Comedy Factory – English Open Mic @TheComedyPub
**Comedy Factory: Vienna’s wild & international English Open Mic. Fresh jokes, new comedians & free entry every Saturday.**
## [GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/comedy-factory-english-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-46HDTR?ref=MeetUp)
🔥 Saturday nights start with laughter! Welcome to **Comedy Factory**, Vienna’s most international and experimental English Stand-up Comedy Open Mic. Every Saturday at 18:30, The Comedy Pub transforms into a comedy playground where fresh jokes are built, tested, and unleashed.
## Event Description:
At **Comedy Factory**, anything can happen. New comedians step on stage for the very first time, while experienced performers bring their sharpest jokes and wildest new ideas. The result? A raw, unpredictable, and unforgettable night of comedy.
With **10–12 comedians each week**, you’ll see a mix of bold experiments, risky punchlines, and polished sets. No two shows are ever the same – every Saturday offers a brand-new lineup of voices from Vienna’s thriving international comedy scene.
This show is perfect if you’re:
* an **Expat or international living in Vienna** looking for English comedy
* a **local curious about stand-up culture** from around the world
* a **tourist wanting a unique night out** in Vienna
* or simply someone who loves to laugh at fresh, unfiltered comedy.
## 🤔 What is an Open Mic?
An Open Mic is where comedy is born. Comedians test their newest material, experiment with wild ideas, and interact with the audience in real time. Sometimes the jokes kill, sometimes they bomb – but that’s exactly the fun. As an audience member, you get to witness comedy in its rawest form, up close and personal.
## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Vienna’s Home of Stand-up
The show takes place in **The Comedy Pub** (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna). Unlike our underground cellar shows, **Comedy Factory happens upstairs in the main pub area** – bright, welcoming, international, and buzzing with energy.
Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy the only dedicated stand-up comedy club in Vienna. Centrally located right by **U4 Kettenbrückengasse station**, it’s the perfect meeting point before heading out into your Saturday night.
## 💡 Free Entry – Donations Welcome
Comedy should be for everyone. That’s why entry is free! But if you had a great time (and you will 😉), we invite you to drop a donation in the bucket at the end of the show. It’s the best way to support the comedians who made you laugh.
## 🎟️ Audience Rules
To keep the show fun and fair for everyone, we ask for a few simple things:
* Be on time – comedy waits for no one.
* Respect the stage – no talking during sets.
* Laugh loud, clap hard – comedians feed off your energy.
* No heckling – it never ends well.
* Show love with a donation if you laughed.
## 🎉 Why Saturday?
Because weekends deserve a big laugh. **Comedy Factory** is the perfect early-evening start to your Saturday – international, experimental, and guaranteed to surprise you. With a new lineup every week, it’s always fresh, always different, always funny.
Start your night with us, then take the laughter out into Vienna.

Run+B-fast
Hi Running fellows,
Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us!
Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast.
Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too.
What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :)
We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast!
Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45.
We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier.
Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup.
Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz
Sprachen Cafe: German / English / Italian / Spanish / French
**Note:** We are meeting outside again as the first one was very successful. There is also a picnic in the nearby location so we may try to learn languages while having fun and learning sports vocabulary. Bring a blanket to sit on and water and snacks if you like.
This is a **free** event.
Are you ready to practise your language skills?
If you want to meet new friends (or the same friends you met at our other events) and practice all the languages you can speak, join us for a fun-filled evening!
During this event, you have the chance to choose a Group and talk to people in:
1. **English**
2. **German**
3. **Italian**
4. **Spanish**
5. **French**
Our most important rule:
Please be respectful to others at all times.
Yes, there will be a separate beginners' Group if you aren't fluent in the language yet! It is also a great place to find Tandem Partners for the languages you want to improve in!
Get in touch with the Host upon your arrival and he/she will assist you.

Hope to see you there!!!
Board Game Sunday
We know that meeting new people in Vienna’s Meetup scene can feel a bit repetitive. While different hosts and formats exist, you often end up seeing the same faces. That’s why we’re shaking things up!
We’ve teamed up with The Golden Harp 1090 and Luki’s Pub Quiz to bring you an exciting new Board Game Night - one that goes beyond Meetup and expands your social circle even further!
📅 Every Sunday, 4-9PM but you can stay and play until the restaurant closes.
📍 The Golden Harp Alsergrund (Alserbachstraße 37, 1090 Wien).
Join us for an evening of fun, laughter, and great company. Whether you’re a board game enthusiast or just looking to meet new people in a relaxed setting, this is the perfect event for you! Plus, you can order delicious food and drinks right at the venue while you play.
Come for the games, stay for the connections, and make Vienna feel even more like home. See you there!
Please note that this free event is made possible through the generous support of the restaurant. In order to maintain a strong partnership and continue offering events like this at no cost, we kindly ask that all attendees support the venue by placing an order during their visit. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Social Hike: Kaptivating Kahlenberg
After a quick train & bus ride from Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof), this easy hike starts at a quaint village known for its harbor and laid-back taverns. Slowly pacing upwards next to a small creek, our group eventually arrives at Kahlenberg's mountain top with what's probably the most captivating scenic spot of entire Vienna. Descending along gentle slopes flanked by lush vineyards, we'll end up at the fringes of Grinzing district for our return commute.
To secure your spots, please ...
Step 1: RSVP here on Meetup first (optional but recommended)
Step 2: Complete your booking at https://vienna.ixpat.com/kahlenberg
Social Hike XL: Scenical Sandberg (from Vienna)
15 million years ago, the iconic Sandberg right over the Slovak border formed the coastline of the late tertiary sea. Today, shark teeth, turtle shells and other relics can still be found scattered in its dunes. Appreciating this prehistoric significance (and far-reaching view into the Austrian *Marchfeld*) we slowly follow our trail up the slopes. Standing tall at 514m, the *Devínska Kobyla* peak generously rewards us with a jaw-dropping panorama over three (some say even four) countries. Walking downhill through a decommissioned Soviet-era missile base, we soon re-enter pristine forest surroundings in search for the mystical White Rock - and eventually visit the remains of Villa Rustica, an ancient Roman spa presiding over the *Veľká lúka plains*. Net hiking time will be \~3 hours.
Our hike wraps up with a well-deserved group dinner inside the nearby Bory Mall food court with plenty of Slovak/international delicacies at your own taste and budget.
Total time: \~7 hours
Language: English
Price includes organization, train tickets and friendly host. Discounts available for early birds, repeat participants and groups. Local bus tickets included too. Food and drinks are at your own expense.
To secure your spots, please ...
Step 1: RSVP here on Meetup first (optional but recommended)

### 🤔 **What is an Open Mic?**
An **Open Mic** is the testing ground for comedians. It’s where pros fine-tune their new material, and fresh faces take their first step into the spotlight.

Our club is dedicated to bringing you the best laughs, week after week.
### 💡 **Why is it Free? (Donation-Based Event!)**
Comedy needs an audience—your laughter, your reactions, even your groans help comedians sharpen their jokes. That’s why entry is free, and donations are welcome. If you had a great time, show some love. If you didn’t…well, there’s always next week!
### 🎟️ **Audience Guidelines:**
To make sure everyone has a great time, here are a few things we ask:
* **Be on time:** We start right on schedule.
* **Follow the rules:** It’s really not that hard.
* **Laugh when it’s funny:** Your reactions shape the show.
* **Donate if you enjoyed it:** Show your appreciation for the laughs.
* **No heckling:** You will lose. Every time.

This isn’t your living room—it’s a privilege to be here. If you disrupt the show, the audience, or the comedians, you’re out. No refunds, no second chances. We’re here for good vibes and great comedy—don’t mess that up.
