Lachflash Comedy Open Mic – Dein Sonntag @TheComedyPub endet mit Lachen
**Deutschsprachiges Comedy Open Mic in Wien. Lachflash statt Tatort – der perfekte Sonntagabend mit neuen Comedians & freiem Eintritt.**
# [HOL DIR DEINE TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/lachflash-comedy-open-mic-dein-sonntag-thecomedypub-endet-mit-lachen-tickets-8QGW97?ref=MeetUp)
Sonntagabend und du überlegst, ob du dich mit Netflix aufs Sofa wirfst oder dich schon auf den Montag vorbereitest? Falsch gedacht! 😏 Wien hat jetzt eine bessere Antwort: **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic**. Jeden Sonntag um 18:00 wird *The Comedy Pub* zur Bühne für deutschsprachige Stand-up-Comedy – roh, echt, witzig, manchmal absurd und immer überraschend. Der perfekte Wochenend-Ausklang für alle, die nicht aufhören wollen zu lachen.
**Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist das große Finale des Wochenendes. Hier bekommst du einen wilden Mix aus **Newcomern**, die ihre ersten Schritte auf der Bühne machen, und **erfahrenen Comedians**, die neues Material ausprobieren. Manchmal entstehen hier Jokes, die in ein Jahr später in Specials oder Fernsehsendungen landen. Manchmal scheitert ein Gag glorreich – und genau das sorgt für die lautesten Lacher des Abends.
Mit **vielen Comedians pro Show** (oft mehr als 10!) erwartet dich ein abwechslungsreicher Abend:
* Überraschende neue Stimmen, die dich mit ganz frischem Humor überraschen
* Kreative Experimente, die kein Mainstream-Comedy-Club sich trauen würde
* Scharfe Pointen von erfahrenen Comedians, die genau wissen, wie man eine Crowd zum Toben bringt
Kein Sonntag gleicht dem anderen. Jede Show hat ein komplett neues Line-up – das macht **Lachflash** zu einer Serie, die man immer wieder besuchen kann.
Und das Beste: Hier ist das Publikum nicht nur dabei, sondern ein aktiver Teil des Abends. Deine Lacher, dein Applaus, dein Staunen – all das beeinflusst, wie die Comedians ihre Jokes entwickeln.
## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic?
Ein Open Mic ist das Herzstück der Stand-up-Szene. Es ist keine perfekt inszenierte Show – sondern ein Ort, an dem Comedy entsteht. Hier probieren Comedians ihre neuesten Texte aus, feilen am Timing, improvisieren mit dem Publikum und lernen, was funktioniert.
Das heißt:
* Manchmal knallt ein Joke sofort – und alle feiern.
* Manchmal floppt eine Pointe – und genau daraus wird ein unvergesslicher Moment.
* Immer aber ist es spannend, nahbar und authentisch.
Wenn du echte Comedy erleben willst – ohne Filter, ohne Drehbuch, ohne Sicherungsnetz – dann ist ein Open Mic genau dein Ding. Und **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist Wiens neue Adresse dafür am Sonntag.
## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Das Zuhause der Stand-up-Comedy in Wien
Die Show findet im **The Comedy Pub** (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien) statt – Wiens erster und einziger echter Comedy-Club. Während andere Bars ab und zu Comedy hosten, ist das hier das Zentrum einer Szene.
Oben erwartet dich ein gemütlicher Irish Pub mit Drinks, Snacks und freundlicher Atmosphäre. Unten im Altbaukeller – oder im offenen Pub-Bereich – wird jede Woche Stand-up gespielt, getestet und gefeiert. Die Location ist bekannt für ihr **nahbares, internationales Publikum** und ihr warmes, intimes Ambiente.
Und das Beste: mit der U-Bahn-Station **Kettenbrückengasse (U4)** direkt vor der Tür bist du in wenigen Minuten mitten im Geschehen.
## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen
Comedy lebt von Community. Damit möglichst viele Menschen Stand-up erleben können, ist der Eintritt frei. Aber: Lachen ist wertvoll – und wenn du einen **Lachflash** hattest, dann zeig das! Am Ende der Show geht ein Hut rum, in den du geben kannst, was es dir wert war. Fair, direkt und die ehrlichste Form von Applaus.
## 🎟️ Regeln fürs Publikum
Damit die Show für alle ein Erlebnis wird, bitten wir dich um ein paar einfache Dinge:
* Sei pünktlich – die Türen öffnen 17:30, Showstart ist 18:00.
* Hör zu und respektiere die Bühne – Comedians geben hier alles.
* Lachen ist Pflicht – und zwar ohne Zurückhaltung!
* Kein Heckling – die Gags kommen von den Profis. 😉
* Spenden sind willkommen – support your local comedy!
## 🎉 Warum Sonntag?
Viele denken: Sonntagabend = Couch, Serien, früh ins Bett. Aber warum so trist? **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist der perfekte Gegenentwurf: eine Show voller Energie, Lachen und Überraschungen – bevor der Montag wieder ernst wird.
* Es ist der **perfekte Wochenend-Ausklang** – Comedy statt Tatort!
* Ein Fixpunkt, der dich mit einem Lächeln in die Woche schickt.
* Ein Raum, in dem du neue Comedians entdeckst, die du sonst nie gesehen hättest.
* Und: die einzige regelmäßige deutsche Comedy-Show am Sonntag in Wien – im einzigen Comedy Club der Stadt.
Kurz gesagt: Sonntag gehört jetzt nicht mehr dem Montagsblues, sondern dem Lachflash.

Ausstellungsbesuch: Die Donauinsel im Wien Museum
For English scroll down.
Die Donauinsel – zwischen 1972 und 1988 gemeinsam mit der Neuen Donau erbaut, um Wien endgültig vor verheerenden Hochwässern zu schützen – ist heute aus dem Stadtbild nicht mehr wegzudenken. Dass an warmen Sommertagen auf der mehr als 21 Kilometer langen und bis zu 250 Meter breiten Insel einmal mehr als 200.000 Personen täglich unterwegs sein würden, war beim politischen Startschuss für das Projekt im Jahr 1969 allerdings weder geplant noch vorhersehbar.
Ursprünglich als rein technisches Hochwasserschutzprojekt konzipiert und politisch höchst umstritten, entwickelte sich die Donauinsel erst im Lauf von mehr als 30 Jahren Planungs- und Bauzeit zu einem vielfältigen Natur- und Erholungsraum am Wasser.
Die Ausstellung im Wien Museum beleuchtet die Geschichte und Gegenwart dieser besonderen Landschaft, die heute zu den wichtigsten Freiräumen in der Stadt zählt und Stadtbewohner:innen unterschiedlichsten Alters und diversester Herkunft für eine Vielzahl von Aktivitäten dient.
Unter vielen anderen Objekten sind ein elf Meter langes historisches Donauinsel-Modell, ein mobiler Inselkiosk sowie aktuelle Foto- und Filmarbeiten von Klaus Pichler, Elodie Grethen und Dariusz Kowalski zu sehen.
Wir treffen uns um 15:00 Uhr vor dem Eingang des Wien Museum, Karlsplatz 8, 1040 Wien.
Jeden 1. Sonntag im Monat ist der Eintritt in die Sonderausstellungen des Wien Museum kostenlos.
Nach dem Ausstellungsbesuch gehen wir in eines der nahegelegenen Cafés.
***English:***
The Danube Island – built between 1972 and 1988 along with the New Danube to protect Vienna from devastating floods – has become an integral part of the city’s identity. Back in 1969, when the project was launched, no one imagined that more than 200,000 people would spend beautiful summer days on this stretch of land, 13 miles long and up to 800 feet wide.
What began as a purely technical and highly controversial flood-control project gradually transformed over more than 30 years of planning and construction into a diverse natural and recreational space on the water.
The Wien Museum exhibition explores both the history and present of this extraordinary landscape, which today is one of Vienna’s most important open spaces. The island is used by residents of all ages and backgrounds for countless activities.
Among many other objects, a 36-foot-long historic model of the Danube Island, a food cart, as well as recent photographic and film works by artists Klaus Pichler, Elodie Grethen, and Dariusz Kowalski are on display.
We meet at 3. p.m. at the entrance of the Wien Museum, Karlsplatz 8, 1040 Wien.
On the first Sunday of every month, admission to the Wien Museum’s special exhibitions is free.
After visiting the Exhibition we will have a drink together in a café nearby.

(Deutsch unten.)
Sunday's portrait sessions start at 3 PM. Everyone is welcome to join our Open Sessions, just bring pencil, paper and any other utensils you may need. (Easels & Boards are available in the atelier).

**Every Sunday (except during our Tango Immersion Weekends)**, we explore the essentials of Tango Argentino 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.

Shut Up & Write!™ Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Saturday!
