Inspired by Bobby McFerrin's method, Circle Songs is a guided vocal improvisation experience: everyone brings their voice, and together we build spontaneous melodies that are born and gone in the moment, unrepeatable. What happens during the lab? * warm up the voice and body * explore simple vocal improvisation * build Circle Songs together * experience group sound and collective rhythm No musical experience needed. Just the desire to show up and open your voice. **Open to everyone 🙌** **Language**: English/German/Italian Bring water and a playful spirit. **Fee**: 15 Euro/each **Where**: Musikquarter 1040 📩 IMPORTANT: To join, please send a DM to confirm your participation, spots are limited!

**Update**: due to the high number of interested parties, we have had to change the venue to Cafe Museum on Karlsplatz. New year, new format. With the **AI Breakfast**, we’re creating a San-Francisco-style morning gathering for the Austrian AI ecosystem: casual, high-signal, no stage, no slides — just real conversations. This is an open exchange for decision-makers, deep tech builders, Clawdbotlers, founders, CIOs, researchers, public sector innovators and anyone actively shaping AI. Corporate meets startup, policy meets engineering, research meets product. The goal is simple: meaningful connections, sharp discussions, and cross-pollination of ideas — before 9am. Breakfast is ordered at your own expense. The table is reserved under **Cristian Hofmann** / **AI Austria**. Seats are limited. Your host Cristian Hofmann, Amin Khater & Ruben Hetfleisch will welcome you. 👉 Please only RSVP if you truly plan to attend 🙂

A grounded, embodied approach to Tango Argentino for beginners building foundations and improvers seeking clarity, depth, and freedom. **Every Sunday (except during our Tango Immersion Weekends), we explore the essentials of Tango Argentino from a mindful, embodied approach. Focusing not only on what to do, but on how and why we move the way we do in this dance.** ✨ No previous experience required, just curiosity to work with essential principles that allow you to understand the Tango Argentino language sooner, and adapt easier to real social dance situations. ✨ Experienced dancers refine technique and efficiency of their movements. ✨ **You can come with or without a dance partner**, and learn the role(s) of your choice (Jessica encourages to learn both). ✨ **Each class is followed by our Focused Práctica**, a guided practice gathering for all levels, where you can take time to socialize and integrate what you learned, ask questions, receive feedback, and practice in a relaxed and supportive environment. ### **Dates & Time** **Sundays** (except during the Tango Immersion intensive weekends \* check [agenda](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/#agenda) for specific dates) **19:00–20:00** Tango Basics Class **20:00–22:00** Practice Gathering with guided exercises and feedback ### **📍 Location** EWTO Akademie – **Haydngasse 1, 1060 Wien** ### **Registration** Drop-in possible. Registration at jessicagerdel.com is recommended. €20 per person per class €15 per person per Guided Practice session **€85 pack of 4 classes in a row + Guided Practice sessions after each class** (e.g. if you start on Sunday Feb 22nd, it includes the classes of Feb 22 + March 1, 15 and 22 –on March 8 there's no class because of the Tango Immersion Weekend) Young students and people with limited income can request a 20-30% partial scholarship via email or in person. PS. This course doesn't include classes on March 8th and April 19th because of Jessica's [Tango Immersion](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/tangoimmersion) Weekends. She'll guide you on which workshops are suitable for beginners if you want to join us those weekends too. **Teaching approach** Spoiler alert: This is not about copying and memorizing steps. Jessica's teaching focus is on body awareness, connection, and developing good habits from the start — so what you learn works in real social dance situations and truly supports your dance in the long term. **Check out more about her work at [jessicagerdel.com](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/) and on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/tangoimmersion/)/[Instagram](http://www.instagram.com/abrazatango): Abrazatango.** Looking forward to seeing you there!

## [GET TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/99-easy-steps-to-austrian-integration-terence-hartnett-live-thecomedypub-tickets-1983481860639?aff=MeetUp) A fast-paced English comedy show about surviving — and loving — life in Austria. ## An American’s Guide to Becoming Austrian (In Only 99 Easy Steps) Two years ago, NYC comedian **Terence Hartnett** moved to Vienna for love. Now, after navigating bureaucracy, Kaffeehaus culture, German grammar traps, recycling rules, and the mysterious emotional rhythm of Austrian friendliness, he’s ready to present his definitive — and completely foolproof — 99-step integration plan. This is English-language Kabarett meets sharp stand-up comedy — rapid-fire, intelligent, self-aware, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider in a new country. ## What the Show Explores * ☕ **How to Order at a Viennese Kaffeehaus** (The service is half as attentive as in America… but so is the expected tip.) * 🚋 **How to Master Public Transport** (If it looks free, it probably isn’t.) * 📚 **A1 German Confusion** (“Wer ist die toilette?” does NOT mean what you think it means.) * ❄️ **Austrian (Un)Friendliness** Austrians aren’t unfriendly — they just take three years to decide if they like you. * ♻️ **Recycling** Enough said. Through rapid punchlines, sharp cultural comparisons, and heartfelt storytelling, Hartnett examines the small daily moments where cultures collide — and where humor saves us. ## Cultural Relativity, Explained Through Laughter Kurt Vonnegut once wrote: *“Cultural relativity is defensible, attractive. It's a source of hope.”* As an outsider, Hartnett looks at Austrian culture with curiosity instead of criticism. What seems strange through American eyes becomes funny, thoughtful, and sometimes even beautiful. There is a lot to love. A little to resent. And so much to laugh about. Through gentle teasing and sharp self-deprecation, **everyone becomes the punchline — including the comedian himself.** ## Who This Show Is For ✔ Expats navigating Austrian life ✔ Austrians curious how they look from the outside ✔ English-speaking comedy lovers in Vienna ✔ Anyone who has ever lived abroad ✔ Fans of smart, cultural, observational stand-up If you’ve ever struggled with integration, paperwork, language, or just figuring out where to stand on an escalator — this show is for you. ## About Terence Hartnett Terence Hartnett is a New York City comedian known for blending personal storytelling with sharp cultural observations. His work bridges continents with humor that is intelligent, warm, and quietly philosophical — without ever losing the punchlines. ## Why You Should Come Because integration is hard. Because Austria is confusing. Because cultural differences are funny. Because laughter makes everything easier. **99 Easy Steps to Austrian Integration** is a love letter to Austria — written in jokes. Seats are limited. Arrive early, grab a drink, and get ready to laugh at the beautiful absurdity of living between cultures. #TerenceHartnett #99EasySteps #EnglishComedyVienna #ExpatComedy #ComedyInVienna #StandUpVienna #IntegrationComedy #AmericanInAustria #ViennaComedy #KabarettEnglish #LiveComedyVienna #CulturalComedy #TheComedyPub #ViennaEvents #ThingsToDoInVienna

**Comedy Factory: Vienna’s wild & international English Open Mic. Fresh jokes, new comedians & free entry every Saturday.** ## [GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/comedy-factory-english-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-46HDTR?ref=MeetUp) 🔥 Saturday nights start with laughter! Welcome to **Comedy Factory**, Vienna’s most international and experimental English Stand-up Comedy Open Mic. Every Saturday at 18:30, The Comedy Pub transforms into a comedy playground where fresh jokes are built, tested, and unleashed. ## Event Description: At **Comedy Factory**, anything can happen. New comedians step on stage for the very first time, while experienced performers bring their sharpest jokes and wildest new ideas. The result? A raw, unpredictable, and unforgettable night of comedy. With **10–12 comedians each week**, you’ll see a mix of bold experiments, risky punchlines, and polished sets. No two shows are ever the same – every Saturday offers a brand-new lineup of voices from Vienna’s thriving international comedy scene. This show is perfect if you’re: * an **Expat or international living in Vienna** looking for English comedy * a **local curious about stand-up culture** from around the world * a **tourist wanting a unique night out** in Vienna * or simply someone who loves to laugh at fresh, unfiltered comedy. ## 🤔 What is an Open Mic? An Open Mic is where comedy is born. Comedians test their newest material, experiment with wild ideas, and interact with the audience in real time. Sometimes the jokes kill, sometimes they bomb – but that’s exactly the fun. As an audience member, you get to witness comedy in its rawest form, up close and personal. ## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Vienna’s Home of Stand-up The show takes place in **The Comedy Pub** (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna). Unlike our underground cellar shows, **Comedy Factory happens upstairs in the main pub area** – bright, welcoming, international, and buzzing with energy. Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy the only dedicated stand-up comedy club in Vienna. Centrally located right by **U4 Kettenbrückengasse station**, it’s the perfect meeting point before heading out into your Saturday night. ## 💡 Free Entry – Donations Welcome Comedy should be for everyone. That’s why entry is free! But if you had a great time (and you will 😉), we invite you to drop a donation in the bucket at the end of the show. It’s the best way to support the comedians who made you laugh. ## 🎟️ Audience Rules To keep the show fun and fair for everyone, we ask for a few simple things: * Be on time – comedy waits for no one. * Respect the stage – no talking during sets. * Laugh loud, clap hard – comedians feed off your energy. * No heckling – it never ends well. * Show love with a donation if you laughed. ## 🎉 Why Saturday? Because weekends deserve a big laugh. **Comedy Factory** is the perfect early-evening start to your Saturday – international, experimental, and guaranteed to surprise you. With a new lineup every week, it’s always fresh, always different, always funny. Start your night with us, then take the laughter out into Vienna. #ComedyFactoryVienna #EnglishComedyVienna #ViennaComedy #StandupVienna #ViennaNightlife #ViennaEvents #ComedyVienna #LiveComedyVienna #EnglishOpenMic #StandupComedyVienna #ViennaExpats #ExpatsInVienna #ComedyShowVienna #ViennaLaughs #FunnyInVienna #ComedyClubVienna #ViennaWeekend #SaturdayNightVienna #ViennaFun #ViennaThingsToDo #ComedyLifeVienna #ComedyCommunityVienna #ViennaTourists #InternationalComedy #WildComedyVienna #ExperimentalComedy #ViennaStage #ViennaCulture #ViennaNightOut #LaughsInVienna #ComedyHotspotVienna #ViennaStandupScene #ViennaLaughing #ComedyPubVienna #ViennaSaturday #ViennaLOL #ComedyAddictsVienna #ViennaGiggles #ComedyUndergroundVienna #ViennaHahaha

I have reached out to several individuals who are affected. If you are a vegan, plan to attend the Oscar Party and did not receive an e-mail from me, please reach out via private message post a note below. I’ll provide details off-line. And while there won’t be a vegan meal option this year, I think we do have a workable solution.
