## [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

Agenda: 18:00 Doors Open 18:20 Intro/Sponsor Welcome 18:30 Doors Closed! (the reception on the ground floor will not be served anymore.. come early!) 18:30 **Here we go again: Java26 / Dominik Dorn** 19:30 Break, Food, Drinks 19:55 Raffle 20:00 **Java-UIs modernisieren ohne JavaScript — Webswing & webforJ in der Praxis / Stephan Wald** 21:00 Networking Talk 1: **Here we go again: Java 26** We'll explore everything new in Java 26! **Java-UIs modernisieren ohne JavaScript — Webswing & webforJ in der Praxis / Stephan Wald** Ihr habt eine Swing-Anwendung. Oder Eclipse RCP. Oder Oracle Forms. Das Management will sie „im Browser". Der Reflex: React-Frontend, REST-APIs, JavaScript-Entwickler einstellen, zwei Stacks pflegen. Aber muss das sein? Es gibt inzwischen mehrere Java-native Ansätze für Web-UIs — ihr kennt vermutlich einige davon aus früheren Meetups. Die meisten setzen voraus, dass ihr eure UI von Grund auf neu schreibt und bestehenden Code hinter REST-APIs kapselt. Unser Ansatz ist ein anderer: Wir zeigen einen **zweistufigen Migrationspfad**, der mit der unveränderten Bestandsanwendung im Browser startet und die Modernisierung dann Bildschirm für Bildschirm vorantreibt — ohne den Betrieb zu unterbrechen und ohne eine zweite Technologie einzuführen. Im ersten Schritt kommt **Webswing** zum Einsatz — eine Laufzeitumgebung, die Java-Desktop-Anwendungen (Swing, JavaFX, SWT, Eclipse RCP) unverändert im Browser bereitstellt, indem sie auf Toolkit-Ebene in die AWT-Pipeline eingreift und das Rendering über HTML5 Canvas und WebSocket an den Client streamt. Im zweiten Schritt zeigen wir **webforJ** — ein Open-Source-Framework (Apache 2.0), mit dem moderne Web-UIs komponentenbasiert in purem Java entstehen: Routing, Data Binding, responsive Layouts, Spring-Boot-Integration — ohne eine Zeile JavaScript. Der technische Kern des Abends: * **Webswing unter der Haube:** Wie die Custom-`Toolkit`-Implementierung funktioniert, was auf Server- vs. Client-Seite passiert, und wo die Latenz-Grenzen liegen * **webforJ-Architektur:** Server-seitiges Component Model auf Basis von DWC (Dynamic Web Client) Web Components, Event-Handling im Vergleich zum Swing-Listener-Modell, Layout-System (`FlexLayout` vs. `BorderLayout`) * **`WebswingConnector`:** Die Integrationsbrücke — wie eine webforJ-Anwendung eine Webswing-Session einbettet und bidirektionale Kommunikation zwischen Legacy-Swing-Code und modernem UI ermöglicht * **Live-Code:** Vom minimalen webforJ-Hello-World bis zur Hybrid-App mit eingebettetem Swing-Panel — wir bauen es vor euren Augen * **Ehrliche Trade-offs:** Wann dieser Ansatz passt, wann nicht — und was er im Vergleich zu einem reinen UI-Framework-Wechsel bringt und kostet Wir bringen einen Praxisbericht mit: Ein niederländischer ERP-Anbieter hat mit einem kleinen Team in vier Monaten die ersten Web-Module produktiv geschaltet — ohne JavaScript-Expertise im Haus. **About the Speaker** Stephan Wald entwickelt seit über 35 Jahren Enterprise-Software, seit über 20 Jahren in Java. Seine Erfahrung umfasst C++, C#, mehrere Business-Basic-Dialekte sowie heute primär Java. Als Head of Development und Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung bei BASIS International Ltd. (Albuquerque, USA) verantwortet er die Entwicklung des webforJ-Frameworks, eines Single-Stack-UI-Frameworks für geschäftskritische Java- und Kotlin-Anwendungen in mittelständischen und großen Unternehmen weltweit. Parallel baut er mit [SkillsPilot.de](http://skillspilot.de/) eine KI-gestützte SaaS-Plattform im HR-Consulting, die mit namhaften deutschen Unternehmen mit bis zu 20.000 Mitarbeitenden wächst.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

How to Be a Better Communicator Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? 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

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!

Ham radio operators, GMRS users, Meshtastic fans, software-defined radio nerds, makers, and technical and non-technical folks are all welcome. No experience required or expected. This month we have **WiFi HaLow: Introduction and Practical Use** with **Alex Barbur**. Details are are [core.radio](https://core.radio).
