**Kon-Tiki Comedy Tuesday!** Zurich's longest standing weekly Comedy Night : English Standup at Kon-Tiki Bar since 2018! **Tickets :** [https://shorturl.at/fgjmM](https://shorturl.at/fgjmM) Kon-Tiki Comedy has long become a staple of Tuesday Nights in Zurich! Veterans, regulars, amateurs & newbies from all around the world show up to make people laugh. This Comedy Open Mic is regularly Hosted by Ahmet Bilge. Kon-Tiki Comedy is the place for English Standup in central Zurich. Come join & laugh with us! **Early Show starts at 19:30 pm // Late Show starts at 21:30 pm** **Frequently Asked Questions:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Q: Is the show in English?** A: YES. Kon-Tiki Comedy is always in English. **Q: What's the difference of a Comedy Open Mic from a regular Comedy Show?** A: Anybody who wants can go on stage at a Comedy Open Mic. A bunch of Comedians will be there, but they will be trying out jokes, because this is how Comedians find out if something is funny or not, so you get to be there at the birthplace of jokes. Often Comedy Open Mics are more casual & but also funny as well! **Q: Can I perform Comedy also?** A: Yes of course! Just contact theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com if you're interested in performing. Or directly go to the event page on facebook & write "SPOT" inside the event discussion. You'll be confirmed later & will get 5minutes to start off with. Anybody can sign up! **Q: What about these seats?** A : We have enough seats for everyone but the first come first served rule applies! Especially since Kon-Tiki Comedy is popular, often it is packed inside, so come early for good seats. What's early? Anything before 19:00 & you will have your seat of choice. **Q : What about the late show?** Depending on the turnout a late show is also available most of the time, please check the ticket page to see if there is a late show option. Basically if you can buy tickets to the late show, it's happening, if it's not an option for a ticket it's not! Both shows might be consolidated into one if there's not enough ticket sold for the late show. In this case you will recieve an e-mail telling you so. **Q : Can I refund my ticket?** There are no refunds allowed because it becomes too much work for a simple Comedy Open Mic, so only buy your ticket if you know you're for sure going to be able to make it. But if for some reason you can't make it, you are welcome to use your ticket for any future Kon-Tiki Comedy Shows. Just write an e-mail to exchange. **Q : Can I buy tickets at the door?** No please don't. Technically we can but it complicates everything, so just buy them online. Just to persuade you NOT to ask to buy at the door: Tickets at the door are 15.-CHF. Please buy online : ) **Q: Will it be funny?** A : You betcha. You can't do a regular show since 2018 & not be funny. **Any other questions:** Email: theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com with the title "Kon-Tiki Comedy" But if it's any of the questions covered by the FAQ above, I will still answer it, *but first I will insult you.* **Legal Disclaimer:** Comedians may film their sets as well as the audience during the comedy show. By buying a ticket you consent to being filmed in this public space. If you ever have a problem with any clip published online you are very welcome to contact us & ask to have it removed, we are happy to accomodate you. Thank you for your understanding.

🏛️**Visita al Museo de Diseño (Toni-Areal)** 🎟️ **Entrada:** gratuita (a esa hora). Vamos a visitar el Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, Toni-Areal. El museo está dedicado al diseño, la comunicación visual y la arquitectura, con un enfoque actual y experimental. 📅 **Cuándo:** jueves 9 de abril 🕔 **Hora:** 17:45+ 📍 **Punto de encuentro:** entrada del Toni-Areal (parada de tranvía “Toni-Areal”). Subimos las escaleras y entramos al edificio. Estaremos esperando justo dentro, a la derecha, desde las 17:45 hasta las 18:00. Después iremos juntos al museo, que está al fondo del pasillo. ⏱️ **Duración:** aproximadamente 2 horas 🍻🎶 Al terminar, iremos al **Amboss Rampe** (cerca de HB Zürich), donde suele haber sesión de música jam y muy buen ambiente. ¡Nos vemos!

This weekend, Metal Night Vol. 8 at the Stadtchäller in Winterthur brings together three bands for an evening of hard rock and heavy metal in one of the region's most atmospheric underground venues. 🎶🖤 We will be going there together, not just to enjoy the music, but to support and cheer on our own **Alex**, who takes the stage twice that night, performing with both 13th Warbler and Shinra. Being the awesome artist and animal welfare champion that he is, he donates everything he earns from the event to animal welfare. He surely deserves an audience as cool as this group is. 😎✨ **More about the music:** **13th Warbler** is an operatic prog metal band from Zurich. Their music is a fascinating collision of heavy riffs, complex time signatures, and an 8-string guitar, all woven together with the soprano voice of their singer — theatrical, cerebral, and completely their own thing. https://13thwarbler.bandcamp.com/ **Shinra** is a Swiss modern metal band whose debut EP This Will Pass, released in 2025, explores themes of impermanence, consciousness, and the poetry of loss. https://shinra-metal.bandcamp.com/ **Upload**, hailing from Fribourg, is a relentless force in the heavy music scene, combining brutal intensity with haunting melodies. https://uploadofficialband.bandcamp.com/ **Tickets:** Tickets are available at the door for 25, or online for 20. It's recommended to buy online to guarantee your spot. https://eventfrog.ch/de/p/konzerte/hard-rock-heavy-metal/metal-night-stadtchaeller-in-concert-vol-8-7431815001181046120.html **The plan:** We meet at Zurich HB at 18.30 and take the train to Winterthur. Doors open at 19:30, so there's plenty of time to arrive and settle in before the first act takes the stage. Maybe you are a lifelong metalhead or have never set foot in a concert like this before. Regardless, this event is a chance to experience something new or familiar together, spend an evening with good people, and show up for someone in our community. 🌿🤘🖤

based on the Tzolkin day 9 Kawoq (Storm): Glyph (Kawoq / Storm):
Kawoq represents cleansing, renewal, and the powerful forces of nature that break stagnation and open the way for rebirth. Tone 9:
Tone 9 expands, completes, and lifts processes to a higher perspective, encouraging patience and the finishing of cycles. Energy of the day:
Together, they create an energy of transformative cleansing that pushes growth forward. It’s a day where emotional or internal storms bring clarity, helping you complete what has been in motion and emerge with renewed direction.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon
