Gloucester Road WI

The WI for Bristol's most interesting and independent high street. Meeting the 3rd Tues monthly.

17 May: Comedy night with the fantastic Angie Belcher

Angie Belcher is a stand-up comedian, performance poet and actor. She’ll be coming along to give us her stand-up routine plus we’ll get to hear how she got into comedy.

Plus we have our usual WI business to catch up on including NFWI Resolutions, June’s DDG event, and an update on our clubs.

We will start at 8pm, but you can come along from 7.30pm to grab a drink. Please don’t come along any earlier as we are not usually ready and you may be required to help set up!

In this talk he will describe research in psychology that attempts to explain how our minds can come to hold some very odd beliefs.
