Weekend Adventures

Have you ever wanted to try stand up? Learn some comedy techniques? Do you want to have a life changing experience which will dramatically change your confidence, make you funnier and more attractive? Or want to laugh a lot and have fun? This course is Ideal for wellbeing, confidence building and looking at life in a lighter way. Do not worry that you are not creative. Many comedy techniques require NO creativity at all. Also do not worry if you are not the loud expressive one in the group. Comedy is about your own personal view of the world not necessarily performance based expression. Discover your funny bone at our hugely popular comedy writing course with BBC-featured coach, TV actor and comedian **Fun, lively 5-week sit-down comedy course at the charming Chez Nous Café in Belsize Park.** Led by Bentley Browning: TV actor, comedian and professional David Cameron lookalike, seen on ITV’s *The Hack*. Other credits include *The Last Leg*, *The Alan Titchmarsh Show* and *Take Me Out*. This course is designed to help you discover your authentic comic voice - even if you’ve never written a joke or performed before. A relaxed venue, great coffee and cakes and plenty of laughs - the perfect setting to gently ease into comedy. **This is a writing-only course:** there’s no performing during the sessions, so you can focus on learning without pressure. All stage time is saved for the (optional) grand finale showcase at the legendary Washington Pub. **Over five weeks you’ll:** • Learn the basics of stand-up in a fun, supportive environment • Try simple, guided comedy writing exercises (no experience needed) • Discover your own style and what makes you funny • Get friendly, gentle, constructive feedback • Build confidence step by step, at your own pace • Work towards a relaxed, friendly showcase at the Washington Pub This isn’t just another class — it’s a unique experience with an accomplished comedy coach and quite possibly the most fun you’ll have on a Monday night. You’ll finish with your own material, a clearer sense of your comedic voice, and — if you choose to perform — the thrill of trying it out in front of a live audience. **Perfect for absolute beginners, curious first-timers and comedy fans.** More experienced comedians wanting a refresher are welcome too. **COURSE DETAILS** Dates: Mondays – 13 April, 20 April , 27 April, 4 May, 11 May Time: 7.00 – 8.45pm Venue: Chez Nous Café, 157 Haverstock Hill, London NW3 4QT Showcase: Sunday 24 May at The Washington Pub, Belsize Park **ONLY 10 PLACES AVAILABLE - ADVANCE BOOKING ESSENTIAL.** www.roxcomedy.com **Cost** The cost of this 5 week course with your own showcase gig is £165 ONLY!(Early Bird Price at moment will increase). We will need a £50 deposit to hold your place here: https://buy.stripe.com/7sIaF75ly91a4De7sB With remaining money to be paid on the day of the course. We only have so many slots for the course so RSVP and pay deposit to grab your spot I (Chris Murphy - organiser of the Meetp Group) have done a few times over the years (first did it 8 years ago), it really helped transform my life, confidence, start public speaking and is the most fun course i've ever done, so highly recommend :)! Hopefully see you there Chris

Just new friends ✨** Whether you’re visiting London for the first time, just arrived, or simply love meeting curious, open-minded people, this bi-weekly **Just Gutsy** meetup is an easy way to share stories, make friends, and explore the city together. **Who it’s for?** • Solo travelers • Expats & digital nomads • Locals who love meeting travelers **What to expect?** ✨ Relaxed, **self-led** gathering 🤝 Small group energy 🌍 Travel stories, tips & shared adventures 🍹 Grab a drink or snack if you like **How it works?** This is a self-led meetup, meaning I set it up for you but the magic happens between you. To make sure everyone finds each other smoothly, please follow these simple coordination steps: 1️⃣ **RSVP** Thoughtfully If you’re planning to come, tap “Going.” It helps others feel confident joining and builds momentum before the meetup. Even if you’re 80% sure, RSVP. If your plans change, please update your RSVP so others aren’t expecting your attendance. 2️⃣ **Confirm 2 Hours Before** (Essential) To ensure the meetup runs, please comment on this event page at least 2 hours before the start time: “Confirmed for today 😊” This allows everyone to see, ahead of time, who is actually coming. The meetup moves forward when at least 2 people confirm 2 hours before the event. If fewer than 2 confirmations are posted by then, attendance may be low that day. This avoids anyone showing up uncertain. 3️⃣ **Signal Your Arrival** When you arrive, comment on this event page: “Arrived” + where you’re sitting + what you’re wearing Example: “Arrived. Sitting outside near the entrance. Wearing a black t-shirt.” This ensures everyone can easily find each other. Recognition Tip Having a clear profile photo on Meetup is highly encouraged — it makes recognition effortless and helps the group form faster. **When & Where?** 📅 Day: Every Tuesday & Saturday 🕓 Time: 4:00 PM local time 📍 Meeting point: In front of Starbucks **Marble Arch.** **Arrive on time,** smaller groups make it easier to connect. **Why join Just Gutsy?** • Meet open-minded people who genuinely want to connect • Feel at home anywhere in the world • Be part of a growing global solo travel community • Early members get lifetime premium access to the future Just Gutsy app 🚀 Join here 👉 https://justgutsy.com/ **About Just Gutsy** **Just Gutsy** is a global community for solo travelers who are free spirited, love exploring the world believe that real connections make the best memories. Hi, I am Syrine, I started solo traveling in 2018 and it changed my life, from introvert to extrovert. Along the way, I loved meeting people, but also felt how hard it can be to find connection when traveling alone. I’m building Just Gutsy so no one has to feel alone on the road — and so anyone who’s still shy to take that first step has a welcoming place to start. 💛

https://a248.e.akamai.net/secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/7/0/d/600_457574093.jpeg Brighton is one of the most popular seaside towns in England. It is one of the closest to London with very good train links into Victoria & London Bridge Stations. You will be able to enjoy the beach with all the usual attractions of a seaside town, as well as a Sea Life Centre and very attractive shopping area called “The Lanes”. There is one landmark that stands out in the city and that is the Royal Pavilion, the royal palace built for King George IV when he was Prince of Wales. The design has influences of Indian architecture, which gives it an unusual oriental appearance. We begin our tour at London Bridge station at the lower level ticket office. When we get to Brighton, there will be a guided tour around the city, which will finish at the Royal Pavilion. You will then have free time until we meet to come back to London. The price you pay for the tour includes the train ticket, a guided walk and entry to the Royal Pavilion.
