Jacob Funnell celebrates a damned fine moustache

We return in February with a packed schedule courtesy of the Brighton Science Festival, with two science dates (Thursday 9th and Thursday 23rd) packed with talks on hedgehogs, disasters, videogames and erm, custard!

A regular honest-to-goodness Catalyst will also be running on Friday February 24th. As always, the nature of these talks will be kept a closely guarded secret, known only to Dr Bramwell and a Nepalese mystic (whose identity is also a closely guarded secret).

The Catalyst Club has been selling out these last few months; we recommend getting your tickets in advance from the latest music bar website.

Our 100th Catalyst night on 8th December went off with a bang, thanks to an exploration of virtual reality and a rubber hand from Katie Genevieve, Matthew Jeffrey’s skilled reading of M&M lyrics, and Matt Rudkin who explained why Mother Theresa may have been a mutant.

As a Xmas present for everyone present, Mark Bennett kindly made a Ken Campbell inspired 4-hour DVD of alternative Xmas telly, all culled from youtube. Those who missed out can pick up a copy for free from Ecologicool on Sydney Street.

With the continued popularity of the night, we return on January 12th with plans to sell 65 tickets in advance from the link below and to make 30 tickets available on the night after 6pm. In the event of a sellout, the night will also be screened for free upstairs.

We’re also hosting a free ‘best of’ night in January for free which is being filmed for telly. For more details, join the mailing list…

Happy new year

Yvonne Luna tries the cold water treatment

November’s Catalyst was another busy one with a Brighton theme running through the talks. We learned how Yvonne Luna dealt with depression through a variety of unconventional and sometimes alarming means, finally settling on joining the Brighton Swimming Club who plunder the icy waters every morning at 7am, every day of the year!
Our genial host, Dr Bramwell talked about the history of Mail Art and mischief with the postal service (including his own exploits) while James Burt encouraged us all to go on a psychogeographical tour of the city to see it with fresh eyes!

December 8th will be our 100th official Catalyst Club (excluding our occasional excursions to London and Oxford) and to celebrate there’ll be a little party afterwards upstairs with a few nibbles, kindly provided by the venue.

After eight and a half years however, word has finally got out, meaning our last few night have sold out and people have had to be sent home empty handed to watch Eastenders and an ITV documentary about miniature ponies. Some of you have also been coming for years which means a lot to me and I’d hate to lose you to the dark side (i.e. Five Rhythms Dance Classes, hot yoga, improvised juggling workshops etc).
We’re not looking to expand just yet so for now, to guarantee entry, please book in advance from: www.wegottickets.com/event/139886 and all will be well in the world.
