Ladies Comedy Club Night

Hi all, I hope you're well! Bill Nighy has been giving interviews about this Ireland-filmed movie over the past weeks, so let’s go to a screening with a Special Introduction in Lighthouse this Friday. **500 MILES (with Special Introduction) @6pm at the Lighthouse Cinema - Screen 3** Seating is unallocated [500 MILES | OFFICIAL TRAILER | BILL NIGHY | ONLY IN CINEMAS](https://youtu.be/M0pP7xKvFJ0?si=HnlsaR-GzabhA76Z) *“500 MILES is a poetic, life-affirming road movie and celebration of the human spirit that follows a broken family who are forced to come together when two young brothers run away from home.* *While their fighting parents (Clare Dunne & Michael Socha) tear their hair out with worry, runaways Finn (Roman Griffin Davis) and his live-wire younger brother Charlie (Dexter Sol Ansell) embark on an epic adventure from Yorkshire, over land and sea, to the Wild West coast of Ireland. With the free-spirited busker Cait (Maisie Williams) helping the young boys along the way, their destination is Dingle, County Kerry, and their estranged, beloved Grandfather (BAFTA-award winner Bill Nighy), who their parents haven’t spoken to since the fateful events of the previous summer.”* **Dinner afterwards:** I’ll book a table for dinner at Oscars Bar next door after the movie. If you wish to join us for dinner, please post a Comment to be included in the numbers. Numbers are limited. **Dining:** Note that they do not split bills there so it’s CASH ONLY again for this one, and there’s a 10% service charge on large table bookings.

📚Reading books and discussing them are two distinct experiences! Conversations about books and sharing insights help us better appreciate literature and enrich our lives. Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books we're currently reading or have recently enjoyed—whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader. There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬 It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests! ⚠️**Something Happened?** If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me. 🔍 **How to find us?** * When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group. * If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡 I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

All welcome! - See you in the Black Sheep, 61 Capel Street, Dublin for an evening of craic and chat. Caoimhghin (keeveen) 0878309001

Dear fellow Gaeilgeoiri, Cead mile failte / a warm welcome to this group of Irish language lovers and enthusiasts. Hope you will enjoy everything it has to offer and feel free to suggest new events, and, why not step in as an event organizer? What this group is not: - A group limited to those with perfect proficiency in the language, where any single word of English is banned, and where you will get corrected for every séimhiú that, God forbid, you might be forgetting What this group is: - A forum of Gaeilge enthusiasts willing to share their interest and love of the language. We all started learning a language, including our own, from scratch at some point in our lives. Absolute beginners are welcome and should not feel intimidated. Near perfect and native Irish speakers are also welcome to share their vast knowledge of the language. Hopefully this will create a thriving community of lovers of the language at any level.

**💗 One-on-One Speed Dating Online for Cincinnati Locals from Home — Live on Zoom** The format means you'll have back-to-back curated Zoom speed rounds with Cincinnati singles your age curated by personality quiz, as a friendly host guides every transition. Ahead of joining, a two-minute quiz captures your personality — your personality data from the quiz to give you a personally matched Cincinnati lineup, so you are not just talking to strangers but to matched locals. When it is all done, we send out mutual matches — so you only hear from someone if they chose you too — and you decide your next step from there. **Click your age bracket to register:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Cincinnati&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Cincinnati&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Cincinnati&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Cincinnati&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=55+&face_v=4.0) **⚠️ Please note:** Rsvping here does not hold your place in the event, so use the link for your age range, complete sign-up, and submit the personality questionnaire — numbers are intentionally limited so register early, and without both steps done your spot is not held. --- **This is for you if:** - Daters across Cincinnati fed up with swiping with nothing to show for it and are ready for a genuine first impression. - Residents in Cincinnati moving beyond shallow connections that never lead anywhere and prefer meeting people in person first. - Daters locally in Cincinnati looking beyond shallow connections that never lead anywhere and are after something more than a swipe can offer. **The Essentials** - **Format:** Hosted in a live Zoom room with personality-matched video rounds, matched thoughtfully by age and personality data throughout. - **Where:** At-home — from your desktop laptop or phone, the only requirement is a device with a camera and internet, and wherever you can focus comfortably is all that is needed. - **Host:** A seasoned host keeps it comfortable and on schedule throughout, so the evening runs without a hitch — all the structure and timing is entirely off your plate. - **Duration:** Usually wraps in around an hour and a half across all rounds, and most people wish it were longer. **How it works** 1. **Pick your age group** – using the link that matches your age bracket, then take the brief personality quiz, because registration closes once spots fill. 2. **Click into Zoom** – through the Zoom link provided after registration, browser-based so no special app is required, and the host introduces everyone and gets the rounds started. 3. **Speed date** – quick private video rounds with Cincinnati area singles in your age range, as the host signals round starts and ends, as the quiz results already did the work of choosing who you meet. 4. **Receive match results** – once the event closes we share mutual match results, since no information is ever shared without mutual agreement from both sides, and then the rest is yours to decide entirely. ⭐ *"Genuinely fun evening — worth every minute of the 90 it took"* – Cincinnati first-timer 💡 **Before you join:** get your lighting sorted ahead of time, so you can be fully present from round one, and once it is done you are completely set for the whole session. --- ✨ Short rounds with real Cincinnati locals — pick your age group and sign up and you are completely set in this round. You might be surprised what one evening can do. 🪷 ✨

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

**Our May novel is: *The Quiet Librarian* by Allen Eskens** **This month’s book is set in the 20th century and mixes historical fiction with suspense and thriller elements. It also centers on women’s stories and relationships. The novel is 368 pages in print or 8 hours and 12 minutes on audiobook.** Hana Babic is a quiet, middle-aged librarian in Minnesota who wants nothing more than to be left alone. But when a detective arrives with the news that her best friend has been murdered, Hana knows that something evil has come for her, a dark remnant of the past she and her friend had shared. Thirty years before, Hana was someone else: Nura Divjak, a teenager growing up in the mountains of war-torn Bosnia—until Serbian soldiers arrived to slaughter her entire family before her eyes. The events of that day thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legend—the deadly Night Mora. But a shattering final act forced Nura to flee to the United States with a bounty on her head\*\*.\*\*
