Good Morning

Readers of the newsletter will know that i often find out about a special day and use that as inspiration for my intro. Well, this whole week has been National Dog Bite Prevention Week and, as it ends on Saturday, i am happy to announce that it is going spectacularly well. Not only have i not been bitten by a dog this week, but our four-legged friends have not been on the receiving end of a chomp from my gnashers. But spare a thought for the intrepid postmen and women… post people, if you will, for whom this is an occupational hazard.
Speaking of weird celebrations, this Monday is a barometer, or should i say ba-boom-meter, of whether the summer is going to be halfway good or not. Sechseläuten has everything. Fire, an exploding snowman, men in tights and, best of all, half a day off work! Enjoy the weekend and…
Give my love to the city

Another week, another grassroots music festival. This week, the Lauter Kollektiv (they provide the artists for my very own Ron Voyage) are holding the eighteenth edition of their eponymous festival. This year’s festival takes place on Friday and Saturday and is centred around Dynamo, with bands and DJs hitting the stages in Saal, Werk 21 and on an outdoor stage. The festival focuses on upcoming and independent artists who, let’s face it, need as much help as they can get in this day and age. That said, the festival is free, free, free!
Fri 5:30pm & Sat 4pm, Dynamo, Wasserwerkstrasse 21, 8006

What? More comedy? Yes, there is a second comedy option for you, this time on a Monday night, which is quite unusual in this town. The Spirgarten over in Altstetten hosts comedienne Ashley Gavin as part of her Big Momma Tour.
Ashley is best known for her work on TikTok and her podcast We’re Having Gay Sex, but she has also made numerous appearances on Netflix Is a Joke and Hulu Comedy Central. Grab your tickets here.
Monday 7pm, Theatre Spirgarten, Lindenplatz 5, 8048

This week i was contemplating I was contemplating which guild i would belong to and how i would take part in Sechseläuten: a peculiar Zurich tradition that results in men parading around in tights, the sad demise of a snowman and the rest of us getting half a day off. After considering my social and political opinions i realised that the guilds would probably prefer me to be the Böögg. Anyways, this year i have come up with six interesting facts about Sechseläuten that you can use to regale and impress co-workers, friends and even enemies!
p.s. If you are new to the city and have no idea what I am talking about then there is a basic guide to Sechseläuten here.
