Calling all Bright Clubbers!
Bright Club is an evening of stand-up comedy by scientists. After seven successful editions, we will host a aight science comedy night in Brussels on March 31st 2020.
After a short, yet intensive comedy training, you have three weeks to prepare an eight minute comedy set in English about your life and work in academia. On D-Day, you will perform alongside the other Bright Clubbers, comedians and a professional MC.

How does it work?
Step 1: You’re a researcher, preferably without a lot of stage experience
Step 2: You register using the form at the bottom of this webpage.
Step 3: We let you know whether you made it into the line up.
Step 4: You take part in the Bright Club training session.
Step 5: You have three weeks to prepare your comedy set.
Step 6: The big day! Before going on stage, you and the other Bright Clubbers take the afternoon to practice together with your coach.
Step 7: D-Day, H-Hour, Go Time at RITCS café!
Step 8: Bathe in the adoration of the masses. Bright Club is not a competition. There is no jury and there will be no prizes to hand out. Instead, you’ll go home with a warm glow of confidence in your ability to communicate succinctly, to the point and above all with humour about your work.
