# [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 Çaycı live in Vienna, Feb 20. Berk Çaycı is a half-Turkish comedian — and his other half is also Turkish. Yes, he’s 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 — 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 — and then proves it by making silly wordplays about “Çaycı,” 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 — from online forms that don’t trust humans, to dates that feel like social experiments, to the quiet panic of being asked where you’re “really” 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 you’re 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 dürüm — carefully layered, slightly spicy, and served mit scharf und alles. You’ll definitely relate if: • Your “easy” name is pronounced wrong more often than right • You’ve ever dated in Vienna and needed recovery time • You’ve clicked “I am not a robot” and felt personally attacked • You’ve 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. 🎯 Who Is This Show For? ✔️ Fans of smart, observational stand-up ✔️ People who enjoy comedy that thinks — but never lectures ✔️ Expats, internationals, and locals who live between worlds ✔️ Anyone questioning identity, belonging, or modern relationships ✔️ A great date night (or a very comforting solo night out) ✔️ Humans (robots still under review) Whether you’re deeply philosophical or just tired and curious, this show meets you where you are. 🍺 Venue: The Comedy Pub Vienna 📍 Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna Vienna’s 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. 📅 Event Details 📆 Friday, February 20th, 2026 🚪 Doors open: 20:30 🎤 Show starts: 21:00 📍 The Comedy Pub, Vienna 🗣 Language: English 🎟 Tickets: Available online 💺 Seating is limited — early arrival recommended If you’re looking for comedy that’s funny and thoughtful, personal and universal, silly and sincere — I Am Still Not Sure is exactly that. Come hungry. Feel the burn in all the right places. Leave with a smile — and possibly fewer answers than before. Berk Çaycı brings his smart, philosophical English stand-up comedy to Vienna. A hilarious solo show about identity, culture & modern life.

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: [http://pce-topic.project-website.org](http://pce-topic.project-website.org/)

Discover Bachata Technique classes at Lento Dance Vienna – one of the city’s leading dance schools. Guided by internationally certified teachers with over 15 years of experience, our classes offer a welcoming environment where you can refine your technique, boost your confidence, and elevate your social dancing.

Love and compassion – for yourself and for others. Beyond romance, love is the foundation of how we relate – 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 You’ll explore: The basics of (neuro)science behind love and compassion. How to apply non-violent communication with ourselves – replacing judgment with acceptance. How to practice gentle conscious movement and breathwork for emotional balance and self-care. Mantras like “I suffer, please help” and “I know you suffer, I’m here for you” 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. You’ll learn how posture, breath, emotional signals, and internal narratives influence communication – and how mindful presence can shift everything. You’ll 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 – in body, mind, and heart. Please bring paper and a pen. Cash donation is appreciated. About Us Adrián Klepe Pre-doctoral neuroscientist, certified NeuroMindfulness® Coach, yoga teacher (at Manas Yoga Studio), breathwork instructor, and mindfulness facilitator.

At the Mindful BAse in collaboration with Villa Vida, he co-creates experiential workshops promoting connection, empathy, and sustainable community practices. The Mindful BAse x Villa Vida Where science meets mindfulness – for awareness, connection, and community. At The Mindful BAse, we believe that mindfulness is not only a personal practice, but also a powerful way to strengthen relationships, communities, and our connection with our environment. Founded in Vienna in 2025, our mission is simple: to bring people together, foster well-being, and cultivate a community rooted in awareness, kindness, compassion and respect. Through our collaboration with Villa Vida, we are excited to present a series of science-based mindfulness workshops designed to encourage meaningful dialogue, nurture learning and reflection for supporting the local queer community. We create spaces where ancient practices meet modern insights, offering sessions that combine yoga, meditation, neuroscience, communication tools in a safe, inclusive and inspiring space. Each workshop invites you to slow down, connect, and learn practical ways to care for yourself and others – grounded in both science and lived experience. 🌈 All identities, bodies, and levels of experience are welcome.

**Jenseits des Oberflächlichen – mit spiritueller Tiefe, praktischer Inspiration und in entspannter Atmosphäre.** *"Es gibt absolut nichts Falsches daran, auf der „Ebene der Form“ zu manifestieren – sei es materieller Wohlstand, kreative Errungenschaften oder Dinge dieser Art. Tatsächlich kann das Manifestieren auf diese Weise zu den lohnendsten und erfüllendsten Erfahrungen auf unserer menschlichen Reise gehören.* *Doch für viele von uns geht wahre Manifestation über die äußere Welt hinaus und dringt tiefer – in unser inneres Sein (und darüber hinaus)."* (N.N.) ### Einladung zu den nächsten **Spirituellen Gesprächen** Bist du es leid, Gespräche zu führen, die an der Oberfläche bleiben? Sehnst du dich nach Austausch, der inspiriert, berührt – und wirklich etwas in dir bewegt? Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den **Spirituellen Gesprächen** ein: einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für Menschen, die sich nach Tiefe, Orientierung und einem sinnerfüllten Leben sehnen. Gemeinsam erforschen wir, wie es ist, im **Jetzt** zu leben – jenseits von Gedankenmustern, innerem Lärm und der rein verstandesmäßigen Sicht auf die Welt. ### Wer ist eingeladen? Menschen mitten im Leben (typischerweise 45+), die * äußerlich vieles erreicht haben, sich innerlich aber noch nicht ganz angekommen fühlen * eine tiefere spirituelle Verbindung und echten Sinn suchen * persönliche Begleitung und Austausch auf Augenhöhe schätzen ### Themen, in die wir gemeinsam eintauchen * **Spiritualität erforschen** – die Verbundenheit von Selbst und Leben entdecken * **Weisheit kultivieren** – innere Ruhe, Kraft und Klarheit wachsen lassen * **Mit Wandel umgehen** – Lebensübergänge bewusst gestalten * **Den eigenen Sinn erkennen** – was trägt dich wirklich? * **Dem Leben vertrauen** – Freude, Liebe und Offenheit zulassen Bring deine Gedanken, Fragen und das mit, was dich gerade bewegt. Wir teilen Einsichten, Erfahrungen und Impulse – ohne Dogma, ohne Belehrung. Diese Gespräche sind **frei von religiösen oder spirituellen Zugehörigkeiten**. ### Über mich Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgehende Gespräche. Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, innere Klarheit zu finden, ihrem eigenen Weg zu vertrauen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sich stimmig und erfüllt anfühlt. 👉 *Hier kannst du dir ein Bild von meiner Arbeit machen:* **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)** Ein Nachmittag für **Tiefe, Offenheit und echte Verbindung**. Begegne Gleichgesinnten, lass dich inspirieren und genieße eine warme, ruhige Atmosphäre. Für Gebäck und Getränke ist gesorgt. **Beitrag:** € 15,- (zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und Raummiete) Bitte gib mir kurz Bescheid, falls du doch nicht teilnehmen kannst. Und sei bitte pünktlich. Falls das Haupttor geschlossen ist, nutze den Code **2008 + Schlüsselsymbol** oder schreibe mir unter **0681 1069 1321**. Wenn dich das anspricht, **melde dich jetzt an** und sei Teil einer tiefgehenden Gesprächsrunde. Ich freue mich auf dich. Dieter Langenecker [www.langenecker.com](http://www.langenecker.com/)

### ☕️ **Salon Deutsch – Bücher, die uns bewegt haben!** Zwischen Bücherregalen und Kaffeetassen im Café Vox Libri treffen wir uns wieder zu einem Abend für alle, die Geschichten lieben. **Jede\*r bringt ein Buch mit, das Spuren hinterlassen hat** – ein Roman, der begeistert, geärgert oder einfach nicht losgelassen hat. Erzähl uns auf Deutsch, worum es geht, warum du es gewählt hast – und wenn du magst, lies eine kleine Stelle daraus vor. Kein Druck, keine Vorbereitung – nur echte Begeisterung für Bücher und Sprache. Ob du regelmäßig auf Deutsch liest oder einfach dein Lieblingsbuch vorstellen möchtest – hier zählen der Austausch und die Freude am Erzählen. 🗓 **Wann:** Samstag, 7. Februar, 16:00 Uhr 📍 **Wo:** Café Vox Libri, Jörgerstraße 26, 1170 Wien 💬 **Bleib in Kontakt:** Tritt gern der **[WhatsApp-Gruppe](https://chat.whatsapp.com/E66zyHWrx972oDYFHdy4rh?mode=wwt)** bei, um über zukünftige Treffen und Themen informiert zu bleiben :)

**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 man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s 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 “look good”, have the “right” 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 other’s 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 it’s needed.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model.

As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
