The Bright Club comes to the Guildford Fringe for the first time. William Gadsby Peet discusses comedy and science in a quick-fire Q&A
- What is the Bright Club?
Described as ‘the thinking person’s comedy night’, Bright Club is an event that transforms academics into comedians with highly entertaining (and surprisingly educational) results.
- How did it come about?
Bright Club was started by Steve Cross and Miriam Miller in 2009 at University College London. Surrey University have hosted Bright Club events for several years, but this is the first time Bright Club will be part of the 2018 Guildford Fringe.
- What can we look forward to at The Fringe?
An eclectic mix of Surrey academics sharing the humour in their research, singing mathematical comedian Kyle Evans and Bright Club founder Dr Steve Cross holding the MC comedy reins.
- Cool science fact…
The Moon is drifting away from the Earth by almost 4cm a year.
