You can also get a feel for how it works - the different ways performers have blended the funny and the interesting - and the huge range of topics covered - you can also check out the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/BrightClubEdinburgh/playlists">videos on YouTube</a>. Some of these have gone a lot further than the audience on the night.</p><p>At time of writing:</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/GnpcMCW0RUA?si=JVN2ZiGZ0zzD0PtS">Philip Wadler's performance on computability has 12.5 thousand views</a> (yes, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Wadler">that Philip Wadler</a> so you know it's all correct)</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/IcMYfPE4kvo?si=1FmHU_x_duKt9A0P">Jenny Wood's performance on town planning has 2.8 thousand views</a> (Jenny is now co-director at <a href="https://aplaceinchildhood.org/meet-the-board-jenny-wood/">A Place in Childhood</a>)</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/Pw6CPFqvm7Q?si=q9w8addIiXPwl4I_">Gianfranco Matrone's performance on zebrafish breeding has 2.3 thousand views</a> (Gianfranco <a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/i-thought-my-stutter-meant-i-couldn-t-be-scientist-i-was-wrong">wrote about overcoming his fear of public speaking here</a>)</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/_9cT2qGAjgY?si=GjmNHAkQzOJyvBb9">Robbie Cooper's performance on testicular cancer has 1.6 thousand views</a> (<a href="https://www.theskinny.co.uk/music/opinion/in-tribute-robbie-cooper-1977-2014">RIP Robbie you fucking eagle</a>)</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/nuHH_y_7lZA?si=cDHFmgwcwIeNoJBE">Zara Gladman's performance in the very first Bright Club Edinburgh has 1.5 thousand views.</a> (You might now Zara better these days as <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@zaragladman">Glasgow west end mum</a> on the TikToK)</p><p>As of 2024 Bright Club Edinburgh is led by Bekka and Kat - academics at the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Napier University. A huge thanks from me - "the bit of Bright Club Edinburgh that is called <a href="https://blogs.napier.ac.uk/cwst/bright-club/">Dan (Ridley-Ellis)</a>" to everyone who has performed over the years and come to the shows. I suppose we <i>could</i> have done it without you, but it would have been really weird and awkward. Huge thanks to everyone that helped organise shows - especially Robin Andrews and Andy MacLeod who have been behind the curtain since the start and the team at the Edinburgh Beltane Beacon for Public Engagement that <a href="https://brightclubedinburgh.blogspot.com/2011/07/first-bright-club-tuesday-26-july-doors.html">started it all off in Scotland</a>. Thanks also to Sarah West-Alin who created the iconic duck that has spread far beyond Edinburgh.</p><p>Psst… we are offering our first training session for Bright Club 2024 on Sunday 14th Jan, 3.30-6.30pm at The Stand, Edinburgh!</p><p>Come along to this taster session to tread the boards, hear from veterans about the Bright Club experience, and get tips on finding the funny, managing stage fright, and microphone technique.

We are Bekka and Kat, academics at the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Napier University. HUGE thanks to the OG Dan Ridley-Ellis for his hard work and inspiration over the years!</p><p>Bright Club is about people doing stand-up on a specialist area of knowledge. The content doesn't have to be academic - but we look for something outside the norms for stand-up comedy. We look for that blend of funny and interesting that our audience comes for.</p><p>The next show will be on Wednesday 31 January (The Stand, York Place, Edinburgh) with other shows on 28th February and 24th April.</p><p>Performing involves being available on the night of the show (yes, we are surprised we need to say that, too), including quick rehearsal before the show (from about 6pm). Usually we are looking to fill sets of about 8 minutes in total, meaning you should prepare about 5-7 minutes of material. </p><p>FANCY SHOWING US THE FUNNY OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?

Apparently there are not enough things in the Edinburgh Fringe, so Bright Club has to come back and do another show at the BBC venue.<br />
<br />
18:30 Sat 12 Aug 2017 BBC Blue Tent<br />
This pun fact show is an academic comedy cocktail synthesised for your entertainment and enlightenment, blending comedy and research to create the rarest jokes. So come and laugh along as interesting, funny people share gags and silliness about what they know best – their own work.<br />
<br />
We think the BBC is giving tickets out at the tent now - and that it is also worth turning on the night to see if you can get tickets<br />
