Electric Shower Thoughts | Gus Horn | English Stand-Up Comedy @TheComedyPub
# [GET TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/electric-shower-thoughts-gus-horn-english-stand-up-comedy-thecomedypub-tickets-1981227633184?aff=MeetUp)
Brazilian-American comedian Gus Horn debuts his new show in Vienna—smart, personal stand-up about identity, expat life & chaos.
🎤 About the Show
Brazilian-American comedian Gus Horn brings his newest solo show Electric Shower Thoughts to Vienna for the very first time.
What do you get when you mix:
a Brazilian upbringing
Austrian winters
American corporate life
heartbreak & immigration paperwork
and an electric shower that might kill you… but gives you your best ideas
You get Electric Shower Thoughts — a hilarious, honest, and deeply relatable stand-up comedy hour about living everywhere and fitting in nowhere.
This show dives headfirst into the chaos of modern life as an immigrant, expat, and former engineer who realized spreadsheets weren’t worth the existential dread.
😂 What Is Electric Shower Thoughts?
This is not just observational comedy.
It’s a confession booth with punchlines.
In this hour, Gus explores:
what it’s like being Brazilian abroad
dating with an accent
explaining Brazilian bidets to Europeans
career crises and corporate burnout
visa stress & immigration anxiety
being homesick for food more than people
family expectations vs real life
and trying to find love while still figuring yourself out
From almost becoming a nuclear engineer to deciding “nah… comedy instead,” Gus turns culture shock, heartbreak, and adulthood panic into sharp, self-aware comedy.
Every country has different plugs.
Different rules.
Different ways of making you feel like you’re doing life wrong.
This show is for anyone who’s ever felt out of place — emotionally, culturally, or professionally.
🎯 Who Is This Show For?
✔️ Expats & immigrants
✔️ People who’ve switched careers out of existential dread
✔️ Anyone who’s dated internationally (or regretted it)
✔️ Fans of smart, personal, global stand-up comedy
✔️ People who’ve tried to explain to their parents that comedy is a job
If you’ve ever felt lost, burned out, heartbroken, or confused in an airport — this show will feel uncomfortably familiar.
👤 About Gus Horn
Gus Horn is a Brazilian-American stand-up comedian who has performed in 25 countries across 3 continents.
A now-retired nuclear engineer, Gus jokes that he used to manage nuclear waste for a living — and now tells dirty jokes to survive.
Career highlights include:
Opening for Russell Peters on his Act Your Age European Tour
Tour support for Dave Attell, Nikki Glaser, TJ Miller & Rafi Bastos
Performances at top comedy clubs across the USA, Brazil & Europe
Featured performer at the Panč Festival (Slovenia)
TV debut on “The Noite”, Brazil’s most-watched talk show
Appearance on Episode 708 of “Kill Tony”, the world’s biggest comedy podcast
Gus blends intelligent storytelling with raw honesty, cultural insight, and fearless punchlines — creating comedy that’s global, personal, and brutally funny.

Wirklich sehen, hören, fühlen – Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermöglicht
### **,,Wirklich sehen, hören, fühlen – Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermöglicht''**
**Workshop für Sinne, Selbsterkenntnis & Beziehungstiefe**
***
**Was, wenn echte Verbindung nicht durch Reden, sondern durch Wahrnehmen beginnt?**
Wie nah wir anderen kommen – in Partnerschaft, Freundschaft oder Familie – hängt oft davon ab, **wie klar und fein wir wahrnehmen können**: uns selbst, den anderen, die Situation.
In diesem Workshop schulen wir unsere Sinne – **sehen, hören, riechen, fühlen** – und erkennen, was zwischen Wahrnehmung und Reaktion liegt: unsere gelernten Muster, Schutzmechanismen und tiefen Bedürfnisse.
***
**Inhalte & Übungen**:
* Wie „Wahr“-nehmung funktioniert – und wie sie getäuscht werden kann
* Sehen, Hören, Riechen, Fühlen bewusst trainieren – mit alltagsnahen Übungen
* Schulz von Thun: Was höre ich wirklich, wenn jemand spricht?
* Virginia Satir: Welche Reaktionen schützen mich – und verhindern Nähe?
* Karen Horney & Bindungstheorie: Warum wir uns so schwer tun mit Kontakt
* Sinneserfahrungen mit Alltagsgegenständen (z. B. Kaffee, Stoffe, Düfte)
* Achtsame Selbstwahrnehmung & ehrlicher Austausch in Kleingruppen
***
**Warum das wichtig ist:**
Viele Kommunikationsprobleme und Beziehungskonflikte entstehen nicht durch bösen Willen – sondern durch **nicht wahrgenommene Signale**, alte Muster oder unbewusste Schutzreaktionen.
Wenn wir die Welt feiner spüren lernen, **werden wir echter, weicher, verbindlicher** – ohne uns zu verlieren.
***
**Für wen?**
Für Menschen, die sich selbst und andere besser verstehen wollen – nicht theoretisch, sondern **im Spüren, Erleben und im echten Kontakt**.
***
📍**Ort:** jeden Sonntag
🕖 **Zeit:** 11:00-14:30
☕ **Mit Sinnesimpulsen wie Kaffee & Duftübungen** Kaffee & kleine Snacks inklusive!
💶 **Beitrag:** 25€
📝 **Anmeldung:** über Meetup oder Emailanmeldung unter: orhanberatgueclue@gmail.com

Oscar International Nominee: SIRAT at the Gateway Film Center
Join us as we get together to see SIRAT, an Oscar-nominated Best International Film from Spain that follows a father, accompanied by his son, goes looking for his missing daughter in North Africa. Here’s a description, trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: A father, accompanied by his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco while searching for his daughter who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. As their search continues, the journey forces them to confront their own limits. The film is directed by Oliver Laxe and stars Sergi Lopez, Bruno Nunez Arjona and Richard Bellamy.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww-IXHXvS70
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: SIRAT has already won numerous awards, including 4 at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, along with the Chicago, Montclair and Toronto International Film Festivals! It also earned a whopping 11 nominations at the 40th Goya Awards, including Best Film and Director, and was nominated for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound at this year’s Academy Awards. The film is earning a stellar 92% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes which calls it “an unforgettable exercise in tension” and “a brutal reminder that the journey can be more important than the destination.”
PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and we’ll meet inside the upstairs lobby between 6:40 and 6:50pm. Super Tuesday ticket price is just $6.50 (including online fee)! Advance ticket purchase is advised (via Gateway website preferred). Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event! This one will be a “movie only” event.
PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night!

COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
