Bright Club is a public engagement initiative bringing together research communication and the performing arts since its inception in London in 2009. Bright Club Ireland was established in Dublin in 2015, and the distinctive combination of science and comedy has made it a unique event in the field of public engagement. This commentary explores why Bright Club was created, how it functions, and catalogues how the lessons learned from Bright Club Ireland might prove useful to science communication professionals working in international transdisciplinary environments seeking to bring science and comedy together at public-facing events.
