## AI & Lunch - In-person gathering in Luxembourg Hey there! Join us for another **in-person lunch** in 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 dinner atmosphere • 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 dinner.** Bring your curiosity, your appetite, and your good energy — and join us for an evening of conversation and connection.

**\*\*\*This is a ticketed show\*\*\*** **Get your tickets here -** [TICKETS!](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985226366503?aff=oddtdtcreator) A hilarious roller-coaster of outrageous true dating stories, audience confessions and roasts! **You think you've seen everything? No exaggeration, but you've never seen a show like this!** At Dating Confessions, you will hear some of the craziest dating stories you've ever heard. And after sold out shows all over Europe, we're still wondering which country has the craziest dating stories! **And...YOU could be the star of the show!** Taking your confessions on the night will be Europe's highest ranking comedy priests - Fathers **Richard and Sundeep**! These two are as different as night and day. But they are magical when on stage together. Share your dating story on a confession slip, then watch as Richard and Sundeep dive into a lively, on-the-spot interview with willing volunteers from the audience. You might just see your dating escapades turned into instant comedy classics!!! ***Just a few of our audience reactions***\*: :-)\* * "I was a little afraid at first, but its all so much good-natured fun...That was the most fun I've ever had at a comedy show!! * "I knew my story was funny, but it was the questions from the comedians that made it freakin hilarious to talk about it at the show!" * "I cant wait for the next show, I've still got stuff to share lol..." * "The unlikely chemistry on stage and the off-the-cuff banter is superb! " * "I made so many friends!!! Thats never happened before at any show! I went out partying with the people sitting next to me." * "Within the first 5 minutes, you know this show is going to kick ass!!"

**\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*** **This is a TICKETED EVENT. Please buy your tickets online at - [TICKETS](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985225919165?aff=oddtdtcreator)** \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* In **“Let’s Talk About It,”** Sundeep Bhardwaj tackles the topics most people are told to avoid in polite society: politics, colonization, religion, immigration, identity, and the very normal experience of opening social media and immediately regretting it. Known for his **sharp storytelling**, Sundeep mixes big global issues with **ridiculous personal stories from his own life**—growing up in India, moving across Europe, surviving married life, and discovering that the quickest way to upset strangers on the internet is to have opinions. A lot of opinions. If you’ve seen him online, you know he doesn’t exactly stay neutral. His clips have racked up **over 500 million views online**, mostly from people either laughing… or typing in all caps. From roasting Zionists, to colonial history, to the political circus around Donald Trump and his multiverse of clowns and dimwits, Sundeep has built a reputation for saying the quiet part out loud—and sometimes the part people didn’t even know they were thinking. Naturally, this has gone very well. Zionist activists keep trying to get his shows cancelled across Europe. Some shows did get cancelled. Which was terrible. Because it forced him to **book even more shows.** Tragic. Born in India and now based in Luxembourg, Sundeep has performed **sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe**, toured comedy clubs and theatres **all over Europe**, opened for comedy giants **Bassem Youssef** and **Russell Peters**, and even managed to get himself killed on a show on Netflix. “Let’s Talk About It” is fearless stand-up about the world we’re living in, the arguments we’re having online, and the absurd real-life situations that happen when you refuse to keep your opinions to yourself. Come laugh. Come disagree. Come see why trying to cancel a comedian is usually the **best marketing campaign they never paid for**. *Warning: Contains global politics, personal trauma, internet drama, and jokes that may cause spontaneous side-eye between audience members.* You can find him on Instagram at @thesundeep and on Tiktok at @thesunnydeep

Join us for a discussion of George R. R. Martin’s Dunk & Egg story The Hedge Knight and the new TV series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. We’ll talk about the story of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg, explore the themes of knighthood and honor in Westeros, and compare the original novella with what we know about the new TV adaptation. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the world of Westeros or just curious about this new series, come share your thoughts and theories in a relaxed discussion with fellow fans.

Let's celebrate the bank holiday together by eating some delicious Georgian/Kazakh food at Brasserie Favorite! I only discovered this place recently, and I'm obsessed! I have yet to meet a plate there I don't like. It's a small menu, but there's something for everyone on it. The staff are great, portions are generous, and the central location is hard to beat. I've booked a table for 8 of us at 18:30. As always, the PayPal fee is simply a deposit to secure your seat and fight against no-shows. When you arrive I will reimburse your money and we will all pay our own way at the end as usual. If you ghost us, we reserve the right to buy dumplings with your money! Thanks for understanding :)

The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

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!

Try new games, meet new people, and find out what story games are all about! Explore the reaches of space! Witness kingdoms rise and fall! Create and explore tragedies! All within a single game night. We play story games like Fiasco, Kingdom, Polaris and Microscope that encourage everyone at the table to participate creatively. We also have one-shots of indie, OSR, and narrative-focused RPGs such as Apocalypse World, Dread, Lady Blackbird, and Old School Essentials! Everybody's welcome! It doesn't matter if you've never tried story games before or never played roleplaying games at all! Just bring your brain and a good attitude and come try it out! *** **IMPORTANT** * When you arrive look for the marked Story Games Columbus Tables. Each table will have a separate game. Seating is on a first-come-first-serve basis. * If all tables are full, look for a Facilitator. We will find a way to get you into a game! * There is a flat $3 cover charge for events at Tabletop. *** **Facilitators!!** Please arrive early so that we can get you set up with a table. Please reach out to me ASAP if you would be willing to help facilitate. You can reach me on the SGC Discord here - https://discord.gg/jUTvWUu

Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters. ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas! TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk) BUZZ & REVIEWS: Overall some solid early reviews but this one seems to be a bit polarizing! We’ll have to see for ourselves. Those in the “loved it” camp say is not the rom-com the trailers would have you to believe! Instead, a twisty darkly comedic drama that’s “anchored by two compelling performances,” “an original idea, great cast, and a movie that’s gonna have people talking at the end of it!” PLAN: A slightly later showtime so we’ll go with dinner before the show this time. Here’s the plan: For dinner before the movie, meet at nearby BRASSICA between 5:45 and 6:00pm. Go through the line, and we’ll try to snag as many of the high-top tables as we can. For the movie, please purchase your ticket for the 7:30pm showing and we’ll meet in the lobby area between 7:00 and 7:15pm. I’ll be with the dinner group and will try to get there as close to 7pm as possible. Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater. When you purchase yours at counter, be sure to mention you’re with the Movie Group for admission and concession discounts. Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

...and speaking of breakthrough roles: who can forget the first time we saw Tom Cruise singing Bob Seeger in his underwear? Often considered an updated 1983 version of The Graduate, the movie sparkles with memorable lines and original music. I only regret that I was never told that "Princeton could use someone like Bob..." See the movie first and join us for some "Cruisin'"

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
