Theater

Hello, fellow car enthusiasts! The first event of the year for the new season will take place on April. Let's meet on the usual spot on 3rd floor (2nd floor if it rains) of the **Parking on the back side of Belle Ettoile.** Location: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/GDA5tbVxiFEMWqM59](https://maps.app.goo.gl/GDA5tbVxiFEMWqM59) Date and time: **Friday 17/04/2026 at 17.00.** Then, if we want, we can go for a coffee in the G.A.N.G. The purpose of this event is to bring together car enthusiasts to talk and show off vehicles, meet people, have a good time, and share tips. What to bring: A car, a friend perhaps and a positive attitude :) 🥤 Soft drinks will be provided Rules: Please be respectful of others and their vehicles. No reckless or dangerous driving will be tolerated. Please also be mindful of the parking rules and regulations.

The IMANY live concert seems to be a perfect reason to head towards Mondorf. An even better idea is to start the evening with a quick dinner in a good company, rather than just showing up for the concert. The plan is simple: meet over dinner, get to know each other in a relaxed setting, and then head to the concert together. And just to clarify: we’re not going there to gamble all night 😄 The goal is simply to enjoy a good dinner, great company, and IMANY’s beautiful voice. Agenda: The "table & talk" part of the event will take place at Purple Lounge at 19:00. It is a not-so-fancy restaurant inside Casino 2000. Full disclosure: I haven’t been there myself yet, but the menu looks convincing enough to give it a try 😄 19:15 - 20:30 - Dinner (everyone orders and pays individually) 20:30 - Head to CHAPITO together (inside the same complex) 20:30 - IMANY live concert (having your concert ticket beforehand is essential. Here's the [link](https://casino2000.lu/en/events/imany-17-april-2026/) for the tickets) * Please only sign up if you genuinely plan to attend, I’ll be reserving a table for the group * If your plans change, kindly update your RSVP in advance so someone else can take your spot * If you’d like to arrange carpooling, feel free to connect with each other in the event messages or comments

**You’re already getting up on stage. You’re writing. You’re performing. You’re grinding it out at mics.** But if you’re honest… some of those jokes could hit harder. Welcome to **The Tag Lab**, an accelerated, punch-up intensive designed specifically for comics who are past the “how do I hold a mic?” phase and ready to level up their material. This workshop zeroes in on the two things that separate solid jokes from killer bits: **1\. Finding the true kernel of your joke** We’ll strip your material down to its comedic engine, the sharpest, funniest core idea, and rebuild from there. **2\. Writing tags that stack laughs** Because one punchline is nice. Three punchlines? That’s applause breaks. You’ll learn how to: * Identify where your joke is ending too early * Add tags that feel organic, not bolted on * Heighten patterns without losing clarity * Tighten wording so every syllable earns its place This is not a beginner class. It’s for comics who are already performing regularly and want their existing material to punch above its weight. Bring jokes that are “pretty good.” Leave with jokes that consistently hit. If you’re ready to stop hoping for laughs and start engineering them, this workshop is for you. Participation is by advanced registration. Places are limited.

Finally realising that she's terrible with people, in 2022, she co-wrote a stand-up show and took it to Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This completely changed her life. She now only works part time in HR. Off-stage you will find Sharon VS gathering more material by raising a teenager in Germany. Sharon VS is a co-producer of Festrogen, the Luxembourg-based comedy festival for feminists of all genders, and a co-founder of Random Things Comedy Cologne, an inclusive open mic. **Mari Volar** is a comedian, MC and event producer from Estonia. She can often be seen on stage in various cities across Europe, where she performs as an independent comedian, or hosting comedy events with her various comedy collectives.

**Do you want to step up to the stage with more confidence, and less self-doubt? Are you looking to be in charge of your** **thoughts, emotions and behaviours? This workshop has just the answer.** Going up on stage and exposing yourself (pun intended) can be very scary. But also very empowering. And also triggering. But also liberating. And can for sure bring on some self-doubt: Am I good enough? Why should anyone listen to me? Doesn't everyone else know more than me? Isn’t everyone else funnier? And when you get of the stage, the questions keep popping in your head: “was it good?”, “I should have said it differently”, “what was I thinking?”, “were those pity laughs?” Your inner critic is always hard at work… A lot of emotions come up when doing stand-up. No matter if you are a beginner or a more experienced comedian, it can still bring about the dread of not being good enough, making a fool of yourself, and confirming your worst fears. But, it can also be a brilliant and almost therapeutic way to overcome self-doubt, self-sabotage, gain confidence and find that sweet spot where masks come off and you find yourself flying! In this workshop, psychologist Alexandra Neves will guide you through the following: * Impostor syndrome: the pattern in which a person doubts their skills, talents and achievements * and is afraid of being unmasked as fraud, an imposter. * Identify and bring into awareness your limiting beliefs and develop practical tools for * overcoming and releasing them. * How you can tame your inner critic, and use it to your advantage, in comedy and in life. * The masks we wear, and why we wear them. * And ultimately how to develop more self-confidence. These are all transferable skills that can positively impact your stage presence, but also your professional and personal life. Participation in this workshop is by advanced registration. Places are limited.
