Come one, come all, and join the Brno Hash House Harriers as we once again put on our best red dresses and run through the city to raise money for charity.

Like last year, we will be raising money for Vesna - [https://spolekvesna.cz/en/homepage/](https://spolekvesna.cz/en/homepage/) - a great local charity that offers educational, social, and recreational activities for women in need, along with assisting with humanitarian aid for families in need.

Also like last year, ALL MONEY RAISED through this event will go directly to Vesna - there are no middle men or promotional materials or anything else that need to be paid for first!

How does it work: Simply show up at Moravske Namesti - by PARQ Espresso Bar.  at 1pm on Saturday 16th September, ideally wearing a red dress - even the men - but failing that red clothing of any kind will be acceptable. And if you don't have anything red to wear, fear not, as there will be a chance to borrow something at the start!

There will be TWO trails which will have been pre-marked - one for people who like to run (approx 8km), and one for people who prefer a relaxing walk (approx 5km). For both groups there will be optional pay as you go drink stops along the way.

We are requesting a donation of 150czk per person in advance, or 200czk per person on the day. Children are welcome to join for free. As stated, ALL MONEY RAISED will go directly to Vesna to help them continue their fantastic work.

The whole thing should be over at 5pm, and we will end at Vesna where we might sing some silly songs to celebrate completion of the event, and where there will be some refreshments (beer and wine) provided for free, along with an option to use an electric barbecue for those people who like to do such things! 

At this point the amount raised will also be confirmed and announced.

So sign up now, come along, and have a lot of fun while making money for a great cause!

Brno Second Annual Red Dress Run

Ladies and Gentlemen, and all those people who in someway identify as 'other'...

You are hereby cordially invited to join the man, the myth, and the legend that is Scott Lee Hansen, as he brings his one man show back to Brno for the first time since the world was shut down due to Covid.

About Scott: Scott Lee Hansen has been a Stand up comic for far too long. He was the first, and hopefully won’t be the last, English stand up comic in The Czech Republic.

His first show “The Angličan” in 2007 was performed totally in mangled Czech.

After 40 shows Scott realised he could also be funny in English and has never looked back (unless there’s a sudden commotion behind him).
His Musings are amusing and the jokes Puntastic. Scott is also Czech’s Doctor Who Geek Extra-ordinaire, performing geek related comedy to crowds of women dressed as men and and men dressed in tin foil.

So expect a night of comedy, some wonderful special guests (hopefully), and perhaps even some random competitions thrown in for good measure.

This will be a show where audience participation will be encouraged, and perhaps even rewarded!

Tickets cost 200czk. Or just turn up on the night and hope there is still space!

Scott Lee Hansen - Live @ The Elephant

L﻿aughing Stones English Comedy is proud to present an evening of laughs and lunacy at BarCafe Elephant on Saturday 22nd April.

T﻿he event will be hosted by the legendary Scott Lee Hansen, who has been a stand up comic for far too long. 

He was the first and hopefully won’t be the last English stand up comic in The Czech Republic. His first show “The Angličan” in 2007 was performed totally in mangled Czech. 

After 40 shows Scott realised he could also be funny in English and has never looked back (unless there’s a sudden commotion behind him). 

His musings are amusing and the jokes Puntastic. 

Scott is also Czech’s Doctor Who Geek Extra-ordinaire performing geek related comedy to crowds of women dressed as men and and men dressed in tin foil.

B﻿acking him up in the first half of the show are;

D﻿amien Smethurst, who started doing comedy in Prague after accidentally going to a dreadful show and drunkenly thinking he could do better. 

He started his own comedy night off the back of this drunken decision, but every time he put on a show the country went into Covid Lockdown a week later. So he ran away and started a comedy night in Brno instead. 

Whether he actually can do better then the awful comedians he saw at that one bad show in Prague or not is still unclear, but at least the country doesn't go into lockdown when he gets on stage now!

Daniel Sedlák, a comedian from Czech Republic. Knowing that life failures can create some great comedy, listening to him can bring you laughter as well as a better feeling about your own life.

A﻿ll of this will be just to get people primed for the main event, which is the spectacular Erin Crouch. 

Erin is an American comedian who lives in Germany because she craves disapproval. 

She has hosted, featured and performed at the Manchester Women in Comedy Festival (2021), Boom Chicago comedy festival in Amsterdam, Tallinn Fringe Festival in Estonia (2022) and Utrecht Comedy Festival (2023). 

In conjunction with the US Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz, she produces a monthly comedy showcase on the military base and has toured Budapest, Istanbul and Prague doing English comedy in 2022.

She recently opened for Enissa Amani, the first German woman comedian to have a Netflix special, and this will be her first visit to Brno!

TICKETS: The price for a ticket is 150czk in advance, or 200czk on the door! Tickets are available online until 6pm on April 21st, or on the door at the venue from 7pm on April 22nd
