Joe Bill – last time, all of his workshops were sold out within a day – so be quick! We are offering a variety of topics and lengths with him. Try out his famous "The Bat" format, find a new duo partner, and learn about curiosity and suspicion. **APR 17 The BAT - 6h Format Workshop** In this workshop I will take you through the experience of one of my signature formats, The Bat, which is essentially a longform improv piece that players play with their eyes closed for an audience who experiences your “theater of the mind” as they sit in a darkened theater. The Bat may contain elements of both Narrative and Freestyle long form sensibilities, and each is somewhat a unique reflection of the collective personalities of the players who perform it. It is truly a joy ride in the dark. More Info & Registration [here](https://www.yesticket.org/event/en/the-bat-17-04-26/) **APR 18-19 The DUO Mixer** 12h Intensive with Showcase You will come as yourself (without a duo partner!) and after an hour or so of my observing your improvising in some scenes and exercises, I’ll pair you with another person and take you through the process of the beginning steps of Duo Play. I will watch the Duo Showcase and take notes and then on Day 2 I will give feedback. These steps will be very helpful to experience, whether you remain with the Duo partner or to begin working in another Duo going forward. More Info & Registration [here](https://www.yesticket.org/event/en/the-duo-mixer-18-04-26/) **APR 20 - 6 PM - Playing With Curiosity & Suspicion** 3h Workshop The way that character might listen to their scene partner in order to find the connection and understand what the scene is about as quickly as possible is the goal of this workshop. I will show you how to listen through Curiosity and Suspicion and pay attention to the mix of Circumstances and Interpersonal words and cues. More Info & Registration [here](https://www.yesticket.org/event/en/playing-with-curiosity-suspicion-20-04-26/) Please use the links to sign up!

🎊 2026 – such an astrologically momentous year! With significant planetary shifts and super rare cosmic alignments on the horizon, there's no better time to deepen your connection with yourself and understand what this unbelievable year has in store. **Why Astrology?** Astrology is a symbolic language 🌌 and, as such, it is the ideal method for understanding and connecting with our unconscious.

Rather, what you can expect here is a fun, guided experience, mixing astrology with **creative journaling** ✍️ and **meditative reflection** 🧘. You will get a chance to flex your intuitive muscles and also meet some like-minded seekers and thinkers. After this session, you will understand how astrology can be used to forge a deeper connection with yourself and access more of the magic you carry. **What to Expect:** This cozy session will give you the chance to connect with peers and become more mindful of your astrology journey through deeper understanding and perspectives. Every week we are working on a different topic, question, chart placement, etc. Feel free to become a regular, or drop by whenever you wish. 🌙 We will begin the session with an introduction of all participants ⭐ We will then guide you through various exercises in small groups, meant to help you to explore the wealth that astrology has in store for you. 💬 The session will conclude with an open discussion, and a chance to ask any questions. **Who Should Attend:** This session is open to complete beginners 🌱 as well as those who have experience with astrology. It is recommended to have your birth chart available. To generate your chart, I recommend using the website ***astro.com*** 💰This event is offered COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE but donations are more than welcome. You can donate using **PayPal** (paypal.me/furtunadincarpati) or **Revolut** (revolut.me/misterclarity).

**Deutschsprachiges Comedy Open Mic in Wien. Lachflash statt Tatort – der perfekte Sonntagabend mit neuen Comedians & freiem Eintritt.** # [HOL DIR DEINE TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/lachflash-comedy-open-mic-dein-sonntag-thecomedypub-endet-mit-lachen-tickets-8QGW97?ref=MeetUp) Sonntagabend und du überlegst, ob du dich mit Netflix aufs Sofa wirfst oder dich schon auf den Montag vorbereitest? Falsch gedacht! 😏 Wien hat jetzt eine bessere Antwort: **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic**. Jeden Sonntag um 18:00 wird *The Comedy Pub* zur Bühne für deutschsprachige Stand-up-Comedy – roh, echt, witzig, manchmal absurd und immer überraschend. Der perfekte Wochenend-Ausklang für alle, die nicht aufhören wollen zu lachen. **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist das große Finale des Wochenendes. Hier bekommst du einen wilden Mix aus **Newcomern**, die ihre ersten Schritte auf der Bühne machen, und **erfahrenen Comedians**, die neues Material ausprobieren. Manchmal entstehen hier Jokes, die in ein Jahr später in Specials oder Fernsehsendungen landen. Manchmal scheitert ein Gag glorreich – und genau das sorgt für die lautesten Lacher des Abends. Mit **vielen Comedians pro Show** (oft mehr als 10!) erwartet dich ein abwechslungsreicher Abend: * Überraschende neue Stimmen, die dich mit ganz frischem Humor überraschen * Kreative Experimente, die kein Mainstream-Comedy-Club sich trauen würde * Scharfe Pointen von erfahrenen Comedians, die genau wissen, wie man eine Crowd zum Toben bringt Kein Sonntag gleicht dem anderen. Jede Show hat ein komplett neues Line-up – das macht **Lachflash** zu einer Serie, die man immer wieder besuchen kann. Und das Beste: Hier ist das Publikum nicht nur dabei, sondern ein aktiver Teil des Abends. Deine Lacher, dein Applaus, dein Staunen – all das beeinflusst, wie die Comedians ihre Jokes entwickeln. ## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic? Ein Open Mic ist das Herzstück der Stand-up-Szene. Es ist keine perfekt inszenierte Show – sondern ein Ort, an dem Comedy entsteht. Hier probieren Comedians ihre neuesten Texte aus, feilen am Timing, improvisieren mit dem Publikum und lernen, was funktioniert. Das heißt: * Manchmal knallt ein Joke sofort – und alle feiern. * Manchmal floppt eine Pointe – und genau daraus wird ein unvergesslicher Moment. * Immer aber ist es spannend, nahbar und authentisch. Wenn du echte Comedy erleben willst – ohne Filter, ohne Drehbuch, ohne Sicherungsnetz – dann ist ein Open Mic genau dein Ding. Und **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist Wiens neue Adresse dafür am Sonntag. ## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Das Zuhause der Stand-up-Comedy in Wien Die Show findet im **The Comedy Pub** (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien) statt – Wiens erster und einziger echter Comedy-Club. Während andere Bars ab und zu Comedy hosten, ist das hier das Zentrum einer Szene. Oben erwartet dich ein gemütlicher Irish Pub mit Drinks, Snacks und freundlicher Atmosphäre. Unten im Altbaukeller – oder im offenen Pub-Bereich – wird jede Woche Stand-up gespielt, getestet und gefeiert. Die Location ist bekannt für ihr **nahbares, internationales Publikum** und ihr warmes, intimes Ambiente. Und das Beste: mit der U-Bahn-Station **Kettenbrückengasse (U4)** direkt vor der Tür bist du in wenigen Minuten mitten im Geschehen. ## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen Comedy lebt von Community. Damit möglichst viele Menschen Stand-up erleben können, ist der Eintritt frei. Aber: Lachen ist wertvoll – und wenn du einen **Lachflash** hattest, dann zeig das! Am Ende der Show geht ein Hut rum, in den du geben kannst, was es dir wert war. Fair, direkt und die ehrlichste Form von Applaus. ## 🎟️ Regeln fürs Publikum Damit die Show für alle ein Erlebnis wird, bitten wir dich um ein paar einfache Dinge: * Sei pünktlich – die Türen öffnen 17:30, Showstart ist 18:00. * Hör zu und respektiere die Bühne – Comedians geben hier alles. * Lachen ist Pflicht – und zwar ohne Zurückhaltung! * Kein Heckling – die Gags kommen von den Profis. 😉 * Spenden sind willkommen – support your local comedy! ## 🎉 Warum Sonntag? Viele denken: Sonntagabend = Couch, Serien, früh ins Bett. Aber warum so trist? **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist der perfekte Gegenentwurf: eine Show voller Energie, Lachen und Überraschungen – bevor der Montag wieder ernst wird. * Es ist der **perfekte Wochenend-Ausklang** – Comedy statt Tatort! * Ein Fixpunkt, der dich mit einem Lächeln in die Woche schickt. * Ein Raum, in dem du neue Comedians entdeckst, die du sonst nie gesehen hättest. * Und: die einzige regelmäßige deutsche Comedy-Show am Sonntag in Wien – im einzigen Comedy Club der Stadt. Kurz gesagt: Sonntag gehört jetzt nicht mehr dem Montagsblues, sondern dem Lachflash. #LachflashComedy #ComedyWien #StandupWien #OpenMicWien #DeutschComedy #WienLacht #ComedyNightWien #ComedyClubWien #StandupComedyWien #LachenInWien #ComediansWien #LiveComedyWien #ComedyFansWien #ComedySzeneWien #ComedyShowWien #WienEvents #WienNightlife #ComedyLovers #WienOpenMic #GermanComedy #ComedyVienna #ViennaComedy #StandupVienna #ViennaEvents #ViennaNightlife #ViennaOpenMic #ViennaStandup #ViennaFun #ViennaUnderground #ComedyLifeWien #WienHumor #StandupSceneWien #LaughsInVienna #ComedySpotWien #FunnyInWien #ViennaLaughs #ViennaLOL #SundayVienna #WienSonntag #WeekendFinale #ComedyWeekendVienna #SonntagComedy

Jenseits des Oberflächlichen **Bist du es leid, dich nur über das Wetter oder Belanglosigkeiten zu unterhalten?** **Wünschst du dir Gespräche, die inspirieren und wirklich etwas in dir bewegen?** Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den nächsten „Spirituellen Gesprächen“ ein – einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für alle, die auf der Suche nach Antworten, Orientierung sowie tieferem Sinn und Erfüllung im Leben sind – und dabei auch Gleichgesinnte kennenlernen möchten, aus denen vielleicht sogar neue Freundschaften entstehen. Entdecke und erlebe, wie du im Jetzt leben kannst – jenseits der begrenzenden Wahrnehmung der fünf Sinne und des Denkens – um ein erfülltes, sinnvolles und spirituelles Leben zu führen. Wir teilen Einsichten und Impulse, die dir helfen können, ein sinnerfülltes Leben zu führen. Diese Gespräche basieren auf keiner bestimmten spirituellen oder religiösen Richtung. Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, ein spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgründige Gespräche. Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, ihren eigenen Weg zu finden, innere Klarheit zu gewinnen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sie wirklich erfüllt. Schau' dir dazu dieses kurze **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)** an. Ein Nachmittag für **tiefe Gespräche**, **Offenheit** und **echte Verbindung**. Lass dich sich inspirieren, begegne Gleichgesinnten und genieße eine herzliche Atmosphäre. Für **Kaffee, Tee, Gebäck und Getränke** ist gesorgt. **Beitrag:** € 15,- pro Person (zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und die Raummiete) Teilnehmer aus verschiedenen Meetup-Gruppen kommen zusammen — wobei die Gesamtgruppe bewusst klein gehalten wird (max 15 Personen). Ich freue mich auf dich. **Dieter Langenecker** [www.langenecker.com](www.langenecker.com)
