After four years of successful shows, Bright Club Newcastle returns to The Stand on 2nd February at 8.00 pm, and we need academics/researchers from the North East to perform.

Each event is compaired by a professional comedian, with academics and researchers taking to the mic to talk about their subject in a light-hearted and entertaining way.

Training is given to help tailor your material to a comedy audience. This training will take place on 19th January, 12.00-3.00 pm at The Centre for Life and will be run by a professional comedian and science communicator (and previous Bright Club act) Duncan Yellowlees. If you decide to brave the stage and perform there will be further opportunities to rehearse and fine tune your set.
