MISCELLANEOUS EVENTS

Saturday 1st August 2025
Azma Coworking Space Ngong
Books, Brunch & Giggles - A Women's Book Club

Some of the best conversations happen around a table with good food, a good book, and people who make you feel seen. Books, Brunch & Giggles is a monthly gathering by The Feminine Flow for women who want to build and be in community. It is a space to slow down, exchange ideas, laugh a little louder, and connect with women who are equally curious about life, growth, and themselves. Each month we gather around a carefully selected book and explore the themes it raises through open conversation, thoughtful reflection, and a few activities designed to make the discussion both engaging and memorable. Whether you've read every page, only just started, or simply want to be part of the conversation, you are welcome.

Friday 31st July 2026
Suave Kitchen and Social Club Vanguard House
Suave After Dark Late Night Comedy

When the lights dim at Suave Kitchen & Social Club, the night shifts into something a little more electric. Suave After Dark is where the venue transforms into a late-night playground of comedy and conversation. It is looser, riskier and often funnier than the main show. Comedians try wild material, and the room takes on the feeling of a late-night house party with a stage. You might hear stories that would never make it into the early show. You might end up staying much longer than planned. It is intimate, unpredictable and alive. Full kitchen and bar service available throughout the event.
