Bright Club Dundee is back at Braes on Perth Road with new shows this Autumn. We’re looking for people from local Universities who would like to take to the stage and be funny about their research.

Take a look at the posts below to see past performers at our first show. These stand-ups are all from Scottish universities and with a little bit if support and practice, have created their own stand-up sets.

On the back of sold out shows in Dundee and Aberdeen, we’re looking for confident people who want to share the upsides and downsides of their work with the public.

Bright Club Dundee is off to Aberdeen for this year’s British Science Festival for a special one-off show.

We will be hosting a show from 8-10pm in the Spiegeltent on King’s Lawn at the University of Aberdeen on Wednesday 5th September.

A great night of stand-up comedy from the UK’s freshest comedy club. Compered by Susan Morrison and with sets from:

Kate Cross – She’s sex-obsessed
Pete Gwynne – An ongoing experiment
Gemma Flynn – Funny in theory
Dan Ridley-Ellis – Leaps from tree to tree
Karen Petrie – A lesser-spotted programmer
Chris Jefferson – Does computer-generated programming

And our very special guest – Eleanor Morton!

Here are more videos from the 8th November 2011 Bright Club Dundee #1 show. First class footage and sound!

The irrepressible Amrit Bhachu who opened the gig with such success. Contains strong swearing.

Here is a video of Chris Jefferson’s performance on the help his computer gave him when he was writing his stand-up comedy set.

The musical Zara Gladman and her story about invading crustaceans. Contains strong swearing.

The fantastic female programmer, Karen Petrie

And our final act the wonderfully talented Fiona Lethbridge. Mild swearing.

Advance tickets for Bright Club Dundee have now sold out!

We may have a few returns on the evening and if you would like to take your chances please come along to braes basement on Perth Road for 8:15pm. Show starts at 8:30pm.

For the lucky people with tickets, our doors open at 7:30pm. Why not make a night out of it and grab a meal upstairs at braes if you order before 7:00pm (sharp).

We’re pleased to announce the first acts for our Bright Club – Uploaded event on 8th November are:

Zara Gladman – zoo-lol-ogist

Fiona Lethbridge – beetle juicer

Karen Petrie – lesser-spotted programmer

Chris Jefferson – gaming historian

Helen Keen (compere) – science comedian

And more to come soon…..

We are very pleased to announce that the wonderfully funny Helen Keen will compere our first ever Bright Club Dundee on Tuesday 8th November.

We’re big fans of Helen since her performance of “The Primitive Methodist Guide to Arctic Survival” at last year’s Dundee Science Festival. You might have heard her adoringly quirky and offbeat “It is Rocket Science!” series that aired on Radio 4 in March 2011.

Helen will again be performing a gig of her new show “Robot Woman of the Future” at Dundee Science Festival on the same night and then hopping across the road to compere Bright Club!
