Every set is performed in English by a mix of Swiss-based and international comics, so no Swiss-German skills required. * ***What’s a “Comedy Open Mic”?*** It’s the testing ground for jokes. Pros road-test fresh material and brave newcomers grab their first five minutes. Expect some gems, some flops—and the fun of seeing comedy born in real time. * ***Will it be funny?*** Most of the time, yes! An open mic is a roller-coaster: seasoned acts, new voices, and the occasional glorious train-wreck. It’s all part of the charm. * ***Can I perform too?*** Yes - you need to book a spot - find out more about how to do it here: [https://inyourfacecomedy.ch/perform/](https://inyourfacecomedy.ch/perform/). * ***Do I need to buy tickets in advance?*** Please do.

Link to tickets as at [https://inyourfacecomedy.ch/comedybrew/](https://inyourfacecomedy.ch/comedybrew/) * ***How does seating work?*** First come, first served so grab a drink, snag a seat, and settle in. * ***Is food available at the bar?*** ROBIN’s serves drinks only. For a pre-show bite, try **Restaurant Johanniter** (classic Swiss) or **Holy Cow!** across the street for burgers. * ***Will the comedians pick on me?*** We chat with the crowd for laughs, not humiliation. Friendly banter only - you’re safe. * ***How long is the show?*** Doors open 7:30pm, show starts \~7:50pm with a 15 min break in the middle ending around 10pm. Enough time for the last trams home... * ***Age limit?*** All ages welcome of course 16+ recommended (adult themes, spicy language).

Liebe Filmliebhaber Wir laden Sie und Euch ein, am Samstag, 20.12.2025 um 19.30 Uhr den 109 Minuten langen US- Film “Sie nennen ihn Radio” aus dem Jahr 2003 in Dübendorf, Im Schossacher 17, 3. Stock, privat anzuschauen und danach gemeinsam zu besprechen. Das Drehbuch stammt von Mike Rich, und die Regie von Michael Tollin Um 17.30 essen diejenigen zusammen, die gerne Freundschaften aufbauen und pflegen wollen. Wer bei der Vorbereitung des Essens helfen will, kann gerne ab 16.00 Uhr mithelfen. Wir freuen uns auf einen gemütlichen und bereichernden Filmabend! Ab 21.00 Uhr können wir den Film besprechen. Wir freuen uns über jeden, der kommen kann und Freude am gemeinsamen Besprechen hat. Handlung: Der Film erzählt – nach wahren Begebenheiten – die Geschichte einer aussergewöhnlichen Freundschaft zwischen dem 20jährigen, geistig zurückgebliebenen Afroamerikaner James Robert Kennedy und dem Football-Coach und Lehrer Harold Jones in der Kleinstadt Anderson in South Carolina. Ähnlich wie bei dem auf ein reales Ereignis beruhenden Film «Ein Dorf sieht schwarz» zeigt sich, dass Menschen für ein humanes Empfinden gewonnen werden können, wenn sich ein Mensch mit den anderen so verbunden fühlt, dass er sie ausdauernd zu einem sozialen Miteinander anregen und überzeugen kann, so dass alle besser leben können. Harold Jones lässt sich dank der emotionalen Unterstützung durch seine Frau nicht darin beirren, dass er dem ständig Radio hörenden Kennedy mit dem Spitznamen «Radio» zu einem Leben innerhalb der städtischen Gemeinschaft ermöglicht. Die Vorbehalte in der Stadt gegen den behinderten jungen Mann nimmt er ernst, beweist aber durch besonderen Einsatz, dass es sowohl in der Schule als auch in der Footballmannschaft der Stadt ein Platz für James gibt, an dem er sich zum Wohl aller einbringen kann. James Mutter beschreibt Radio als „genau wie alle anderen, nur ein wenig langsamer als die meisten“ und behandelt ihn liebevoll, so dass er eine gute emotionale Grundlage hat. Mit dem emotionalen ganz stabilen Rückhalt durch Harald und dessen Ermutigung entwickelt James immer weitere Fähigkeiten im sozialen Umgang, mit denen er auch anderen eine Freude machen kann. Harold Jones Engagement für die passende Teilhabe von Radio und die sozialen Fähigkeiten von «Radio» führen nach und nach zu einem Umdenken der Stadtbewohner über die Möglichkeiten, am Beispiel von Radio, allen Bürgern ein beglückendes Leben zu ermöglichen, indem sie sich füreinander einsetzen. Das Engagement für die Schule und die Footballmannschaft zeigt, dass es für alle erquicklicher ist, wenn das soziale Zusammenleben von allen getragen wird und sich alle positiv beteiligen können. Eindrücklich wird sichtbar, dass jeder Mensch aus dem eigenen unbewussten Lebensstil heraus, sich das Zusammenleben nur eingeschränkt und behindert vorstellen kann. So wollen sich die einen vom Footballteam überlegen fühlen können, wenn sie an einem scheinbar Schwächeren ihre vermeintliche Höherstellung ausleben. Einer glaubt, seinem Vater recht machen zu können, wenn er sich hervortut, um das scheinbar Übliche zu verteidigen. Ein anderer glaubt, aufsteigen zu können, wenn er sich nur auf seine Karriereentwicklung konzentriert. Ein weiterer möchte bei den anderen dadurch ankommen, dass er Forderungen an den Trainer aufstellt. Andere sind kleinlaut und versuchen – ganz brav – sich anzupassen an den scheinbar allgemeinen Trend, Die Direktorin der Schule möchte bei den Behörden nicht unangenehm auffallen. Es wird deutlich, dass es eine Entwicklung zum sozialen Miteinander für alle Beteiligten möglich ist, wenn ein Motiv eines Menschen vorliegt, sich für ein besseres und gleichwertiges Zusammenleben einzusetzen. Dafür braucht es auch die emotionale Fähigkeit mindestens eines Menschen, nicht kleinmütig zu leben, sondern andere für eine reichhaltigere Sicht auf das Leben zu gewinnen im Wissen, dass Menschen nicht bösartig sind, sondern uninformiert, wenn sie ablehnend gegenüber anderen, verbohrt und selbstbezogen eingeschränkt leben (müssen). Sie können sehr gerne diese Einladung an andere Interessierte verschicken. im neuen Jahr gibt es an jedem letzten Samstag im Monat einen Film: Bitte schon eintragen.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
