## [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

We’ll be pairing the cinematic magic of the 1920s with a curated selection of wines that bridge the gap between the Old World and the New. The movie: [Midnight in Paris](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAfR8omt-CY) After a "welcome glass" of wine we are going to try the following tasty wines: **🍷 Rose Wines** 1\. France / Provence : Studio by Miraval Rosé 2025 2\. France: Hecht & Bannier Côtes de Provence Rosé 2025 **🍷 Red Wine** 🇮🇹 3\. Spain: Marqués de Sorní Gran Reserva 2019 4\. Spain: Casa del Rey Gran Reserva 2016 5\. Australia: Cabernet Shiraz 2024 6\. Italy: Barbanera Vecciano Collezione Privata 2023 ### 🎬 Featured Film: Midnight in Paris Step into the rainy streets of the City of Light with this enchanting, Academy Award-winning tale of nostalgia and discovery. The story follows Gil Pender, a disillusioned Hollywood screenwriter who wanders the cobblestone alleys of Paris, searching for the inspiration to finish his first novel. When the clock strikes twelve, a mysterious vintage car appears, whisking Gil away on a journey through time to the 1920s "Golden Age." As he rubs elbows with legendary icons like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Salvador Dalí, Gil begins to realize that while the past is intoxicating, the real magic happens when we embrace the present. It’s a love letter to art, history, and the idea that some things—like a good story or a fine vintage—only get better with time. **💶 Participation Fee** 25€ per person for Silver Members 30€ per person for Basic Members **👉 Cash only, please.** **No‑shows will be removed from the group** — let’s keep this community respectful and enjoyable for everyone. ⭐ Optional: Support the Group Until now, I’ve covered all costs for running this group (Meetup fees, organization, etc.) myself. To keep the community growing, I’m introducing a system that also rewards regular participants and supporters of ExPat’s Island. 🌟 Become a Silver Member Silver Members enjoy: Discounts on wine tastings Discounts on guided tours Priority access for certain events Annual fee: 15€ (Available at every tasting or tour, payable in cash.) If you enjoy these events and want to support the work behind them, this is a great way to help the group thrive. **🍷 Join me on this little adventure!** Looking forward to sharing great wines and great company with you.

Club de carte - Literatură scrisă în limba română – Viena Îți place să citești și ți-ar plăcea să vorbești despre cărți cu oameni care împărtășesc aceeași bucurie? Lansăm un club de carte scrisă în limba română, la Viena, dedicat tuturor celor care vor să transforme lectura într-o experiență împărtășită. Ne dorim întâlniri relaxate, cu conversații autentice, opinii diferite, râsete, poate și mici controverse – exact așa cum se întâmplă atunci când o carte chiar ne pune pe gânduri. Clubul este deschis celor care trăiesc în Viena și citesc sau vor să înceapă să citească literatură scrisă în limba română, dar și oricui se simte conectat la limba română. Într-un oraș atât de divers precum Viena, astfel de întâlniri sunt o ocazie frumoasă de a crea legături, de a ne regăsi prin povești și de a construi o mică comunitate în jurul cărților. Nu contează cât de mult sau cât de repede citești. Contează să îți dorești să fii acolo și să împărtășești ce ai simțit citind. ⸻ 📖 Cartea cu care începem: Kinderland de Liliana Corobca Ebook disponibil: [https://www.libris.ro/ebook/ebook-kinderland-liliana-corobca/12972084](https://www.libris.ro/ebook/ebook-kinderland-liliana-corobca/12972084) Scribd: [https://www.scribd.com/document/731993970/Corobca-Liliana-Kinderland-retail](https://www.scribd.com/document/731993970/Corobca-Liliana-Kinderland-retail) 📍 Locația: Europe Direct Wien - Europazentrum Wien Lassingleithnerpl. 2/3, 1020 Wien 🗓 Data și ora: Sâmbătă 25.04.26, 16:00 Coordonatoare: Liuba Rusnac, scriitoare 🔗 Link înscriere / detalii: moldor.org@gmail.com Dacă vrei ca lectura să nu mai fie doar un moment solitar, ci începutul unei conversații, te așteptăm cu drag.

***Is a strong sense of personal identity helpful in understanding the world and others?*** *Or does it inevitably distort what we see? How much can we shape our identity and how should it be done?* In this session of **Marginal Thoughts**, we will consider the role of personal identity - 'the self' - in making sense of the world. Before our different selves make sense of this topic, we'll read three short pieces: * A short story by Andy Weir: ["The Egg"](https://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg.html) (\~10 min; alternative: [animated adaptation by Kurzgesagt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fcK_fRYaI)) * An essay by Paul Graham: ["Keep Your Identity Small"](https://paulgraham.com/identity.html) (\~8 min) * A poem by Stanley Kunitz: ["The Layers"](https://poets.org/poem/layers) (\~2 min) In these, Andy Weir diagnoses the universe with multiple personality disorder, Paul Graham urges people to do a 'Marie Kondo' on their identities, and Stanley Kunitz likens himself to a lasagna. **How to prepare** Please read all the materials in advance. As you do, try to identify at least one point of curiosity, confusion, or uncertainty - these will be natural starting points for our discussion. **What to expect** This is an in-person, conversational meetup in English. The goal isn't to debate, lecture, or "confess" - it’s to explore ideas and leave with better questions than we arrived with. **Optional stuff for the extra curious** Julia Galef in her book ["The Scout Mindset"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scout_Mindset) examines the relationship between identity and truth-seeking, and expands on the idea of keeping one's identity small (the most relevant chapter is also the topic of [this animated short](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxqTOm3TzsY)). When it comes to identity, Borges made it too difficult to choose a single piece (e.g., "The Nothingness of Personality", "Borges and I", "The Other", etc.). For the interested, [this Marginalian article](https://www.themarginalian.org/2017/04/03/the-nothingness-of-personality-borges/) offers a tempting rabbit hole of links.

Welcome to our cozy **The Psychology and Personal Growth Circle** which is part of the Social Book Club! We will meet to discuss the book “**Antifragile**" (426 pages) written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. The idea is to connect with like minded readers that love to grow and get to know themselves better through reading and especially applying knowledge from books. We meet up once a month and talk about our progress applying knowledge from a certain book and our experience. The event will take place at the volunteer organisation **MUT**. It is an organisation to supports humans, animals and the environment especially in Vienna. MUT or the Social Book Club look forward to some donation to cover the cost of this event. If you would like to help, please bring some cash with you. Book Description: In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem; in *Antifragile* he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what he calls the "antifragile" is one step beyond robust, as it benefits from adversity, uncertainty and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. See you then! All the best Sebastian

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.

Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
