I Am Still Not Sure | English Stand-Up Comedy Show by Berk | @TheComedyPub
# [GET TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/i-am-still-not-sure-english-stand-up-comedy-show-by-berk-thecomedypub-tickets-1978895225891?aff=MeetUp)
A smart, philosophical stand-up comedy show about identity, culture, dating & not being a robot. Berk ĂaycÄą live in Vienna, Feb 20.
Berk ĂaycÄą is a half-Turkish comedian â and his other half is also Turkish.
Yes, heâs aware that this raises questions. He has many of them too.
Berk is a sharp, humorous, and evocative storyteller who blends intelligent observations with absurd ideas, personal anecdotes, and moments of pure, beautifully constructed nonsense. His comedy lives at the intersection of philosophy and everyday life â asking big questions, then immediately undermining them with a joke about dating apps, bureaucracy, or his own name.
He believes that intelligent comedy can also be genuinely funny â and then proves it by making silly wordplays about âĂaycÄą,â a name that almost guarantees a lifetime of mispronunciation.
I Am Still Not Sure is a philosophical stand-up comedy journey through identity, language, faith, technology, relationships, and the strange, confusing beauty of modern life.
In this solo hour, Berk explores what it means to exist between cultures, between expectations, and very often between U-Bahn lines. He dissects everyday experiences that feel small but somehow carry existential weight â from online forms that donât trust humans, to dates that feel like social experiments, to the quiet panic of being asked where youâre âreallyâ from.
This is a show about:
Living between cultures without fully belonging to either
Having a name that looks easy but never is
Dating in Vienna (yes, this show doubles as emotional support)
Faith, identity, and the pressure to define yourself
Technology that constantly asks you to prove youâre not a robot
And the general feeling that everyone else seems more certain than you are
All of this is wrapped into what Berk describes as a cosmic dĂźrĂźm â carefully layered, slightly spicy, and served mit scharf und alles.
Youâll definitely relate if:
⢠Your âeasyâ name is pronounced wrong more often than right
⢠Youâve ever dated in Vienna and needed recovery time
⢠Youâve clicked âI am not a robotâ and felt personally attacked
⢠Youâve tried to explain who you are and gave up halfway through
⢠You suspect modern life is chaos pretending to be organized
This is comedy that laughs at uncertainty instead of fighting it.
đŻ Who Is This Show For?
âď¸ Fans of smart, observational stand-up
âď¸ People who enjoy comedy that thinks â but never lectures
âď¸ Expats, internationals, and locals who live between worlds
âď¸ Anyone questioning identity, belonging, or modern relationships
âď¸ A great date night (or a very comforting solo night out)
âď¸ Humans (robots still under review)
Whether youâre deeply philosophical or just tired and curious, this show meets you where you are.
đş Venue: The Comedy Pub Vienna
đ KettenbrĂźckengasse 7, 1050 Vienna
Viennaâs home for international stand-up comedy.
An intimate, cozy comedy club with a full bar, a warm crowd, and exactly the right atmosphere for a thoughtful, personal solo show. Come early, grab a drink, and settle in.

Life Discussions Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
PCE - Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event.
At the beginning we will choose the topic to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Then we will vote what to discuss. The person who suggested the winning topic will then explain his idea of the topic.
Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer.
After the first part there will be a 10 minutes break before we start the second part.
Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want.
Please check out last event's topics via this link:

Gespräche ßber Spiritualität, Seele, Sinn, Stille und Bewusstes Sein (Deutsch)
**Jenseits des Oberflächlichen â mit spiritueller Tiefe, praktischer Inspiration und in entspannter Atmosphäre.**
*"Es gibt absolut nichts Falsches daran, auf der âEbene der Formâ zu manifestieren â sei es materieller Wohlstand, kreative Errungenschaften oder Dinge dieser Art. Tatsächlich kann das Manifestieren auf diese Weise zu den lohnendsten und erfĂźllendsten Erfahrungen auf unserer menschlichen Reise gehĂśren.*
*Doch fĂźr viele von uns geht wahre Manifestation Ăźber die äuĂere Welt hinaus und dringt tiefer â in unser inneres Sein (und darĂźber hinaus)."* (N.N.)
### Einladung zu den nächsten **Spirituellen Gesprächen**

### Wer ist eingeladen?

### Themen, in die wir gemeinsam eintauchen
* **Spiritualität erforschen** â die Verbundenheit von Selbst und Leben entdecken
* **Weisheit kultivieren** â innere Ruhe, Kraft und Klarheit wachsen lassen
* **Mit Wandel umgehen** â LebensĂźbergänge bewusst gestalten
* **Den eigenen Sinn erkennen** â was trägt dich wirklich?
* **Dem Leben vertrauen** â Freude, Liebe und Offenheit zulassen
Bring deine Gedanken, Fragen und das mit, was dich gerade bewegt.
Wir teilen Einsichten, Erfahrungen und Impulse â ohne Dogma, ohne Belehrung.
Diese Gespräche sind **frei von religiÜsen oder spirituellen ZugehÜrigkeiten**.
### Ăber mich
Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator fßr tiefgehende Gespräche.
Seit vielen Jahren unterstĂźtze ich Menschen dabei, innere Klarheit zu finden, ihrem eigenen Weg zu vertrauen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sich stimmig und erfĂźllt anfĂźhlt.
đ *Hier kannst du dir ein Bild von meiner Arbeit machen:* **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)**
Ein Nachmittag fĂźr **Tiefe, Offenheit und echte Verbindung**.

Astrology Cafe - connect with the inner Life
đ 2026 â 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 đ and, as such, it is the ideal method for understanding and connecting with our unconscious. If you want to get to know yourself better and strengthen the connection to your inner wisdom and creativity, then this session is for you. đŤ
**What Makes This Different:**
This is not a classical teaching event. Rather, what you can expect here is a fun, guided experience, mixing astrology with **creative journaling** âď¸ and **meditative reflection** đ§. 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.

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.
đ We will begin the session with an introduction of all participants
â 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.
đŹ 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 đą 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***
đ°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).
Last, but not least, if you wish to delve fully into astrology, I offer free tools at **lunarium.co.uk**, as well as training and consultations at **misterclarity.com**
Improv-Training for Mindful Spontaneity & Creative Flow (Session in German)
**Stop overthinking and start playing!** đż This session is a soft, safe space to practice being present and letting go of perfectionism. Please note: The main part of this session will be held in **German**.
**Raus aus dem Kopf, rein in den Moment!** đ Hast du das GefĂźhl, oft festzustecken oder alles perfekt machen zu wollen? Improvisationstheater ist das perfekte Training gegen Procrastination und Perfektionismus. Hier lernst du, dem ersten Impuls zu vertrauen und mit dem zu arbeiten, was gerade da ist.
**Was dich erwartet:** In einer wertschätzenden Atmosphäre nutzen wir einfache Spiele und Bewegung, um:
* đą **"Ja, genau!" zu sagen:** Impulse annehmen statt sie zu zerdenken.
* ⨠**Fehler zu feiern:** Perfektionismus ablegen und spielerisch "scheitern".
* đ§ **Präsenz zu stärken:** Ganz im Hier und Jetzt reagieren.
* đ¤ **Gemeinsam zu lachen:** Kurze, humorvolle Ăbungen ohne Leistungsdruck.
**Der Ablauf:** Wir starten mit einer Stunde lockerer Gruppenspiele. Danach folgen sehr kurze, lustige Impro-Szenen.

Sunday Service with Pastor Angela Gaeta
Come hear the word and be inspired by one of our Senior Pastors and Leaders, Angela Gaeta!
The Science of (Self-)Love â Cultivating Compassion for Yourself and Others
Love and compassion â for yourself and for others.
Beyond romance, love is the foundation of how we relate â to
friends, family, and our own inner voice. Many of us show care for
others but struggle to extend the same kindness toward ourselves.
This workshop combines gentle yoga, breathing, and neuroscience, introspection, pair- and group activities to explore how compassion transforms our inner dialogue and relationships. It also explores the science of love and compassion, guiding participants through practices that nurture self-acceptance, empathy, and deeper, healthier connections within the community.
Please sign up here: https://forms.gle/n1Hyz93tZTq4czfc7
Youâll explore:
The basics of (neuro)science behind love and compassion.
How to apply non-violent communication with ourselves â
replacing judgment with acceptance.
How to practice gentle conscious movement and breathwork
for emotional balance and self-care.
Mantras like âI suffer, please helpâ and âI know you suffer, Iâm
here for youâ to foster mutual care and love (including
journalling). Join us to nurture self-love and build bridges of kindness in the community. Please bring paper and a pen. Cash donation is appreciated. Pause. Sense. Breathe. Return to yourself.
In a world of speed, multitasking, and constant stimulation, true presence becomes a rare and powerful skill. This interactive workshop offers a space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and understand how mindfulness and meditation transforms your brain, your communication, and your moment-to-moment experience.
Through a blend of neuroscience, mindfulness tools, introspection, pair- and group activities, we explore how the brain, body, and nervous system shape the way we feel, interact, and respond. Youâll learn how posture, breath, emotional signals, and internal narratives influence communication â and how mindful presence can shift everything.
Youâll explore:
The neuroscience of mindfulness, meditation and self-awareness.
How feelings, needs, and body sensations shape your relationships.
How to meet difficult emotions with curiosity and compassion.
How to practice RAIN as a gentle, structured process.
How Metta meditation softens the heart and supports resilience.
How body language influences communication and nervous system safety.
How breath and movements bring you back into the present moment.
Ideal for anyone wanting to live and communicate with more clarity, intention, and authenticity â in body, mind, and heart.
Please bring paper and a pen. Cash donation is appreciated.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started â but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome â please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. đ¤ đ
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started â but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.

What Causes Your Roller Coasters in Life?
Do you sometimes feel like you do well in life then something happens and you slide back, never quite getting ahead.
At this Meetup you'll find out how to identify what actually causes the lows, the highs and everything in between. More importantly youâll get the secret of how to gain control over your life so the highs are higher and the lows go away.
Wouldnât it be nice to stop the wild roller coaster ride for good? Or at least make it a fun roller coaster ride, with more ups and downs.
There is a hidden factor that will be going over and youâre going to be quite surprised what it is and how much it affects your life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is hosted at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
Men's Group meetup
**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS**
\*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\*
1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group.
2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every manâs truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every manâs perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to âlook goodâ, have the ârightâ answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each otherâs lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.
6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where itâs needed.
