The Minority Report
The Minority Report is a weekly stand-up comedy show about identity, culture, and the expat experience.
Are you a minority in Europe? Did something weird, awkward, or low-key offensive happen to you this week?
This is the space to vent your feelings about it.
Every week, comedians Bryan Lee and Moe Singleton take the stage to unpack life as outsiders, offering their unique commentary on topics like race, masculinity, relationships, and life between cultures.
Add weekly special guest comedians and âquestion timeâ with the audience, and youâve got Berlinâs most unhinged comedy experience.
đď¸ Want to warm up before the show?
Check out our comedy workshop â a beginner-friendly stand-up class with Bryan and Moe, hosted just before the show.

Sprachklub fĂźr Russischlernende Nr.120
Der Sprachklub bietet einen Raum, um Russisch in entspannter und freundlicher Atmosphäre zu sprechen. Die Treffen ermÜglichen nicht nur, vorhandene Kenntnisse zu festigen, sondern auch den Wortschatz durch lebendige Gespräche und spannende Themen zu erweitern. Hier hat jeder die MÜglichkeit, neue interessante Menschen kennenzulernen, eigene Erfahrungen zu teilen, und mehr ßber die russische Kultur zu erfahren.
Das Treffen des Sprachklubs wird dem Tag Russlands gewidmet, der am 12. Juni gefeiert wird. Die Teilnehmenden erwartet eine virtuelle Reise durch verschiedene Regionen Russlands, darunter der Goldene Ring, Karelien, der Kaukasus und Altai. Mithilfe kreativer Aufgaben lernen die Gäste die Geschichte, Traditionen und Natur jeder Region kennen, entdecken die besonderen Lebensweisen der Menschen und erfahren interessante kulturelle und historische Fakten.
Classic RosĂŠs - the best pink wines of France
Itâs time to think pink again, as the weather improves and the long warm evenings scream for a cold glass of fruity freshness.
But rosĂŠs are not just frivolous summer tipples. The best examples are world class, due to the history of the regions, geography of the landscapes and technical innovations going back centuries.
Letâs learn all about it as we taste some of the best bottles in France (and by extension, the world):
Clairet from Bordeaux â the OG
Tavel - the only specialist rosĂŠ AOC in France
Bubbly from Alsace
Loire Valley â the spiritual home of rosĂŠ
Provence â the more recent standard-bearer
Languedoc â the new pretender
As well as these classics I have a randomer as usual to liven things up.
I maintain that pink wines are great with food, so Iâll supply some dips, seafood, cheese and other snacks to prove it!
This really is the last word in rosĂŠ wine tasting, so I hope to see you there.
Cheers, Sean

**Nďťżeukolln's favorite (by popular vote) comedy club East-West Comedy presents the new, topical show all about love & dating f\*ckups! In Berlin, you don't know who to hate the most: emotionally dead weirdos you meet online, people who refuse to pay the asking price for your feet pictures on OnlyFans, or the smug, preachy couples they form when they find each other. Is there any actual hope? Nah. But there are funny stories to tell to your closest friends (or to a room full of drunk strangers for money). 4 experienced comedians from USA, UK, Europe, Asia and more, will possibly kill your last remnants of hope - but promise you'll have helluva fun in the process.**

Mt Kilimanjaro Trek! One of the 7 Summits. Join us on this bucket list adventure
**Our Meetup is off to another hiking adventure! Mt Kilimanjaro, as the tallest mountain in Africa, is included in the 7 Summits of the world.**
**It is a bucket-list item for all hard-core hikers and mountain lovers.**
We did this trek with Meetup in the summer of 2024 and it was a true experience of a lifetime (see photos below)
Let's get to some numbers. It is 5,895m/19,340ft
BUT . . . our starting elevation for the trek is 3795m/12541ft
As such elevation gain is 2100m/6799ft
To compare Everest Base Camp trek, is about 2754m/9035ft elevation change. And Mt Whitney is about 1828m/6000ft elevation change.
The key to being able to succeed in this endeavor lays in the route and the support system.
We are taking the Lemosho Route via the Northern Circuit. The Northern Circuit route is the longest and newest of the seven established Kilimanjaro routes. It's one of the best routes because it has the best acclimatization profile. This results in one of the highest summit success rates. Add to that stunning views, and comparatively relaxed pace. It is also much less crowded than the other Kilimanjaro routes.
As far as our support system: We will be accompanied by experienced guides, porters and cooks. They are certified, ensuring our safety and comfort. Porters will carry our gear.
We will have a high ratio of guides to hikers. Our guides will go our pace and support each and everyone of us, regardless of fitness level and pace. In other words...you go your own speed and we all get there safe.
More about our trek/trip.
As with all our international trips, we picked the best season/time of year to go for weather and wildlife. Lemosho and Northern Circuit is a scenically spectacular and varied route. At the lower elevations it has an abundance of wildlife such as elephant, buffalo, eland and lion which come over to forage during dry season.
**Each of our trips is personally crafted to offer the best places and best use of time.**
*But I don't have the needed gear?!*
You don't need much more than the standard trekker's equipment. We will provide you with a list of what is already included and what can be rented there.
*Does this include food?*
All meals on the trek potion are included and a cook travels with us!
*What is lodging like?*
We are sleeping in new and comfortable tents (carried during the day by porters)
*I am new at this.*
That's OK. We do plenty of prep Zooms before we depart. And in California we have a number of local outdoor day or weekend outings you can test out with us.
*How dangerous is this? What if I get sick or hurt?*
We will be walking on an established, well used trail the entire time. **Our trip INCLUDES emergency insurance.** We are also Certified Wilderness First Responders and our guides are members of (AMREF) Flying Doctor.
**Plain and simple, safety is our primary goal.**
*How much does this cost?*
**Kilimanjaro Mountain Trek $3950 per person, double occupancy. Land only (airfare not included). Solo supplement $600**
Trip Cost includes:
\- 9 nights accommodation
\- 3 meals everyday on the trek
\- All Fees & Entrances and Taxes
\- Camping equipment such as tents\, tables\, chairs\.
\- Lead Guide\, Assistant Guides\, Porters and Cook
*RSVP to this event shows your interest, but does not hold your space.*
***The only way to secure your spot for this trip is a $300 deposit:***

Russian conversation and food at Rus Uz in Arlington
This is our 3rd Sunday of the month meetup at Restaurant Rus Uz in Arlington. Russian speakers can gather for Russian and Uzbek food, friendship, and conversation two Sundays every month--the first and third. Please join us and bring your Russian speaking friends. Everyone is welcome, but please keep conversation in Russian only, no English. For many of us, this is our only chance to practice our Russian
PLEASE RSVP if you are coming - we have to make a reservation. Please do not RSVP and then not come.
However usually there are more people than the number that RSVP. So don't think there will be too few people.

Parlons français!
Bonsoir à tous! Venez nombreux pour causer autour d'un repas ou d'un verre chez La Madeleine. On n'a que deux règles: (1) qu'on y parle exclusivement le français et (2) qu'on achète quelque chose à boire ou à manger (c'est La Madeleine qui le demande). Merci et à bientôt!
Energizing Walk for Busy People!
Join our weekly walking meetup to have fun, maintain a healthy lifestyle, meet new people, and enjoy nature! We meet Saturdays at 10am, by the bike racks and benches 150 feet in front of BUBBLES Hair Salon in Reston, leaving no later than 10:05.
Every week we'll walk the Green Trail to Lake Anne Plaza (\~1 mile), pause there for 5-10 minutes (water, bio, and from April-Nov a Farmer's Market), then circle the lake (2 miles) before returning to our starting point. It's roughly 3.5 miles and takes about an hour and a half.
Afterwards, some members will often head to a local restaurant to refuel and relax before tackling the rest of the day.
This event is open to all ages and fitness levels, and both friends and dogs are always welcome! We recommend dressing for the weather (umbrella, water bottle, snow shoes, hat, etc.) since we'll always walk, rain or shine.
By signing up, you accept and assume all risks and responsibilities with this activity, and nobody will be held liable.
