[A stand-up & sketch comedy show]
For millennia, man has asked the question, how best can I complain about the arbitrary trivia of my day to day life, and still not seem like an impenetrable bore? Many have painted, many have journalled, and some have even tried therapy... To clarify, all of the above listed mediums work and like, well. In fact, if I were to recommend them from least to most effective, I would list them in precisely that order, personal preference, obviously, but Y'know by-the-by, not entirely disagreeable. Anyway! We've got tickets to sell, and thanks to the medium of stand-up comedy, Strife finds a way - Welcome, to Glurassic park.
Yes, we're aware this pun doesn't exactly work, but it's our 2nd to last show of the year, give us a break! And, Y'know, at this point if you're trusting in the comedic content of our shows *less* than the credibility of our one-off-show-title-puns, then our advertising wasn't really going to work on you anyway, now, was it? God you lot make me sick - just turn up! It's 3 quid, and we've even got the card machine back this time, so no excuses. Wednesday 26th of February, 7:30pm, Tennent's bar basement - be there.

Glasstic surgery - A Stand-up & sketch comedy show brought to you by GLASS:
Another year rolls by and another semester of studying to go along with it... but wait, what's this? Glasstic surgery?! Uh, there must be some kind of mistake- I didn't enrol for this! Is it mandatory? Will there be an exam? Heaven forbid a practical. I mean what's it even about, is it medical? Is it engineering? Oh god, well, whatever it is, it says there's only one in-person session for it, at tennents bar basement, at 7:30pm on Wednesday the 29th of January. Oh, okay, fair enough, it also says 'tell you friends...' alright, well, guess I have to, here goes nothin'

Do you find yourself trapped, under an immense sense of pressure as the weight of a thousand suns pulls you spiralling infinitely downwards, gasping for air without so much as a hope of escape?
You might well have considered these to be the symptoms of long-term academic burn out and fatigue, the protracted mental breakdown you've felt oncoming ever since you first learned the meaning of the word 'shame'... that, or you're falling into a black hole.
Either or, nothing a stand-up & sketch comedy night can make much worse, eh? Might even make things a little better, well unless you're actually in a black hole, but then you've got bigger things to worry about.
Anyway, it's £3, it's on campus, and it'll hopefully be quite funny, so, seeya there!
