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!

**Show starts:** 20:00

## ✨ 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.

Innate Dance Class
**What is Innate Dance?**
Innate Dance is a joyful approach to movement, which invites deeper embodiment and self-connection through butoh inspired movement, Noguchi Taiso exercises, the Seki Method, somatic attention and imagination. We shake it out, breaking up stuck energy held in the body, and explore new movement possibilities from a place of alignment and sensitivity. Thanks to our open awareness we can be surprised by lesser-known parts of ourselves and come to appreciate our innate wisdom in movement. Through exercises, explorations and improvisations we build trust in the body that knows how it would like to move and express itself, and when we follow our innate dance, it just feels good! There is also time and space to dance freely, to enjoy the music in your body and to let go! Ultimately, it's about feeling more 'in' our body and grounding joy.
**When? Where? How much?**
**Mondays 19:30-21:00**
in Studio 2, Tanz\*Hotel, Zirkusgasse 35, 1020 Wien
Try out € 16\,\- \| One class drop\-in € 21\,\- \| Student € 10\,\- \| 5 x class pass €95\,\- \| 1 x class pass for rest of semester € 224\,\- \(or €16/class\)
**Who teaches the course?**
Jess is a dancer and psychotherapist (humanistic and integrative), who loves shaping classes that offer the space to explore the many facets of being human. Sometimes this learning involves physically embodying non-humans like trees, fish and wind, so we can get out of our limited-human-thinking-mind and into the bigger wisdom available through imagination and our body. At other times it's about dancing textures, sensations or taking on the energy of parts of ourselves so we can know them better. Jess has danced all her life and has been exploring butoh dance for the past eleven years alongside her psychotherapeutic practice. She is co-author of *The Seki Method - Basics* (now available to buy online via website), is a Seki Method Facilitator, and was a 2024 student at the Im_Flieger Schule researching dance and healing.

🎳 Let’s play skittles! „Queer Kegeln“
Join our monthly “Queer Kegelabend”, which is mostly a pure fun event with a slight sportive touch. No previous experience required. Beginners and all genders most welcome! It is our ambition to welcome a broadly diversified crowd! Your own omfortable footwear might contribute to an enjoyable evening.
**Schedule:**
1. 19:20 Get together
2. 19:25 Instructions (including safety), line-up of participants
3. 19:30 Getting started
* *Latecomers unfortunately can´t be admitted.*
* *Please bring a few EUR 1 coins to keep the coin operated machinery going.*
There is no drinks or food service in the basement (Kegelbahn) of Café Weidinger. So feel free to order something on arrival and take it downstairs before we get started. Alternatively bring your own drinks or food. Yes, this is possible!
Its chatting, meeting (new) people, catching-up with the ones you might already know from our monthly MeetUps at the HIVE or other events. Communication is key, like always. Let’s enjoy a nice evening together with a modest sportive touch on the side!
**Please show respect to the others and arrive on time.** As we need to line-up the players before getting starteted, hence late comers unfortunately can´t be admitted.
**What is skittles play (Kegeln)?**
Skittles play has a very long tradition in Europe and is the game before the Americans "invented" bowling. So we will play with 9 pins and smaller balls with less weight compared to bowling.
**Costs:** To rent the skittle alley is just EUR 8 per hour for the whole group. We will divide costs by the number of participants.
So expect a contribution of around *EUR 2-3 for the whole evening*. The number of participants is limited.
The machinery of the skittle alley is coin operated and accepts EUR 1 coins only. So please bring along a few EUR 1 coins to keep the machinery going!
**Participation Fee:** To help cover the Meetup maintenance fee, we recommend a donation of 1-2 Euros directly to the organizers.
**Results:** The results of the evening (Igo is so kind to count the scores and enters theses for each participant in a spreadsheet) are published in the "pictures" area of the MeetUp. Historic results are availble there.
**Cafe Weidinger** has not been renovated over the last at least 50 years.
The skittles alley dates from 1964. You can feel this "special flair". A bit shaby, but inexpensive fun for a whole evening.
It´s almost a museum of a skittles alley.
**The difference between bowling and skittles play**:
* The bowling lanes are covered with an oil film, the skittles lane is not.
* In bowling, the ball is is considerably larger and heavier.
* Bowling lanes are slightly curved, our lane is flat.
* Bowling balls have three holes, our balls have none, one or two. Most of our balls have two holes.
* Nine pins are thrown instead of ten.
* In bowling, the pins are set up by so-called pin-setter machines and therefore stand freely in contrast to skittles, where the pins hang from strings.
* Our skittles lane is an asphalt lane.
* You do not need to rent or bring special shoes llike for bowling. But to play in sneakers or sportive footwear is more comfortable.
Badminton for Intermediate Players (Thu 19.00h-21.00h) U3 Kendlerstraße
Hey Badminton Enthusiasts!
**This meet-up is only for intermediate players and up!**
Everyone is welcome to join our large weekly events, test their skills and have some fun together! However, ***this event is for the people that want to push their skill forward and would like to play during the week as well.***
The host will reserve courts in advance, that means please only register if you really plan to come (or cancel at least 24 hours before the event starts). The fee for this event is 12€:
* If you plan on paying in cash, please bring the exact amount as the host might not have any change available
* you can also pay via card on the spot
We are meeting at about 18.55 pm near the reception by the lounge area (next to the courts). Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. The locker rooms are free to use, but for the men lockers you need a padlock - or you can also take your bag of clothes upstairs to the courts if you do not have a padlock. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes, your racket and a water bottle with you.
If you are just passing through town and do not have a racket, it is possible to rent rackets, either from the club or from us. Sometimes the host or other members have spare rackets - please ask in the comment section below!
If you are joining our events for the first time, **WELCOME!** We are an open and friendly group and we are sure you will develop connections with the people in our community in no time!
Without further ado - let's play some (intermediate) badminton and have fun together!
ADVANCED badminton players wanted!
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.

Man of the House | Nemanja Živanović | English StandUp Comedy @TheComedyPub
## [GET TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/man-of-the-house-nemanja-zivanovic-english-standup-comedy-thecomedypub-tickets-1979016725299?aff=MeetUp)
A brutally honest stand-up show about modern fatherhood, marriage & expectations. Nemanja Živanović live in Vienna, Feb 27.
## **MAN OF THE HOUSE**
### **Nemanja Živanović Live in Vienna**
**An Honest, Sharp & Hilarious English Stand-Up Comedy Special @TheComedyPub**
**Friday, February 27th, 2026**
**Doors:** 20:30 \| **Show:** 21:00
**The Comedy Pub**, Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna
**Language:** English
**Age:** 18+
## About the Show
**Man of the House** is a full-length English stand-up comedy show about adulthood arriving whether you’re ready or not.
In this sharp, personal, and deeply relatable hour, **Nemanja Živanović** explores what happens when a man becomes a stay-at-home father — and slowly realizes that everything he thought he knew about responsibility, masculinity, marriage, and “having it together” was wildly optimistic.
This is comedy about:
* becoming a parent without becoming a superhero
* modern fatherhood without clichés or sentimentality
* marriage as a daily negotiation
* gender roles that no longer make sense
* expectations vs. reality
* and the quiet chaos of adult life
Told with honesty, precision, and a strong observational edge, *Man of the House* finds humor in the moments no one prepares you for — the small decisions, the compromises, and the internal monologue you never say out loud.
This is not parenting comedy.
This is **life comedy**, seen from the inside.
## What Makes This Show Special
Nemanja doesn’t perform characters or exaggerations — he performs **truth**.
The kind that sneaks up on you, makes you laugh hard, and then makes you realize why.
The show is:
* Smart but never preachy
* Personal without being self-pitying
* Honest without being bitter
* Relatable whether you’re a parent or not
Whether you have kids, are thinking about it, or are simply watching your friends disappear into adulthood — this show will hit home.
## About the Comedian
**Nemanja Živanović** is an internationally touring stand-up comedian.
He spent the first five years of his career performing across the Balkans in Serbian, before transitioning to English and building a European audience.
**Winner – Prague Funniest 2023**
Nemanja’s comedy is grounded, observational, and precise — shaped by real experience rather than trends. His material focuses on relationships, identity, family, and the quiet absurdities of modern life.
## Who Is This Show For?
✔️ Fans of smart, story-driven stand-up
✔️ Parents and non-parents alike
✔️ People navigating adulthood, relationships, and expectations
✔️ Expats and international audiences
✔️ Couples looking for a thoughtful, funny date night
✔️ Anyone who enjoys comedy that goes deeper than punchlines
If you like stand-up that feels **real**, this is your show.
## Venue: The Comedy Pub Vienna
Vienna’s home for international stand-up comedy.
An intimate venue with a full bar, a warm crowd, and a true comedy-club atmosphere — the perfect setting for a personal solo show.

## Final Note
*Man of the House* is a comedy show about trying to do the right thing — and realizing there may not be a clear definition of what that even means anymore.
If you enjoy stand-up that’s honest, thoughtful, and genuinely funny, don’t miss **Nemanja Živanović live in Vienna**.
Nemanja Živanović brings his English stand-up special *Man of the House* to Vienna. A sharp, honest comedy about fatherhood & modern life. Feb 27 @ The Comedy Pub.

Contra dance with Big Scioty on March 7 - First Congregational Church
**Caller: Frank Buschelmann**
**Band: The Rosenthorns**
**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!

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**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**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.
