Bringing together comedians, scientists, philosophers, and more, A Night of Humanism promises to be an evening of thought-provoking ideas and light-hearted entertainment. Hosted at The Glee Club Cardiff, this event offers an informal and engaging exploration of humanist thinking, with short, sharp 20-minute sets from each of our guests.
From science to ethics, history to humour, expect a mix of big questions, fresh perspectives, and plenty of laughs.
A fun and welcoming introduction to humanism, this lively evening blends big ideas with great entertainment in a relaxed, social setting. Whether you’re well-versed in humanist thought or simply curious, you’ll hear from fascinating voices across a range of disciplines. With a fully stocked bar and an atmosphere designed for enjoyment as much as insight, A Night of Humanism is the perfect way to explore life’s biggest questions – without taking things too seriously.
