Bright Club kicks off 2016 in Cambridge this Thursday at the Portland Arms
Six years ago in London a regular comedy night was born, one that asked academics to leave their libraries, stand up and entertain the public. Since then, Bright Club has spawned offshoots across the country, one of which is Cambridge’s own regular night at the Portland Arms. As you’d expect, with Cambridge’s abundance of nerdy talent and rich pool of academics to rope into being stand-up comedians for the night, Bright Club has been a roaring success in our city, and it kicks off its 2016 run on 7 January.
It’s not restricted to comedy though. Blending music, art, new writing, science and performance, these gigs always offer totally engaging nights, in which anything that can happen on a stage will happen. From students to world-class academics, it’s a night for the nerds that mustn’t be missed.
Bright Club kicks off at 8pm on 7 January at the Portland Arms. Tickets £7.
