And don't forget...we'd love you to dress up in some minced-up fashion. We will be...

Bright Club Edinburgh 3.14 Minced

We had an accident in the comedy lab and things got all minced up so join us at the glamorous Voodoo Rooms on Tuesday 13 December for a festive party version of Bright Club!
Celebrate the joyous season of the carbohydrate coma and the sugar high as past Bright Club Edinburgh performers reorient their research-themed funny towards topics such as Santa, Christmas trees and carol singing. Come in good voice for what will be the most interactive show yet. The hilarious Susan Morrison will try to hold it all together.

In keeping with the theme of mincing and remixing, guests are encouraged to dress in the mash-up fashion of their choice - such as Medieval Eurovision, Baroquabilly or Steampict.

Doors at 7:30. Tickets, at most, £4 in advance from We Got Tickets or £4 on the door. www.wegottickets.com/event/​144318

Previous performances have all sold out so get your tickets early!
18+ due to venue restrictions (but also there will be some sweary words)
