Emiliana Artagaveytia, Cosas que me sorprenden de, in Bilbao
On Sunday 17 January 2027 at 19:00 the Teatro Campos Elíseos in Bilbao hosts Emiliana Artagaveytia, known online as emi_grando, with her live show Cosas que me sorprenden de. The listing presents her as a Uruguayan creator based in Valencia who brings to the stage the critical, ironic and sharp view she has built online, using humour to play with the cultural contrasts she lives between Uruguay and Spain. Through everyday anecdotes and observations about customs, slang and daily routines, the listing says she turns the apparently trivial into fertile ground for laughter and reflection, with spontaneity and complicity. The price is 18 euros and the language is Spanish. It gives 19:00 as the start and no end time, so the end shown is estimated. A Sunday evening stand-up show in a seated theatre is easy to enjoy alone. «Convierte lo aparentemente trivial en un terreno fértil para la risa.» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30.

El Niño de la Hipoteca vs Guiu Cortés, a music and humour show, Bilbao
On Thursday 4 March 2027 at 21:00 Azkena in Bilbao hosts El Niño de la Hipoteca vs Guiu Cortés. The listing says El Niño de la Hipoteca, whose real name is Guiu Cortés, has been a revolution in the world of music and one of the pioneers in Spain of the multitasking artist who self-releases, self-produces and self-manages, known for novel ways of spreading his project as much as for the undeniable quality of his songs. He now presents a new show that brings together music, humour, a board game and a karate fight, in which, through a game, the audience and the singer decide what happens at each moment. The listing calls it a second successful season. The price is 18 euros and the language is Spanish. It gives 21:00 as the start and no end time, so the end shown is estimated. An interactive show where the audience plays is easy to enjoy alone. «Un show en el que, mediante un juego, el público y el cantante decidirán qué sucederá.» Starts 21:00, ends about 22:30.

Host a game night
No table near you? Set one up in a minute.
Create a free invite (pick the Game night template), share the link, and the people who say yes bring the snacks. This is the whole host kit:
- A public table — a café, a bar's back room or a library room beats your living room for strangers.
- Two or three short games that take one minute to explain; save the four-hour epic for later.
- Cap it at 4–8 players per table and say so in the invite.
- Beginners welcome, in writing — it is the line that gets newcomers to say yes.
- Fixed end time, two to three hours, so leaving is easy and coming back next time is too.
