...thankfully doesn't stay there, because it's pretty damn funny. Husby and I were tempted to stay up long past our bedtimes to accompany one of his fellow lecturers to Bright Club's show at The Stand Comedy Club on York Place. Bright Club isn't your regular night of standup--the comedians are all academics: students, postdocs, or lecturers who somehow manage to make environmental economics, peace studies, and 18th century French nuns funny, even for us normal non-academic folk. No, it's not easy, but it's hilarious. And I have to hand it to everyone who performed: being funny in general is difficult, but being funny about complicated subjects in front of a crowd is pretty daunting, even for a professional. Well done, everyone! The laughs were plentiful, the crowd appreciative, and the candies they put on all the tables were a nice touch--nothing like getting us all hopped up on sugar before the show!
