuruvilla - Rate Me
Kate Cross - Emails of the Specious
Suzanne McEndoo - Quantum Computer Says No
Andy Todd - Tax It or Eat It?

Come along at 19:30 for a 20:30 start. Tickets are available from http://bit.do/BCStA5 for the bargain price of £5 (+ the unfortunate 50p booking fee of doom).

See you there!

Quack quack,
Duckie
