Book-of-the-Month Discussions

May 8, 2024 - 7PM

Kitchen Confidential, by Anthony Bourdain

Planning Session & Public Meet & Greet

July 10, 2024 - 7PM

A Woman of No Importance: The Untold Story of the American Spy Who Helped Win World War II, by Sonia Burnell

" In 1942, the Gestapo sent out an urgent transmission: "She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must find and destroy her." This spy was Virginia Hall, a young American woman--rejected from the foreign service because of her gender and her prosthetic leg--who talked her way into the spy organization deemed Churchill's "ministry of ungentlemanly warfare," and, before the United States had even entered the war, became the first woman to deploy to occupied France.”

Book club guidelines/criteria : This book club is comprised of members of the American Women’s Club of Brussels, the American Club of Brussels, and the Canadian Club of Belgium. We look for great authors who write in English, available for purchase in shops or online, not more than 300-400 pages, and have a preference for those that have a score of at least 4/5 on Goodreads. The books do not have to be recent, they can also be ones you loved that we might have missed. We meet on the second Wednesday of the month in the evening, from 1pm to 7pm, either at a host’s home or a café/restaurant, in the greater Brussels area.

About Emmanuel Sonubi

2022’s Edinburgh Comedy Award: Best Newcomer nominee and 2023’s Edinburgh Comedy Award: Best Show nominee Emmanuel Sonubi will be bringing his hit show to Brussels!

This was a Total Sell Out at the Edinburgh Fringe. Emmanuel presents a whistle stop tour through all of his jobs that have led him to become one of the hottest stand-up comics on the circuit in brand new show, Emmanuel Sonubi: Curriculum Vitae.

This brand-new show takes us through a hilarious and heartfelt story that explores all the jobs that Emmanuel has had before becoming a comedian and how those experiences helped shape his comedic voice. Recently seen on QI, Alan Davies As Yet Untitled, Apprentice 'You're Fired’ and headlined Live at the Apollo. Both Emmanuel’s 2022 and 2023 shows Emancipated and Curriculum Viate sold out and was a Fringe smash-hit, and this is a show not to miss.

The show takes the audience on a hilarious and sometimes poignant journey through a variety of jobs and industries many of which, he was wildly unqualified to do. From working in IT to the doors of London's nightlife, all this while building up an impressive list of Musical Theatre credit.

Emmanuel said today, “I am looking forward to getting out to Rotterdam, I promise you’re going to love the show as much as I do performing it. Edinburgh was an absolute blast and I’m humbled to have been nominated twice in a row for the biggest prize in comedy and I cannot wait to share this show with you.”

Very special guest : Richard Ruben

Richard Ruben is one of the best known French speaking comedians in Belgium. He's sold out venues such as Forest National, Cirque Royal ,and many more. Now aiming to a new challenge, Richard is starting to perform in English as well, and we are thrilled to have him at The Black Sheep.

MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONIES 2024

23 and-25-26 May

In memory of the Americans who died in the defense of freedom and whose final resting place is in the Kingdom of Belgium.

The American Overseas Memorial Day Association Foundation is inviting you to join Memorial Day in Belgium on Thursday 23 May, Saturday 25 May and Sunday 26 May 2024.

American Memorial Day is here again, with events planned for May 23, May 25 and 26. For Americans living in the United States, Memorial Day is a day off from work, with family picnics, and unbeatable sales. However, when you reside in Belgium, it is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for your family to experience what Memorial Day is all about. Commemorations of America’s commitment to guarantee freedom for the U.S., her friends and allies have been held each Memorial Day weekend in Belgium since 1923. One meaningful role Americans play during their years here is taking part in these ceremonies. If you haven’t done so already, don’t miss this opportunity. Attending a Memorial Day ceremony is a chance to reflect upon the freedom we enjoy today, paid for in the 20th century by over 345,000 brave American men and women who died during World Wars I and II.

Over 14,000 American servicemen are buried in Belgium in three American military cemeteries. United States Military Representatives and senior Belgian politicians offer their tributes. Belgian school children sing both The Star Spangled Banner and the Belgian national anthem, and deliver special poetic tributes at some cemeteries. The uplifting and dignified ceremonies help us to recall the self-evident truths that are the foundation of America itself, “…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Everyone is invited to attend the Memorial Day ceremonies in grateful remembrance.

Date and Place: various locations

About

Here's a comedian who's created quite a buzz in the last few months, since he won the goldent ticket at the Kill Tony posdcast in the US. We are happy and thrilled to host his first solo show in English in Brussels;

Ric Diez (@sadmanric), an enigmatic Spanish one-liner comedian, a maestro of the absurd and the dark. With a razor-sharp wit and a penchant for the unconventional, he crafts jokes that probe the depths of the human psyche, leaving audiences in stitches while contemplating life's complexities. He’s the first European recipient of the coveted Golden Ticket on the "Kill Tony" show, and recently made noise at the first Kill Tony Arena Show. Prepare to be both amused and enlightened as he fearlessly navigates the murky waters of the human experience, one punchline at a time.

His friends:

James Elwa

James has 4 children, and he likes some of them more than the others, sometimes. James is 40 years old, and he loves his wife very much, but not every day.

James doesn’t know if he’s a genius or a profound idiot. Perhaps a little of both. James hates motivational quotes, because however good you become at something, you still have to do the dishes next to someone that tells you they are not dried properly. Love is hard, but loneliness is worse. As opposed to what one might think after reading this, James is also disturbingly funny.

Nikos Pantelis, a Greek comedian renowned for his low energy and cynical approach to comedy. With a languid stage presence, Nikos effortlessly weaves his dry and sardonic observations into a comedic tapestry that will leave you chuckling and pondering simultaneously. His sharp wit and deadpan delivery will have you hanging on every word as he skillfully dissects the ironies and contradictions of everyday life.

Giorgio Slagveer

A night filled with laughter, Goofy antics and cosmic observations. With Giorgio you are guaranteed to look at life in a different way after his show, maybe in a good way, quite possibly in a bad way who knows. Honestly who gives a flying nun about bios. I have never read them before going to a show and since I can’t look past my own peen I assume everybody does the same.

So, if you're in the mood for a night of laughter and lightheartedness, come join me on this comedic journey. Who knows, together we might just discover that I'm funnier than I give myself credit for. Cheers to hoping, and here's to a good laugh!

Brussels Marriott Hôtel Grand Place

1050Come join us as we celebrate one of the American Club’s most popular events: a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, consisting of roast turkey with all the trimmings, followed by an assortment of real American pies. This very American event will be held on Thanksgiving itself, i.e., on Thursday, November 28 at 7:00 p.m. at the Brussels Marriott Hôtel Grand Place. Whole turkeys are carved and served family style at tables for ten. It’s just like home, only better, because someone else does the cooking! We look forward to seeing you at one of the Club’s very best annual events!

Please note vegetarian options are available upon request.
