Bright Club is a stand up comedy night where scientists talk about their research in a seriously funny way. The first Bright Club Brussels took place October 15th, 2015, at Rits Café Brussels. Different researchers took their chance to seize the stage and entertain the audience with a series of scientifically sound jokes. And with succes! Maybe they felt the force was with them: they were supported by Bright Club instigator and British stand up comedian Steve Cross, and our national science comedy treasure Lieven Scheire added to that support by being an excellent MC.
