## [BOOK HERE!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/english-stand-up-comedy-show-monday-night-laughs-the-comedy-pub-tickets-0NML7Q?ref=MeetUp) Monday Night Laughs: Vienna’s English stand-up open mic! Watch & perform every Monday at The Comedy Pub. Free entry, cozy vibe, endless laug Vienna’s English Stand-Up Comedy Open Mic – Every Monday at The Comedy Pub ## 😂 Mondays Don’t Have to Suck The weekend might be over — but the laughter doesn’t stop. Welcome to **Monday Night Laughs**, Vienna’s cozy and community-driven **English stand-up comedy open mic**, where locals, expats, and travelers come together to kick off the week with big laughs and good vibes. Every Monday night, *The Comedy Pub Vienna* turns into a creative playground for comedians and comedy lovers alike. Whether it’s your first time at a show or your tenth, you’ll feel right at home. Forget Netflix. Forget the Monday blues. This is your weekly reminder that laughter fixes everything — especially on a Monday. ## 🎭 What Is *Monday Night Laughs*? It’s not a fancy showcase or a big-ticket headliner night. It’s something much better — it’s *real*. Here, the mic is open, the drinks are cold, and the laughter is honest. You’ll see comedians from all over the world — from total beginners testing their first five minutes to experienced performers working out new jokes for their next tour. No two shows are ever the same. One moment you’ll hear a joke about Austrian bureaucracy, the next about dating disasters in Spain or cultural shocks in Tokyo. It’s raw, spontaneous, and absolutely unpredictable — the way live comedy is meant to be. And because it’s all happening in English, the night draws a wonderfully mixed crowd: locals, internationals, and everyone in between. ## 🎙️ For Performers If you’ve ever thought, *“I could do that,”* this is your sign. *Monday Night Laughs* is one of Vienna’s most supportive and encouraging open mics for new comedians. No judgment, no pressure — just a room full of people who love to laugh and want you to succeed. It’s the perfect place to try stand-up for the first time, or to test new material before your next big show. The vibe is friendly, relaxed, and full of creative energy — comedy at its purest form. Sign-up is open before the show — come early, grab a drink, and put your name down. Who knows? You might be the next crowd favorite. ## 🎤 For the Audience If you just want to watch, you’re in for a treat. This is one of Vienna’s most authentic live experiences — a place where you can laugh, relax, and see the future stars of stand-up before they blow up. You’ll witness comedy in its rawest form: jokes being born, ideas taking shape, and performers finding their voice. Sometimes it’s perfect, sometimes it’s weird — but it’s *always* fun. Grab a beer, find a seat, and enjoy a night full of unpredictable laughter. ## 🍻 The Atmosphere The Comedy Pub isn’t just a venue — it’s a community. It’s the heart of Vienna’s growing stand-up scene, a space where people come together to connect, perform, and laugh without judgment. The audience cheers each performer, the comedians support one another, and the whole night feels like hanging out with friends who happen to be hilarious. It’s the kind of Monday night you’ll want to make a tradition. ## 📍 The Venue: The Comedy Pub Vienna 📍 **Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna** Nestled in the heart of Vienna’s 5th district, *The Comedy Pub* is the city’s only dedicated stand-up comedy club — a cozy Irish-style bar with warm lighting, a friendly crowd, and the perfect stage for laughter. 🍻 A full bar with great drinks 🎭 Intimate setting with front-row energy 🌍 A melting pot of locals, expats & travelers 🪑 First come, first seated – so come early! ## 📅 Event Details 📆 **Every Monday** 🚪 **Doors open:** 19:30 🎤 **Show starts:** 20:00 📍 **The Comedy Pub**, Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna 🗣️ **Language:** English 💶 **Entry:** Free entry – donations welcome (if you laugh, you pay in karma… or cash 😉) ## ✨ Why You’ll Love It Because this is what real comedy feels like. No lights, no filters, no fake laughs — just honest jokes, good people, and that unbeatable live energy that you can’t stream. **Monday Night Laughs** is more than a show — it’s a community, a creative space, and the friendliest way to start your week in Vienna. So come for the comedy, stay for the connections, and leave with sore cheeks from laughing. Monday Night Laughs: Vienna’s English stand-up open mic! Watch & perform every Monday at The Comedy Pub. Free entry, cozy vibe, endless laughs. #MondayNightLaughs #ComedyVienna #OpenMicVienna #StandUpVienna #EnglishComedyVienna #TheComedyPub #ViennaEvents #ViennaLaughs #FreeComedyVienna #ViennaNightlife #ComedyClubVienna #ExpatsInVienna #FunnyVienna #ViennaThingsToDo #LiveComedyVienna #InternationalComedy #ViennaLOL #MondayComedyVienna

**Zwischen den Jahren liegt dieser ganz eigene Zauber: ein Moment, in dem alles möglich scheint – das Alte klingt noch nach, das Neue klopft schon leise an.** Genau darum geht’s an diesem Abend – kurz durchatmen, lachen, Geschichten teilen und mit einem guten Gefühl Richtung 2026 starten. Mit lockeren Gesprächsrunden, Mini-Ideen und kleinen Momenten, die Spaß machen – von spontanen Throwbacks bis zu einem Augenzwinkern Richtung Neues Jahr. Statt Bleigießen oder Böller: Begegnungen, Gespräche und kleine Impulse, die zum Lächeln, Nachdenken oder einfach Weiterreden anregen. Vielleicht teilst du eine Erinnerung, schreibst einen Wunsch auf – oder entdeckst bei jemand anderem etwas, das hängenbleibt. Ein paar kleine Jahresend-Inspirationen begleiten uns – offen, unkompliziert und ohne Kitsch. Ein Abend, der Lust macht auf Neues – und Menschen, die vielleicht bleiben. **Das erwartet dich an diesem Abend:** * **Rotierende Mini-Runden** – klar strukturiert, locker moderiert * **Karten, Impulse und kleine Aktionen**, die Gespräche leicht ins Rollen bringen * **Eine Atmosphäre zwischen Rückblick und Aufbruch** – offen, herzlich, ohne Erwartungen * **Pre-Silvester ohne Druck:** Lockere Impulse statt strenger Rituale – mit Platz für Spontanes. **Im Ticket ist ein 15 Euro Konsumations-Gutschein enthalten.** Das bedeutet, ihr bekommt eine Pre-Paid-Karte, mit der ihr aus der Variation der Getränke und des Essens der Stände auswählen könnt. Falls euch ein Restwert auf der Karte übrig bleibt, könnt ihr den auch an einem anderen Tag im Gleis//Garten nutzen. ### Über uns Wir sind spezialisiert auf Dating Events, die Verbindungen in entspannter Atmosphäre ermöglichen. Unser Ziel ist es, Singles zusammenzubringen, ohne Stress – dafür mit Raum für wertschätzende Gespräche. https://slowdatingevents.at **\#\# Wie bekomme ich ein Ticket?** Ticketverkauf: [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/last-date-of-the-year-35-49-jahre-tickets-1970700365844?aff=oddtdtcreator) Mehr Informationen: [slowdatingevents.at](https://slowdatingevents.at/)

***There’s a special kind of magic hidden between the years: a moment when everything feels possible – the old still echoes, while the new is already knocking softly*.** That’s exactly what this evening is about – taking a breath, laughing, sharing stories, and heading toward 2026 with a good feeling. With relaxed conversation rounds, mini-ideas, and small moments that spark joy – from spontaneous throwbacks to little winks toward the New Year. Instead of lead-pouring or fireworks: encounters, conversations, and gentle impulses that make you smile, reflect, or simply keep talking. Maybe you’ll share a memory, write down a wish – or notice something in someone else that stays with you. A few small year-end inspirations will guide us – open, easygoing, and free of kitsch. An evening that invites new beginnings – and maybe introduces you to people who stay. **What to expect this evening:** * **Rotating mini-rounds** – clearly structured, lightly moderated * **Cards, prompts, and small actions** that help conversations flow easily * **An atmosphere between reflection and fresh beginnings** – open, warm, without expectations * **A pre-New Year’s vibe without pressure:** gentle impulses instead of strict rituals – with room for spontaneity **The ticket includes a € 15 drink/food voucher.** Which means you can choose with your pre-paid card between a variety of drinks and food from the stands. If there is a rest value, you can also use it on another day at the Gleis//Garten. ### Über uns Wir sind spezialisiert auf Dating Events, die Verbindungen in entspannter Atmosphäre ermöglichen.

Herzlich Willkommen zu unserem kostenlosen Meditations Kurs! Einstieg ist jederzeit möglich, geeignet für Anfänger als auch Fortgeschrittene. Hier werden dir Grundlagen und Wissen von Sahaja Yoga-Meditation vorgestellt: speziell über Kundalini, Energiezentren, subtile Kanäle in und einfache Techniken, die unterstützend auf unser inneres Wachstum wirken und uns ins Gleichgewicht bringen. Wir lernen wie wir in unserem täglichen Leben in Balance kommen und in einem Zustand der Stille Kraft schöpfen können. Ein zentraler Punkt ist die spürbare Stille in jedem von uns. Sie ist der Moment im Hier und Jetzt, der uns Inspiration, Freude und vieles mehr schenkt. In diesem Zustand zu verweilen bedeutet Meditation - und das ist die Quintessenz für inneres Wachstum und Weiterentwicklung. Wir freuen uns schon auf dich!

## BASIC Montags von 18:30 bis 19:45 Uhr. Dieses Training ist gedacht für alle Leute, die keine Erfahrung mit argentinischem Tango haben und diesen Tanz lernen wollen und die die bereits Erfahrung mit argentinischem Tango haben, jedoch mit meiner Methode ([TangoGermano](http://www.tangogermano.com/d/didaktik.html)) nicht vertraut sind. Im Kurs entwickeln wir die Grundlagen um den Tango zu lernen. Wenn sie gefestigt sind, wird der Lernprozess schneller und weniger schwierig sein. #### Diese Kurse finden in [Hasenauerstrasse 38](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=hasenauerstra%C3%9Fe+38) \- 1190\, Wien statt\.

Thank you for visiting this event page! * Are you an advanced badminton player? If yes - WELCOME! * The earlier you sign up, the bigger your chance to reserve a place - once 9 other players have signed up already, you move to the waiting list. * Once the waiting list has 3 or more members, I will try to book an additional court, but no guarantees. I need to close the registration 24h before the event as I will then have to decide whether to cancel any court due to a shortage of players. You can still contact me if you want to play though. The fee per player will be €10.00 for 2 hours as the cost of both shuttles and court bookings have increased. But this should now cover also shuttles used during play. Please be on time as a curtesy to the other players. In addition, if you are on the players' list and don't come (i.e. no show), you will be automatically excluded from this group.

Improvisierte Tanz- und Klangreise. Reden ist davor und danach möglich. Ein E-Piano steht zur Verfügung. Bitte pünktlich ankommen.

Reserve your place in our small, committed group – **max. 10 participants:** [click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨INFO & CONTACT✨** [contact@my-power.at,](http://contact@my-power.at,/) +43 68110779089 (Marco) **✨ IS THIS YOU? ✨** You keep **getting into the same arguments** with the people you love, again and again. You **hide** how you really feel, and it’s exhausting. You know there’s more inside you — more joy, more life — but you **hold it back.** And you **worry** that nothing will ever change. Discover how you can **stop surviving and start thriving.** You can learn to: * **Welcome all parts of you** * Respond to life in a thoughtful and **intentional way** * Let your **joy, creativity and talents** shine without shame and be appreciated by others. **Do you need this?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) ✨**A DAY AT OUR IMMERSION**✨ Imagine waking up to the warm scent of wood. A fresh organic breakfast is waiting. You are not alone: you’re part of a small, committed group, who is learning to meet life with honesty and care. We gather in a circle. You arrive in your body, breathe, and let the nervous system soften. On the mats you meet yourself and others through Playfight, not to win but to listen. You remember what your body needs. Emotions become a resource, not a burden. You learn to meet your shadow with self-love, and your light as a gift to share. This is what we offer. **Do you want to be part?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨WELCOME HOME TO YOURSELF✨** We all have parts of ourselves we’d rather hide. Our fears, anger, shame – but also our brilliance, joy, and creativity. This creates well-known inner conflicts. What we repress doesn’t disappear: it shows up in our behaviours, relationships, and how we limit ourselves. * **The shadow side** is made of the parts of ourselves we don’t want to admit or even notice. When ignored, it rules us. When integrated, it becomes a source of strength. * **The light shadow** is the brilliance we repress because it feels “too much” – our radiance, creativity, vitality. By hiding it, we make ourselves smaller. In Playfight, we meet both our wounds and our strengths. We learn to stop fighting ourselves. Meet your shadow *and* your hidden light. Allow integration to happen and balance to emerge. **It’s time to feel *whole* again.** **Welcome all parts of you back home.** Facing your shadow doesn’t make you darker: it allows you to free your inner light. When you face what you’ve been avoiding, you can discover the strength, clarity, and balance that comes from integration. **Are you ready to meet yourself?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨THE JOURNEY WE DESIGNED FOR YOU – *Group Support & Individual Focus*✨** This immersion offers you **group exploration** and **personal coaching**: **– Playfight** – Step into an embodied space where you can meet your shadow and your light through direct, physical experience. **– Shadow/light work** – Go beyond words as you face the parts you usually hide, embrace your strengths, and discover your brilliance waiting to shine. **– Individual “Expand Your Light” Coaching Session** – Expand your experience through a personal session tailored to you – you can choose to have it before, during, or after the event, based on availability. Use it to prepare, find your focus or integrate – bring your insights into your daily life. **– Relational and embodied exercises** – You’ll explore honest, real connection with others, uncover hidden patterns, and gently cultivate self-love. 💡 *You don’t need any experience. Just curiosity, a willingness to play, and the courage to be real.* **Questions?** Talk to us: [contact@my-power.at](mailto:contact@my-power.at) **Are you ready to start this journey?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨SCHEDULE✨** **Arrival:** Jan 2, 17:00 **Opening Session:** Jan 2, 20:00 **Closing:** Jan 5, 17:00 **Daily activities:** 09:30 – 18:30 (with breaks) **Language:** English (basic) *Your presence supports group trust and allows deeper processes to unfold, while still leaving space for rest and self-care.

The venue offers: – **single rooms:** €38 per night + optional bedding and tourist tax – **double rooms:** €28 + optional bedding and tourist tax You can select your preferred room type during registration, subject to availability. **✨WE CREATE A SAFER SPACE TOGETHER✨** **To support clarity, honesty, and depth, this is a sober space:** – No alcohol or perception-altering substances – You’re invited – but not forced – to go without caffeine and nicotine, to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm – We create this space together – through presence, care, and mutual trust. We mostly work in a circle as equals, learning to navigate moments of collective uncertainty with curiosity, and appreciating one another as mirrors for our patterns, shadows, and light. **✨ YOUR FACILITATION TEAM ✨** Hi, I’m **Marco Moriggi**, a Playfight facilitator and Lebens- und Sozialberater (Life Coach) in training. In my workshops, **vulnerability and strength go hand in hand**. Body-based connection goes beyond words. Self-responsibility is a pillar for community support. And playing together becomes a meaningful way to discover something new about yourself. I would love helping you to get in touch with your emotions and transform your life. I host this Immersion with **Fabio Bisotti** – who is a Playfight Trainer Practitioner, somatic trainer, trauma-informed practitioner, and systemic constellations coach.

Through mindful physical play and non-violent fighting, you reconnect with your inner child and discover your inner strength – instinct, boundaries, and wild side. You re-learn to listen to your body’s intelligence, and touch becomes again natural, innocent, and respectful – free from sexuality or romance. Whether you feel playful or unsure, confident or curious: all of you is welcome here. Our circles are held with care in a trauma-informed way. **Do you want to try it?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨MORE THAN PLAY: A TOOL FOR PERSONAL GROWTH✨** In a Playfight circle, fully engaged in movement and action, you can **explore more of who you are**. Playfight becomes a mirror that reveals what words alone sometimes can’t reach – integrating body, emotions, and mind. What begins as play soon becomes a doorway to growth, empowerment, and real connection – with yourself, with others, and with life. Playfight helps you l**et go of old habits and practice new skills for everyday life.** In play, your body and mind wake up, open, and learn. **Step beyond your comfort zone** and into the sweet spot where growth begins. No experience needed – just a willingness to show up authentically. Spots are limited to 10 participants. Reserve yours today. **Are you ready to playfight with your shadow and free your light?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) Info: [contact@my-power.at](mailto:contact@my-power.at) See you on the playfight mats! ### **✨ STAY CONNECTED ✨** * **[Website & Newsletter](https://playfight.my-power.at/)** * **[Signal Group](https://signal.group/#CjQKIDKi-fEAn-mYs4BItlN8UZksyf0CGhZDZtXVoMwMi_t0EhByoQkGCYMY-S-DynQ4qQjn)** * **[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/marco_my_power/)**

**Caller: Gaye Fifer** **Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
