## [GET TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/double-trouble-mike-pozo-saeed-helali-live-thecomedypub-tickets-1983496243659?aff=MeetUp) Two headliners. Two opposite styles. One chaotic night of sharp, raw English stand-up comedy in Vienna. ## DOUBLE TROUBLE ### Two comedians. Two worlds. One stage. On **April 10, 2026**, Double Trouble returns to **The Comedy Pub Vienna** with a premium double-header featuring **Mike Pozo** and **Saeed Helali**. This isn’t an open mic. It’s not a standard showcase. And it’s not a solo tour show. It’s the sweet spot in between — two professional comedians delivering extended, high-impact headline sets in one tight, electric 90-minute night. ## 🎤 Mike Pozo – High Energy. Raw. Unfiltered. Mike Pozo hits the stage like he owns it. High energy. Dirty. Extremely likeable. From his multicultural background to life in China, from marriage to fatherhood, Mike turns his personal chaos into punchlines that hit hard and fast. Expect: * Big storytelling with sharp twists * Fearless crowdwork * Honest takes on relationships and family life * That dangerous mix of warmth and zero filter Mike doesn’t warm up a room — he detonates it. ## 🎤 Saeed Helali – Dark. Dry. Intellectually Dangerous. Then the room shifts. Saeed Helali brings razor-sharp deadpan energy, stream-of-consciousness dark thoughts, and intellectual absurdity that sneaks up on you before it lands. Expect: * Existential shower thoughts you shouldn’t laugh at (but will) * Clever, subtle punchlines * Calm delivery with devastating precision * Comedy that makes you think and laugh at the same time Where Mike explodes outward, Saeed pulls you inward. And that contrast? That’s the magic. ## ⚡ Why Double Trouble Is Different Double Trouble gives comedians space. Longer sets. Bigger risks. Sharper material. It’s more developed than a showcase and more dynamic than a solo show. No filler. No randomness. No amateurs. Just two pros doing what they do best. ## 👥 Who This Is For ✔ Fans of smart, edgy English stand-up ✔ Casual night-out crowds who want guaranteed laughs ✔ Date nights that can handle dark humor ✔ Comedy lovers who appreciate strong headline sets ✔ Expats & locals looking for top-tier comedy in Vienna ## 📅 Event Details 📍 The Comedy Pub – Vienna 📅 April 10, 2026 🚪 Doors: 20:30 🎤 Show: 21:00 🗣 Language: English 🔞 18+ ⏱ Duration: 90 minutes Limited seating. First come, first served. This is one night. Two very different minds. Zero safety nets. #DoubleTroubleComedy #MikePozo #SaeedHelali #EnglishComedyVienna #StandUpVienna #ComedyVienna #LiveComedyAustria #TheComedyPub #ViennaComedyNight #ExpatComedyVienna #ComedyShowVienna #HeadlinerComedy #InternationalComedians #ThingsToDoInVienna #ViennaEvents #StandUpInVienna #EnglishStandUp #ComedyInAustria

First and foremost - join our Telegram Channel! [https://t.me/cinetour](https://t.me/cinetour) Boston medical resident Susan Wheeler (Geneviève Bujold) becomes suspicious when her friend (Lois Chiles) is left in an irreversible coma after a routine procedure. Once she uncovers evidence of other patients being left in comas after undergoing procedures in the same operating room, she fears a conspiracy is afoot. When her physician boyfriend, Mark Bellows (Michael Douglas), is skeptical about her findings, Susan must go it alone to uncover the horrible truth. \*\*\* *HOW* **If you can't find us before/after the movie, write me a PM (Farit, the host) or post a message to this event, I monitor it during the meetup and will pick you up.** We meet at 18:30 at Breitenseer Biergartl (Huttengasse 1), and and shortly before the movie we go together to the theatre. [Buy tickets - Coma](https://breitenseer-lichtspiele.at/event/retro-vision-coma-1978) We recommend to buy your ticket as soon as possible! Usually, after the movie we just chat a bit about it for a moment in front of the cinema. So don't run away, if you don't have to. #102

Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles. Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator. WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion. **FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends! Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a €6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution. **FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.

...and speaking of breakthrough roles: who can forget the first time we saw Tom Cruise singing Bob Seeger in his underwear? Often considered an updated 1983 version of The Graduate, the movie sparkles with memorable lines and original music. I only regret that I was never told that "Princeton could use someone like Bob..." See the movie first and join us for some "Cruisin'"

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
