Das Publikum erlebt hautnah, wie Comedy entsteht – ungeschönt, unzensiert und immer authentisch. ### 🍻 **The Comedy Pub – Dein Wohnzimmer für Stand-up Comedy** Unser gemütlicher Irish Pub im Herzen Wiens bietet die perfekte Atmosphäre für einen unvergesslichen Comedy-Abend. Genieße kühle Drinks, leckeres Pub-Essen und großartige Unterhaltung in Wiens erstem und einzigem Stand-up Comedy Club. ### 💡 **Warum ist der Eintritt frei? (Spenden willkommen!)** Comedy lebt vom Publikum! Lachen, Klatschen und manchmal auch Schweigen – jede Reaktion hilft den Comedians, ihre Jokes zu verbessern. Deshalb ist der Eintritt kostenlos, aber Spenden sind immer willkommen. Wenn du gelacht hast, zeig ein bisschen Liebe. Und wenn nicht… naja, vielleicht beim nächsten Mal! 😉 ### 🎟️ **Regeln für das Publikum:** Um die Show für alle angenehm zu gestalten, bitten wir um Folgendes: * Sei pünktlich – Comedy wartet nicht! * Höre zu und respektiere die Bühne. * Lachen ist erwünscht – und zwar laut! * Spenden sind willkommen, wenn du Spaß hattest. * Kein Gerede während der Show – lass die Comedians glänzen. * Kein Heckling – das wird nie gut enden. * Wenn du die Show störst, wirst du rausgeworfen – ohne Rückerstattung. 🎉 **Komm vorbei, lache mit uns und erlebe die besten deutschen Comedians Wiens live auf der Bühne!** #NaServus #OpenMicVienna #StandUpComedy #ComedyNight #WienLacht #DeutscheComedy #TheComedyPub #LachenIstGesund #HumorHochZehn #ViennaEvents #Lachgarantie #FunnyVienna #GermanComedy #Spendenbasis #OpenMicNight #WienEvents #ViennaLaughs #ComedyLovers #LiveComedy #LachenIstDieBesteMedizin #ViennaNightlife #StandUpShowcase #ComedyCommunity #LocalComedy #Lachkrampf #WienerHumor #HumorVerbindet #OpenStage #SpontanLachen #ComedyInWien

**THE LAST CEO** What if AI doesn't automate the factory floor — but the corner office? A CEO costs 300K+. They make decisions based on dashboards, quarterly reports, market data. Pattern-matching at the highest salary level. Exactly the thing AI is provably best at. The third AI Salon asks the uncomfortable question: If AI makes strategic decisions faster, cheaper, and more data-driven, what's left for the humans in the C-suite? We're bringing this to **Funkhaus Wien** \- Vienna's legendary former radio broadcasting house\. Brutalist architecture\, cathedral ceilings\, and a history of transmission\. The perfect stage for asking what still needs a human voice\. **Programme:** 🎤 **Opening** — Andreas Fraunberger, Can Nuri, Michael Raab 💬 **Keynote Conversation** — Betina Kitzler (MIT Sloan Fellow) × Andreas 🎨 **Artistic Intervention** — Sarah Rechberger (Transmedia Artist) 🧠 **Think Tank** — You decide: replace the CEO — yes or no? Then you design the org chart of 2030. 🎉 **Afterparty & Networking** Date: March 27, 2026, 6:30 PM Location: Funkhaus Wien, Argentinierstraße Language: English **brought to you by** [FUNKHAUS WIEN](https://www.funkhaus.wien/) [Fachgruppe UBIT der WKW](https://unternehmensberatung-und-wir.wien/) [AI Austria ](https://www.aiaustria.com/) [chim.ai](www.chim.ai) Thanks to Ruben Hetfleisch, Patrick Schabus, Philipp Lammer and many more for contribution **Note:** We increased Max Registrations to 140.

## [GET TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/scriptless-in-seattle-unscripted-improv-comedy-show-thecomedypub-tickets-1979235165660?aff=MeetUp) Unscripted, musical improv comedy straight from the USA! Scriptless in Seattle brings audience-driven chaos to Vienna. ## 🎤 About the Show **Scriptless in Seattle** is a high-energy, completely unscripted improv comedy show touring from the United States — and every single performance is created live, on the spot, with the audience. Often compared to *Whose Line Is It Anyway?*, Scriptless delivers a fast-paced evening of improvised scenes, musical numbers, and spontaneous madness where **nothing is planned and everything is possible**. The cast performs without scripts, cues, or safety nets — relying entirely on audience suggestions to shape the show. No two performances are ever the same, making each night a one-of-a-kind comedy experience. Some audience members will even be invited **onto the stage**, becoming part of the action and helping create moments that will never happen again. ## 🎶 What to Expect 🎭 Completely improvised comedy scenes 🎵 Live musical improv and audience-inspired songs 😂 Fast, clever, and unpredictable humor 🎤 Direct audience interaction and volunteer participation 🎩 A sharp, playful cast performing in classic tuxedos Whether you’re watching from your seat or suddenly finding yourself part of the show, Scriptless in Seattle guarantees big laughs, surprises, and unforgettable moments. ## 🎙 Meet the Cast ### **Justin Folger** Justin is the group manager and emcee of Scriptless in Seattle. He has never seen *Sleepless in Seattle* (ironically), but he somewhat relates to the title — just not the Seattle part. Justin has performed improv across the United States, Canada, and Europe, and doesn’t plan to stop until he’s done improv **in space**. ### **James Trombka** James has been performing improv since high school and truly believes in performing “without a net.” When he’s not on stage, he works as an Accessibility Specialist at Kent State University. His favorite improv game is *Hollywood Director*, and outside comedy he enjoys theater, photography, kayaking, and moonlit beach walks. 📸 Instagram: **@jtromdawg** ### **Charlie Hubbell** Charlie is the “music hippie” of Scriptless in Seattle. A music teacher from Ohio, he can turn anything — from a tuba to a tin can — into an instrument. He loves musical improv games, especially *Irish Drinking Song*. Charlie’s roots stretch from North Carolina to Vermont… and kind of New Hampshire too. ## 🎯 Who Is This Show For? ✔️ Fans of improv comedy ✔️ Lovers of *Whose Line Is It Anyway?* ✔️ Anyone who enjoys musical comedy ✔️ Groups of friends looking for a fun night out ✔️ Couples searching for a unique date night ✔️ Audiences who love being part of the show If you like comedy that’s spontaneous, interactive, and completely unpredictable — this show is for you. ## 🍻 About the Venue – The Comedy Pub **The Comedy Pub** is Vienna’s home for international stand-up and improv comedy. With an intimate stage, full bar, and lively atmosphere, it’s the perfect venue for an interactive improv show like Scriptless in Seattle. 📍 Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna 🚇 U4 Kettenbrückengasse ## 📅 Event Details 📆 **Date:** Friday, March 27th, 2026 🚪 **Doors open:** 20:30 🎤 **Show starts:** 21:00 ⏱ **Duration:** approx. 90 minutes 🗣 **Language:** English 🎟 **Tickets:** Available online 💺 Seating is limited – arrive early for the best seats! ## 💥 Why You Shouldn’t Miss It • A fully unscripted comedy show from the USA • Every performance is unique • Live musical improv • Direct audience participation • A rare chance to see touring American improv comedy in Vienna ### 🎟 **Scriptless in Seattle – Live Improvised Comedy** **March 27th\, 2026 \| The Comedy Pub\, Vienna**  #ScriptlessInSeattle #ImprovComedy #UnscriptedComedy #LiveImprov #ComedyVienna #TheComedyPub #EnglishComedyVienna #ImprovisedComedy #MusicalImprov #ViennaEvents #ComedyNightVienna #LiveComedyAustria #InteractiveComedy #WhoseLineStyle #ComedyTour #USComedy #ViennaNightlife

**IT Founder & Unternehmer Frühstück** Am Freitag, den 27.03., treffen wir uns wieder in kleiner Runde zum offenen Austausch unter IT-Foundern, Geschäftsführern und Unternehmern aus Wien.

Dear Austrians, **AI: The End of Work?** Join us for an engaging evening exploring the intersection of Austrian Economics, technological innovation, and the future of labor. We will discuss how AI may reshape labour, production, markets, and entrepreneurship. Are there limits of automation in economic processes? What about similar expectations in the past? What are the consequences for humanity? Will AIs earn salaries for their work? Format is a Socratic debate, the hosts provide complimentary drinks, you provide your thoughts and questions. As usual, we will meet at Vienna's Hayek Institute. I look forward to a lively debate. Yours, Hubertus

**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:** 1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring. 2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. **Introduction:** HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today. One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences. A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites. Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires. **The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:** **Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5** This class introduces the core concepts of web development, the history of HTML, and the fundamental structure of an HTML5 document. * **Topics**: * **Web Architecture Overview**: How browsers, servers, and web pages interact. * **HTML Fundamentals**: Understanding elements, tags, and attributes. * **Basic Document Structure**: Using !DOCTYPE html, html, head, and body. * **Text Formatting**: Headings (h1 to h6), paragraphs (p), and text-level semantics (e.g., strong, em, br). * **Lists and Links**: Creating ordered (ol) and unordered (ul) lists, and linking between pages using anchor tags (a). * **Activity**: Students create a basic personal webpage containing text, a list of hobbies, and a link to an external website. **Class 2: Semantic HTML5 and Multimedia Integration** Class 2 focuses on modern HTML5 elements that provide meaning (semantics) to content, improving accessibility and search engine optimization. It also covers adding images and multimedia. * **Topics**: * **Semantic Elements**: Understanding and implementing elements like header, footer, nav, section, and article. * **Images**: Adding images using the img tag and attributes like src, alt, width, and height. * **Multimedia**: Embedding audio and video content using the audio and video tags. * **File and Folder Structure**: Best practices for organizing project files and managing file paths. * **Activity**: Students refactor their Class 1 project to use a proper semantic layout and add an image and a link to a video file. **Class 3: Forms and User Input** This session is dedicated to building interactive HTML5 forms, which are essential for capturing user data and input. * **Topics**: * **Form Basics**: Using the form element, action and method attributes. * **Input Types**: Exploring various input types (e.g., text, password, checkbox, radio, date, submit). * **Form Elements**: Utilizing label, textarea, select, option, and button. * **Client-side Validation**: Implementing HTML5 validation attributes like required, minlength, and pattern. * **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation. **Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling** The final class introduces Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style the HTML content and make the web pages visually appealing and accessible. * **Topics**: * **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values. * **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets. * **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout. * **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment. * **Accessibility Basics**: Identifying principles of web design usability and accessibility, including ARIA labels. * **Activity**: Students apply an external CSS file to their Class 3 form project to style the layout, colors, and fonts, culminating in a well-structured and styled webpage.

**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.
