On 27th October 2023, Dan Ridley-Ellis performed a stand-up comedy set for Bright Club St Andrews as part of Explorathon 2023 – talking about wood and trees.
Bright Club is a public engagement event unlike any other. Researchers, from all fields and backgrounds, take to the stage to perform short stand-up comedy routines about their work. Why? Because it’s fun, interesting, and genuinely useful. Comedy and research have a lot in common.
Dan was the lead organiser of Bright Club Edinburgh since 2011. Since 2020 (and the Covid lockdowns) there have been no regular shows, but in 2024 Bright Club Edinburgh is back at The Stand – with a new team in charge (Bekka and Kat). If you are interested in performing, there is a form to sign up to the mailing list. Normal sets are about 8 minutes and training is provided.
