And 1 MC to light the fire up.Comedians will not only compete to get the biggest laugh from the audience but also fight with the burning while eating the spiciest sauces to win the big prize ! It is not only a comedy show, it is a battle of laughter and tears where only 1 hero will stand!Watch as brave comedians face the heat – literally – by consuming increasingly spicy hot sauces before delivering their side-splitting sets. **Tickets** https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hot-jokes-the-funniest-comedians-try-the-spiciest-sauces-season-finale-tickets-1987194450094 The MC : **Jerry**, born in Izmir, Turkey, inherited her mother's love for red chilli pepper —only to discover life's true bitterness in boarding school, where she swapped spice for cheap wine. By day, navigating the corporate jungle as an expat; by night, a 35 years old immigrant still feeding her inner child with chaos and silly songs.Her spicy level : 6,5/10 Comedians : **Richard Fox** is a luxemburgish national in perpetual denial about his frenchness. He enjoys treating the stupidest subject and pretending like he will never be an adult. His spicy tolerance 7/10 **Keli** was raised in Greece, Albanian by birth, princess by choice, resides currently in Luxembourg after several failed attempts at staying in one country. His comedy is observational and story-led, built around social and cultural commentary and that complaining is his preferred way of understanding the world. An archivist/librarian, cat enthusiast and metalhead who enjoys his boring job and wants to bring attention to immigrant stories and everyday cultural absurdities.His spicy tolerance 7/10 **Ken Park** is a comedian from Luxembourg, who after testing his jokes in many European cities over the past 5 years, found his comedy recipeFirst, you take a naive mind and bake it in questionable life decisions. Second, fill the baked product with true stories and marinate it in bad karma.Finally a sprinkle of fresh one liners and of course a ton of spices !His spice tolerance : 8/10 **Joana Costa** is the definition of bubbly, crazy and full of energy.After 2 years of comedy and storytelling in Luxembourg, she has undeniably built one of the most unique and colorful charachter on the local comedy scene Her spicy tolerance : 6/10 **Ben** : Ben grew up in Ireland, so there is no evidence he can tolerate hot sauces at all! He also cannot say "no" when asked to do daft things, so he has agreed to do Hot Jokes again, even though the last time caused him to have an existential crisis. Normally a storyteller, he has done enough stupid things in life that you can laugh at, so he occasionally dabbles in stand-up comedy. His spice tolerance is 0.5 (at best). #prayforben **Amanda** : Bio coming soon **Charlie** : Bio coming soon

***Spring & Summer Florals Edition*** There is something quietly revelatory about truly paying attention to a scent. Not just spraying and moving on, but sitting with it - noticing what it stirs, where it takes you, what it makes you feel before your mind has time to catch up. That is what **Notes After Dark** is about. Join us on Wednesday 13 May at the beautiful Parfumerie en Liberté in Luxembourg City for an intimate guided exploration of spring and summer florals. Over two unhurried hours, we will journey through the full spectrum of the floral family together - from light and dewy to the heady and intoxicating, closing on something altogether unexpected. Your host Greta, founder of Clet Dolph and fragrance consultant, will guide the group through a curated selection of fragrances one by one - presenting the notes, the accords, and the story behind each scent, before opening the floor for your first impressions and reflections. This is a group discussion as much as a guided experience - curious conversation is very much part of the evening. Complimentary drinks are included. Spaces are strictly limited. **Registration is strictly required as spaces are limited. Tickets and registration via Eventbrite — link below.** https://www.eventbrite.com/e/notes-after-dark-fragrance-discovery-evening-registration-1988713780452

## AI & Lunch - In-person gathering in Luxembourg Hey there! Join us for another **in-person lunch** in the heart of Luxembourg where AI enthusiasts come together to chat, share ideas, and enjoy great food. Whether you're a pro or just curious about artificial intelligence, this is the perfect chance to connect and exchange with like-minded people. See you there! **AI & Lunch** is the seated, more intimate format of the **AI & Coffee** community — designed for deeper conversations and real connection around the table. This will be a lunch where we all sit together and so everyone gets the chance to meet the full table, connect, and discover new stories. You’re welcome to bring friends if you’d like. The goal is simple: enjoy lunch together, exchange ideas, value, updates about AI, and meet the people behind this growing community. After our AI & Coffee meetups, previous lunches, dinners, many meaningful connections have already formed — and this format is where they really deepen. 🍽️ **We’ll gather for conversations about:** • AI news, trends, tools, and real use cases • Personal projects, ideas, and feedback • Supporting each other’s personal or entrepreneurial journeys • Strengthening Luxembourg’s AI community 👥 **Who’s welcome?** Developers, entrepreneurs, investors, students, researchers, creatives — and anyone curious about AI who enjoys thoughtful conversation and meeting new people. 💡 **What to expect** • A friendly, open lunch in a nice location • Circulating seats throughout the courses • Great conversations, new perspectives, and genuine connections • No pressure, no presentations — just good people and meaningful exchange **🎉 The only cost is your lunch.** Bring your curiosity, your appetite, and your good energy — and join us for a lunch of conversation and connection.

This week, we’ll explore the idea of flow, slowing down, and trusting life a little more. What happens when we stop forcing, controlling, or resisting everything quite so much? Can we allow ourselves to relax, notice what is present, and trust the process even when we don’t fully know where life is going? This meetup is a calm reflective space with light grounding, awareness, and open conversation. We may include: • a short grounding practice • a simple reflection question • open sharing and listening No pressure to speak or participate in any specific way. Just a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself and others. 📍 Location: If the weather is good, we’ll meet outdoors in the park near Mikrokosmos and sit together on the grass in a relaxed picnic-style setting. In case of rain or colder weather, we’ll meet indoors at Casino Luxembourg art gallery. 🕠 Wednesday, 17:30–18:30 👥 Small group format

Il y a des moments où l’on se sent traversé par beaucoup trop d’émotions à la fois. Trop fort, trop vite, trop longtemps. Et quand cela arrive, on peut vite se sentir submergé, fatigué, ou même coupé de soi. C’est précisément ce que nous explorerons lors de la soirée énergie du mercredi 13 mai : comment mieux ressentir ce que l’on vit, sans se laisser envahir, et comment retrouver un peu d’espace intérieur quand les émotions débordent. Au programme : \- mieux comprendre le trop\-plein émotionnel\, \- identifier ce qui nous déborde le plus souvent\, \- découvrir des pistes pour traverser ces moments avec plus de douceur et de clarté\. Cette soirée s’adresse à toute personne qui souhaite mieux se connaître, mieux vivre ses émotions, et retrouver un peu d’apaisement dans son quotidien. Je vous invite à nous rejoindre le 13 mai pour ce temps d’échange et d’exploration.

**✨ Gather & Grow – The First Circle** There’s a moment when you realize you’ve outgrown your current life… But you don’t yet know what the next version of you looks like. This event is for that moment. Gather & Grow is not just another meetup. It’s a space for people who want more- from themselves, from relationships, from life. For this first event, we’re doing something different. Instead of forcing a fixed topic, we open the space to explore what actually matters to you: – relationships and dating dynamics – confidence and self-trust – breaking patterns that keep repeating – personal growth, identity, and transformation Or anything else that’s been sitting in your mind, waiting for a place to be said out loud. This is a guided, intentional conversation—not random sharing. You will be seen, heard, and challenged in the right way. And here’s the truth: This first circle will shape everything that comes next. Future events will go deeper—real topics, real situations, real-time guidance. This is where we build the foundation together. **📍 Practical details** The event will take place at **I AM WOW, City Concord**. There is **free parking available**, so logistics are not your excuse. This is a café-restaurant space, so please keep in mind that ordering a drink is expected. 👉 Arrive **a little earlier** so you can order comfortably— we will **start on time**, together, without delays. If you’ve been craving better conversations, sharper insights, and a different kind of environment… you’ll feel it immediately when you walk in. Come as you are. Leave different. **🔒 A few important notes** This is not a passive event. If you come, come ready to **engage, reflect, and contribute**—in your own way and at your own pace. This space is for people who are open to growth, honest conversations, and new perspectives. Not for spectators, and not for staying comfortably the same. We keep the group **intimate**, so everyone has the chance to be part of the experience. Respect, presence, and confidentiality are expected. What is shared in the room, stays in the room. — Lanna
