Checkst du? Comedy – Freches Stand-up Open Mic @TheComedyPub
**Freches deutsches Comedy Open Mic in Wien! Junge Comedians + erfahrene Pros, gratis Eintritt & Drinks – jeden Mittwoch im Comedy Pub.**
## [HOL DIR DEINE RESERVIERUNG!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/checkst-du-comedy-freches-stand-up-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-8S49H0?ref=MeetUp)
Willkommen zu **Checkst du? Comedy**, der mittwöchlichen Stand-up-Show im *The Comedy Pub*, bei der junge Talente und erfahrene Comedians gemeinsam für einen Abend voller Energie sorgen. Frech, direkt und immer spontan – hier wird Stand-up neu gedacht und live getestet.
Diese Show ist der Spielplatz der neuen Generation von Comedians in Wien. Sie bringen frische Ideen, mutige Witze und ungeschliffene Jokes auf die Bühne. Erfahrene Profis runden den Abend ab und zeigen, wie Timing und Bühnenpräsenz funktionieren. Das Publikum bekommt so einen spannenden Mix: jung, wild, frech – und trotzdem mit Comedy-Handwerk auf höchstem Niveau.
## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic?
Ein Open Mic ist der Ort, an dem Comedy geboren wird. Hier probieren Newcomer ihre allerersten Jokes, während Profis ihre neuesten Texte testen. Manche Gags knallen sofort, manche landen vielleicht erst beim zweiten Versuch – aber gerade das macht den Reiz aus. Du bist live dabei, wenn Comedy entsteht, wächst und manchmal glorreich scheitert. Und genau das ist **echtes Stand-up**.
## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Der Comedy-Hotspot in Wien
Die Bühne von **Checkst du? Comedy** ist der historische Altbaukeller im *The Comedy Pub* (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien). Oben: Irish-Pub-Flair mit Drinks, Bar-Snacks und guter Stimmung. Unten: Kelleratmosphäre pur – nah dran, direkt und perfekt für Stand-up.
Dank der Lage direkt an der U4-Station Kettenbrückengasse bist du in wenigen Minuten mitten im Comedy-Geschehen.
## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen
Lachen soll für alle zugänglich sein! Deshalb ist der Eintritt frei. Aber Comedy lebt auch davon, dass Publikum und Künstler\*innen sich gegenseitig unterstützen. Wenn du gelacht hast, zeig’s mit einer Spende – fair, ehrlich und der direkteste Applaus überhaupt.
## 🎟️ Regeln für das Publikum
Damit die Show für alle funktioniert, bitten wir dich um ein paar Basics:
* Sei pünktlich – die besten Plätze sind schnell weg.
* Lachen ausdrücklich erwünscht – am besten laut!
* Keine Gespräche während der Show, Fokus auf die Bühne.
* Kein Heckling – die Comedians sind funny genug. 😉
* Spenden sind willkommen – Support your locals!
## 🎉 Warum Mittwoch?
Weil der Mittwoch sonst der langweiligste Tag der Woche wäre. **Checkst du? Comedy** macht aus der Wochenmitte ein Highlight: jung, frech, energiegeladen und mit Line-ups, die jede Woche neu überraschen.
Wenn du Lust hast auf ehrliches Stand-up ohne Filter, dann bist du hier genau richtig.

Humming Traditions: SODAI - Straw, Form & Wind
Step into a slow, mindful morning and discover Sodai, traditional Lithuanian straw mobiles that once filled homes with balance, harmony, and quiet beauty. In this workshop, we will explore the geometry of air, learning how to prepare and string straw into delicate symmetrical forms that sway softly with every breeze. Piece by piece, your hands will follow the same patterns that generations before us used to invite order and peace into their homes.
🌿Limited spots. The group is limited to 8 people. You can secure your place by purchasing a ticket through the link:
https://doobeedoo-goodies.sumupstore.com/produkt/humming-traditions-sodai-straw-form-and-wind
🌿Date: 3rd of June
🌿Time: 09:30—12:00 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo)
🌿Location: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (Märzstraße 86, 1150 Vienna)
An immersive workshop for quiet hands, patient minds, and those who enjoy the slow rhythm of creation.
You’ll learn the basic techniques of straw preparation, stringing, and construction, and experience how a simple natural material can transform into something light, precise, and full of meaning. Together, we’ll move through a calm, meditative process, each gesture connecting thought, breath, and creation in quiet balance.
By the end, you’ll leave not only with your own handmade Sodas, a timeless ornament carrying both heritage and your creative touch, but also with the knowledge, focus, and stillness that this ancient craft awakens. It feels less like finishing an object and more like completing a gentle ritual of patience and peace.
To keep the experience personal and attentive, the group will be small and intimate, space is limited, so that every participant can receive individual guidance and care.
This workshop invites you to slow down, focus, and reconnect — with your hands, your thoughts, and the quiet poetry of simple materials. No previous experience is needed, only patient hands, a calm mind, and an eye for quiet detail.
🌿🌿🌿
Humming Traditions is a series of creative workshops that explore the living, breathing essence of cultural practices. Each event invites participants to connect with ancient techniques, natural materials, and artistic expression in a hands-on, immersive experience.
The series celebrates the quiet resonance of tradition, the subtle vibrations, textures, and forms that have carried meaning through centuries. Whether through sound, movement, or craft, Humming Traditions is about experiencing culture as a living, dynamic, and tactile art form.
Each workshop stands on its own yet shares a common thread: creativity, mindfulness, and a connection to nature and heritage. Participants leave with newly learned skills, a calm mind, and a deeper appreciation for cultural artistry.

Modern Meditation and Connection Circle
An evening to slow down, **meditate, and have thoughtful conversations with new people** and making genuine connections.
**No meditation experience needed — just curiosity!**
**What to expect**
This isn’t a meditation class. It is a space where mindfulness and community meet.
Each Circle has three simple parts:
**Meditation — Conversation — Connection**
• **Meditation:** a short (around 20 min) meditation, where I give minimal guidance and we sit in silence together
• **Conversations**: afterwards we create a safe space for conversations that go beyond small talk. We explore how mindfulness can impact different areas of our lives, with a new topic in each circle. You may share or just observe and gain new insights, both are welcome!
• **Community:** Afterwards there will be the option to continue the conversation in a nearby bar/cafe. Something I've been missing when doing meditation classes elsewhere. To connect with like-minded people!
**Background:**
Hi, I’m Katja. I’ve been meditating for over a decade. Why the practice brought tremendous benefits into my life and made me a genuinely happier person, I always felt something was missing: **a non-religious community around it.**
A space for people who meditate, or are curious about it, but also crave deep, authentic connections with others. Where we can meditate together and talk about the benefits and challenges that come with the practice. To **turn** **it from a solitary practice into a shared experience.**
Come join me, if that resonates with you!
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**Costs:**
Pay what you can between 10-15 Euros.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
*For more info, please see www.kinspace.at*
**FAQs**
* Can I come alone?
Absolutely. The purpose of the circle is to make it easy to meet others in a natural and relaxed way.
* In what language will the circle be held?
The main session will be held in English to keep it inclusive for everyone.
During breakout conversations, you’re welcome to speak German or any other language if others in the group share it.
* Is this similar to authentic relating?
The circle has a simple and accessible structure focused on meditation and meaningful conversation. While it’s not an authentic relating event per se, some people may notice similarities in the way it creates space for presence, openness, and genuine connection.
* Do I need meditation experience?
Not at all. Beginners are very welcome. I’ll provide simple guidance to help you settle in.
* Do I have to speak during the circle?
No. Sharing is always optional. You’re welcome to simply listen and observe.
We do ask that what is shared in the circle stays in the circle, creating a space of trust.
* What should I bring?
Just come as you are. Comfortable everyday clothes are perfect.
To respect the shared silence, I'd ask that phones are turned off and put away during the circle.
* What if I’m running late?
To preserve the atmosphere of the circle, we'll start on time.
Please try to arrive 5–10 minutes early.
Open Heart Meditation with Amrita Rani
Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani
(Live Online on Selected Thursdays via Zoom)
You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Acharya Amrita Rani — a living space of awakenings and direct experience.
These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path.
At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of suffering takes place.
A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time.
Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support.
Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment.
Participation fee:
15 € per session
Please make your payment in advance via PayPal before joining, to Rani’s PayPal account: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com

Heartfulness-Meditation
Heartfulness-Meditation entspannt den Geist und stärkt das Herz. Es sind keine Vorkenntnisse oder Erfahrungen erforderlich. Und so wie die Luft uns allen frei zur Verfügung steht, so ist es auch diese Meditation.
Heartfulness-Meditation relaxes the mind and strengthens the heart.
No prior knowlege or experience is required. And just as air is freely available to all of us, so is this meditation.
Free Meditation & Yoga – just show up – we start at 19.00 on Thursdays
Hello there!
We'd like to welcome you to our FREE Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings hosted by Wolfgang, Hamid, Anil, Shantanu & friends which take place in Vienna – 7pm Thursdays.
With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required.
We are all volunteers of a Charity association and have many years of experience in offering free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes.
All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for.
The classes are designed to help those attending get into a genuine meditative state, which can be felt tangibly. It is quite effortless and spontaneous.
The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a state of yoga, and they are available across Vienna most evenings and throughout Austria.
The idea is that you don't do yoga - you Achieve Yoga!
Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. It helps those who enjoy it, reduce stress and increase wellness and health holistically. It brings better focus and helps people become more centered and better balanced. Anyone can do it.
Founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a world wide movement for peace and self awakening.
All the meetings and classes are free of any charge. Each week we go through simple meditation techniques, often with guided meditations to help reduce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation.
We share tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home. The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and balancing the subtle body.
The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with no mental activity or thoughts about the past or the future.
Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a natural state of being.
10 Reasons to try-out Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Vienna in 2015
It’s easy.
You don’t have to spend years living in the mountains to achieve enlightenment. You don’t have to give up anything or spend weeks in silence. You don’t have to learn mantras or wear special clothes or even try to clear my mind. The meditation simply happens spontaneously. The classes are easy and fun, and as long as you keep up your daily ten minutes of meditation you find you are able to achieve a deep and peaceful meditation on a regular basis.
It’s free.
You don’t pay for your meditation. There are no catches, and there are no hidden expenses. If you missed attending classes one week, it doesn’t matter. You just picked up the classes again when you could manage it. It is simply the generosity of spirit of other Sahaja Yoga meditation practitioners that allows Sahaja Yoga to be taught to whomever desires it, at no cost.
You can see results.
You feel relaxed and you feel a deep sense of calm. Now you can also feel your chakras (energy centres) and through the meditation techniques learnt along the way you can understand the vibrations of your own energy centres. If you feel unwell you meditate and use the techniques you’ve learnt to heal your chakras, and you can then feel the centres clearing, and as a consequence your health improves.
It’s all-inclusive.
All the major religions and their core teachings are acknowledged and respected in Sahaja Yoga. No one’s spiritual journey is right or wrong. And through meditation the wisdom of all the great gurus and saints is easily revealed and understood. In fact, you’ll find that since you’ve been meditating you’ll come to understand and appreciate the teachings of great teachers such as Lao Tse, Buddha and Mohammed.
You’re your own boss.
You meditate and introspect at your own pace. You don’t have to keep up with others, or feel pressured into doing things you’re not comfortable with. You are your own teacher, your own guru, your own master. This technique of meditation empowers you and enables you to help yourself. You don’t have to rely on anybody else. Of course, there are many people who practice Sahaja Yoga Meditation who can teach you a great deal about the yoga & meditation and its various techniques. However, all that you need is ultimately within you.
It’s everywhere.
Sahaja Yoga is practiced in almost every country in the world. So, no matter where you travel you can always locate a local Sahaja Yoga Meditation programme that you can attend. Whenever you get the chance, and no matter where you are, You try to link up with other Sahaja Yoga practitioners and enjoy a collective meditation. (Meditating with others is a much deeper and more powerful experience than meditating alone.)
It’s portable.
You don’t need to take anything with you to meditate: no mats, no potions, no special clothing or books. You can meditate anywhere – in a quiet room or on a noisy bus; at the beach or watching a movie. Thoughtless awareness (the state of meditation) is easy to achieve if you keep meditating daily, and it can be achieved in almost any situation.
It makes sense.
Everything you’ll learn will make sense. There is a lot of common sense in Sahaja Yogameditation, and even though not everything was known to you (for example, the chakras and their respective qualities), once you have a chance to learn more about the meditation, it feels very natural and comfortable.
Everybody does it.
When you begin a hobby or join a new group, you often find that there are particular types of people who are in the group with you. For example, some groups attract younger people, others older folk; some groups have a lot of people who are wealthy, or people who live in a certain part of town. In Sahaja Yoga you will find people from every walk of life, from every demographic – male and female, young and old, rich and poor, every shape, size and colour, with varying interests, languages and beliefs. You don’t have to be a certain type of person to do Sahaja Yoga meditation. It is one of those rarities: something for everybody.
You feel good.
Without fail, every time you sit down to meditate you feel better. Whether you manage to have a deep meditation or not makes no difference, and as a consequence your family and friends are reaping the benefits.
So there you have it......ten reasons......

Das anarchische Gehirn – Vortrag über Nicht-Alltägliche Bewusstseinszustände
(This talk will be held in German)
Was haben Holotropes Atmen, Zen-Meditation, Isolationstanks und Meisterpflanzen gemeinsam? Die Kognitionswissenschaft hat heute eine präzise Antwort. In diesen Zuständen lockert das Gehirn vorübergehend seine stärksten inneren Filter. Tief verwurzelte Überzeugungen – über uns selbst, über andere, über die Welt – werden verhandelbar. Echte Transformation wird möglich.
Aber genau das macht diese Zustände auch heikel.
Dieser Vortrag erkundet dasselbe Terrain anhand zweier sehr unterschiedlicher Landkarten: den klassischen „Zehn-Ochsen-Bildern" aus der Zen-Tradition und dem REBUS-Modell aus der modernen Bewusstseinsforschung (Friston & Carhart-Harris). Die eine Karte zeigt, welche Stationen auf dem Weg erkennbar sind und was sie bedeuten – die andere, was im Nervensystem dabei geschieht.
Daraus folgen praktische Fragen, die jeden betreffen, der solche Erfahrungen sucht oder begleitet: Wie erkenne ich, ob ein Zustand wirklich transformiert – oder nur tief beeindruckt? Was braucht es, damit Offenheit zu echter Veränderung wird? Und woran erkenne ich, ob diese Veränderung mir nützt?
Der Abend verbindet Theorie mit gelebter Praxis – und endet mit konkreten Orientierungen für den eigenen Weg.

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.”
Evening Sound Meditation
A gentle space to slow down and unwind at the end of the week.
This session is designed to help you release stress, calm the nervous system, and transition softly into the weekend through guided relaxation and subtle live sound.
No experience needed.
Just come, lie down, listen, and rest.
Open to everyone.
