Open Dialogue – Discovering Together in Vienna
We will meet in a calm and friendly place ( Parc, Café, Restaurant) to explore together some of Jiddu Krishnamurti’s key questions about awareness, relationship, and freedom.
There will be no teaching, no authority — only open dialogue and attentive listening.
Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Jiddu Krishnamurti or simply curious about life and self-understanding.
We’ll start with an open conversation around a theme such as “Listening without judgment” or “Can thought bring clarity?”
Please bring openness, curiosity, and a readiness to listen — no books or notes needed.
The spirit is not to discuss “what should be,” but to observe together “what is.”
Lachflash Comedy Open Mic – Dein Sonntag @TheComedyPub endet mit Lachen
**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.

Kick off your week with a laugh at **Funday**, the ultimate English-speaking Open Mic at **The Comedy Pub**! Here, seasoned comedians and brave newcomers take the stage to try out their best jokes, wildest stories, and most daring punchlines. From sharp one-liners to hilarious life stories, you never know what you’re going to get—but it’s always entertaining!
### 🤔 **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. It can be amazing…or a total mess—but that’s the beauty of it! The audience gets to witness comedy in its rawest form: unfiltered, unpredictable, and absolutely unique.
### 🍻 **The Comedy Pub – Vienna's Only Dedicated Stand-Up Comedy Club!**
Located in the heart of Vienna at **Kettenbrückengasse 7**, **The Comedy Pub** is the city’s premier destination for live English-speaking stand-up. With its cozy Irish pub atmosphere, a fantastic selection of drinks, and an intimate stage, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a night of comedy. 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.
* **No talking during the show:** Respect the performers and your fellow audience members.
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.

Ausstellungsbesuch: Die Donauinsel im Wien Museum
For English scroll down.
Die Donauinsel – zwischen 1972 und 1988 gemeinsam mit der Neuen Donau erbaut, um Wien endgültig vor verheerenden Hochwässern zu schützen – ist heute aus dem Stadtbild nicht mehr wegzudenken. Dass an warmen Sommertagen auf der mehr als 21 Kilometer langen und bis zu 250 Meter breiten Insel einmal mehr als 200.000 Personen täglich unterwegs sein würden, war beim politischen Startschuss für das Projekt im Jahr 1969 allerdings weder geplant noch vorhersehbar.
Ursprünglich als rein technisches Hochwasserschutzprojekt konzipiert und politisch höchst umstritten, entwickelte sich die Donauinsel erst im Lauf von mehr als 30 Jahren Planungs- und Bauzeit zu einem vielfältigen Natur- und Erholungsraum am Wasser.
Die Ausstellung im Wien Museum beleuchtet die Geschichte und Gegenwart dieser besonderen Landschaft, die heute zu den wichtigsten Freiräumen in der Stadt zählt und Stadtbewohner:innen unterschiedlichsten Alters und diversester Herkunft für eine Vielzahl von Aktivitäten dient.
Unter vielen anderen Objekten sind ein elf Meter langes historisches Donauinsel-Modell, ein mobiler Inselkiosk sowie aktuelle Foto- und Filmarbeiten von Klaus Pichler, Elodie Grethen und Dariusz Kowalski zu sehen.
Wir treffen uns um 15:00 Uhr vor dem Eingang des Wien Museum, Karlsplatz 8, 1040 Wien.
Jeden 1. Sonntag im Monat ist der Eintritt in die Sonderausstellungen des Wien Museum kostenlos.
Nach dem Ausstellungsbesuch gehen wir in eines der nahegelegenen Cafés.
***English:***
The Danube Island – built between 1972 and 1988 along with the New Danube to protect Vienna from devastating floods – has become an integral part of the city’s identity. Back in 1969, when the project was launched, no one imagined that more than 200,000 people would spend beautiful summer days on this stretch of land, 13 miles long and up to 800 feet wide.
What began as a purely technical and highly controversial flood-control project gradually transformed over more than 30 years of planning and construction into a diverse natural and recreational space on the water.
The Wien Museum exhibition explores both the history and present of this extraordinary landscape, which today is one of Vienna’s most important open spaces. The island is used by residents of all ages and backgrounds for countless activities.
Among many other objects, a 36-foot-long historic model of the Danube Island, a food cart, as well as recent photographic and film works by artists Klaus Pichler, Elodie Grethen, and Dariusz Kowalski are on display.
We meet at 3. p.m. at the entrance of the Wien Museum, Karlsplatz 8, 1040 Wien.
On the first Sunday of every month, admission to the Wien Museum’s special exhibitions is free.
After visiting the Exhibition we will have a drink together in a café nearby.
Donauinsel Splash & Share: A Fun-Filled Picnic Fiesta
This is a **free** event.
Hello friends!
Meet us there at 14:00 with your favourite blanket and whatever you want to eat and drink. Also a bathing suit and towel in case you want to jump into the water and splash around.
We will be able to play badminton, volleyball and whatever else you want if you bring the necessary equipment. In addition, there may be music to make the atmosphere even more cheerful.
The event is non-profit, so bring anything you want to share with other participants.
We look forward to seeing you all for an afternoon of fun and good company on the Donauinsel!
We will be meeting at the pin on google maps and sitting close to there.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice.
Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.

COUNT RMH Housewarmer Volunteering (Ronald McDonald House)
Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process.
Fast track
• Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell).
• Show up and try it out.
• Complete application, etc. later.
Normal process
• Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/).
• Attend orientation in advance.
• At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility.

The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014.
Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.
IxDA Chat n Pancakes
You can sleep in on the Semiquincentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday.
But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to.
Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
