    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

    Alexander Bennett has been taking the UK circuit by storm in the past couple of years. He will perform in Brussels for the first time, together with Andrea Hubert.

    Alexander Bennett’s comedy has been variously described as dark, silly, filthy and thoughtful. He has filmed several stand up specials, created the cult hit comedy game show Hell To Play and recently started his new high-concept podcast Born Yesterday ​with comedian Andy Barr, which has already had guests including Jordan Gray, Phil Wang and Eshaan Akbar.


    His 2023 show 'I Can't Stand The Man, Myself' recieved several 5 and 4 star reviews, was shortlisted for the Amused Moose Comedy Award and a joke from it appeared in the Telegraph's Top 10 Funniest Jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe. It will be performed at London's prestigious Soho Theatre in April 2024.

    He has collaborated with Mark Watson, was nominated at the Leicester Comedy Awards as part of Consignia and co-orchestrated a huge charity event at the Pleasance Grand in Edinburgh called Dan Vs Food, in which a cast of 25+ comedians (including Ed Gamble, Iain Stirling, Nick Helm, Sophie Duker and Ivo Graham) watched a man called Dan eat his lunch. He has recently appeared on Radio 4, Insane in the Men Brain, Shame is Delicious and The Comedian's Comedian podcast.

    Andrea Hubert

    Winner of the best debut show at what's on london comedy awards 2016

    Winner of the bafta rocliffe new writing award 2013

    Andrea Hubert started out on the comedy circuit in late 2009, and within 20 gigs gained second place in a national competition. She’s since performed alongside some of the UK’s best comedians at prestigious comedy clubs all over the UK, been commissioned as a writer for a BBC pilot and was shortlisted for the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum at the New York Television Festival 2012.  She was dubbed One to Watch in 2012 by London is Funny, for whom she went on to write a comedy poetry blog in 2012. 

    In 2013, Andrea and her writing partner Ryan Cull won the prestigious BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum competition, beating over 500 other entrants. In 2015, Andrea took part in a spoof music video of Taylor Swift's Bad Blood, parodying the notion of tax on female toiletries.

    In 2016, Andrea took her debut show 'Week' to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

    In 2022 Andrea featured in the Channel 4 online series Jokes Only A … Can Tell which is out later this year.

    Emmanuel Sonubi - Curriculum Vitae

    TUESDAY 7 MAY 2024 

    8 P.M. - 10 P.M.

    Join ACB Partner, English Comedy Brussels on Tuesday 7 May at 8PM at the Black Sheep, for a special comedy treat with Emmanuel Sonubi! 

    ACB members get a 10% on tickets and on food at the Black Sheep!

    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.

    TUESDAY 11 June 2024 

    8 P.M. - 10 P.M.

    The Black Sheep


    Join ACB Partner, English Comedy Brussels on Tuesday 11 June at 8PM at the Black Sheep, for a special comedy treat with Ric Diez & Friends! 

    ACB members get a 10% on tickets and on food at the Black Sheep!

    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!

    ACB PARTNER EVENT: 

    A discovery tour of good and great wines from Crete

    Thursday,  June 20 · 7:30 - 10:30pm


    Join our partner Brandon from Terre Mieli Cieli, for his fifth year organizing a Cretan wine tasting.

    Crete is the southernmost of Greece's big islands and has produced quality wines since antiquity. Despite the southern latitude, high hills and mountains allow wine makers to produce excellent wines that are packed with flavor and acidity.

    We will taste eight typical Cretan wines, mostly from local grape varieties including Vidiano, Mandilaria and Thrapsathiri. The wine will be paired with plenty of good food.

    The tasting is limited to the first 30 people who sign up. Book early to reserve your spot!

    ACB members and partner clubs get a discounted rate of 60 euros, non-members rate is 65 euros. This is a joint event with AWCB and ACB Partner Terre Mieli Cieli.

    PLEASE REGISTER HERE

    Cancellations are possible until noon on June 17, 2024. Participants cancelling after this time, as well as no-shows, are charged the full cost of the event.
