English Stand Up Comedy Show "Monday Night Laughs" @The.Comedy.Pub
English Stand Up Comedy Show "Monday Night Laughs" @The.Comedy.Pub
## [BOOK HERE!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/english-stand-up-comedy-show-monday-night-laughs-the-comedy-pub-tickets-0NML7Q?ref=MeetUp) Monday Night Laughs: Vienna’s English stand-up open mic! Watch & perform every Monday at The Comedy Pub. Free entry, cozy vibe, endless laug Vienna’s English Stand-Up Comedy Open Mic – Every Monday at The Comedy Pub ## 😂 Mondays Don’t Have to Suck The weekend might be over — but the laughter doesn’t stop. Welcome to **Monday Night Laughs**, Vienna’s cozy and community-driven **English stand-up comedy open mic**, where locals, expats, and travelers come together to kick off the week with big laughs and good vibes. Every Monday night, *The Comedy Pub Vienna* turns into a creative playground for comedians and comedy lovers alike. Whether it’s your first time at a show or your tenth, you’ll feel right at home. Forget Netflix. Forget the Monday blues. This is your weekly reminder that laughter fixes everything — especially on a Monday. ## 🎭 What Is *Monday Night Laughs*? It’s not a fancy showcase or a big-ticket headliner night. It’s something much better — it’s *real*. Here, the mic is open, the drinks are cold, and the laughter is honest. You’ll see comedians from all over the world — from total beginners testing their first five minutes to experienced performers working out new jokes for their next tour. No two shows are ever the same. One moment you’ll hear a joke about Austrian bureaucracy, the next about dating disasters in Spain or cultural shocks in Tokyo. It’s raw, spontaneous, and absolutely unpredictable — the way live comedy is meant to be. And because it’s all happening in English, the night draws a wonderfully mixed crowd: locals, internationals, and everyone in between. ## 🎙️ For Performers If you’ve ever thought, *“I could do that,”* this is your sign. *Monday Night Laughs* is one of Vienna’s most supportive and encouraging open mics for new comedians. No judgment, no pressure — just a room full of people who love to laugh and want you to succeed. It’s the perfect place to try stand-up for the first time, or to test new material before your next big show. The vibe is friendly, relaxed, and full of creative energy — comedy at its purest form. Sign-up is open before the show — come early, grab a drink, and put your name down. Who knows? You might be the next crowd favorite. ## 🎤 For the Audience If you just want to watch, you’re in for a treat. This is one of Vienna’s most authentic live experiences — a place where you can laugh, relax, and see the future stars of stand-up before they blow up. You’ll witness comedy in its rawest form: jokes being born, ideas taking shape, and performers finding their voice. Sometimes it’s perfect, sometimes it’s weird — but it’s *always* fun. Grab a beer, find a seat, and enjoy a night full of unpredictable laughter. ## 🍻 The Atmosphere The Comedy Pub isn’t just a venue — it’s a community. It’s the heart of Vienna’s growing stand-up scene, a space where people come together to connect, perform, and laugh without judgment. The audience cheers each performer, the comedians support one another, and the whole night feels like hanging out with friends who happen to be hilarious. It’s the kind of Monday night you’ll want to make a tradition. ## 📍 The Venue: The Comedy Pub Vienna 📍 **Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna** Nestled in the heart of Vienna’s 5th district, *The Comedy Pub* is the city’s only dedicated stand-up comedy club — a cozy Irish-style bar with warm lighting, a friendly crowd, and the perfect stage for laughter. 🍻 A full bar with great drinks 🎭 Intimate setting with front-row energy 🌍 A melting pot of locals, expats & travelers 🪑 First come, first seated – so come early! ## 📅 Event Details 📆 **Every Monday** 🚪 **Doors open:** 19:30 🎤 **Show starts:** 20:00 📍 **The Comedy Pub**, Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna 🗣️ **Language:** English 💶 **Entry:** Free entry – donations welcome (if you laugh, you pay in karma… or cash 😉) ## ✨ Why You’ll Love It Because this is what real comedy feels like. No lights, no filters, no fake laughs — just honest jokes, good people, and that unbeatable live energy that you can’t stream. **Monday Night Laughs** is more than a show — it’s a community, a creative space, and the friendliest way to start your week in Vienna. So come for the comedy, stay for the connections, and leave with sore cheeks from laughing. Monday Night Laughs: Vienna’s English stand-up open mic! Watch & perform every Monday at The Comedy Pub. Free entry, cozy vibe, endless laughs. #MondayNightLaughs #ComedyVienna #OpenMicVienna #StandUpVienna #EnglishComedyVienna #TheComedyPub #ViennaEvents #ViennaLaughs #FreeComedyVienna #ViennaNightlife #ComedyClubVienna #ExpatsInVienna #FunnyVienna #ViennaThingsToDo #LiveComedyVienna #InternationalComedy #ViennaLOL #MondayComedyVienna

Running Distributed AI Workflows with ClearML
Running Distributed AI Workflows with ClearML
Discover how modern AI teams move beyond isolated notebooks and build reproducible, distributed machine learning workflows with **Dario Cavarretta** and **Barbaros Özdemir**. In this 90-minute IBM Developer Austria Meetup session, we will explore ClearML through a practical, live, demo-driven format. Rather than focusing only on slides and theory, we will demonstrate how experiments are created, tracked, executed remotely, and managed as part of a complete MLOps workflow. You will see how ClearML can help teams: * run AI workloads on remote machines while controlling them from a laptop; * track experiments, logs, metrics, parameters, and artifacts; * manage and version datasets and models; * build automated and reproducible machine learning pipelines; * compare model performance across multiple runs; * recover from failed data-preparation steps; * keep data and model execution on controlled infrastructure. Using the TACO dataset for litter detection, we will demonstrate an accessible environmental use case while keeping the main focus on architecture, distributed execution, and the practical value of MLOps. ## Speakers **Barbaros Özdemir — Host and introductory speaker** Senior Managing Consultant and Level 2 Architect at IBM. Barbaros will open the event and provide a practical introduction to ClearML, its architecture, and its core workflow. **Dario Cavarretta — ClearML expert and main speaker** Data Scientist at IBM specializing in visual recognition. Dario will lead the advanced technical demonstration and discuss challenges he encountered while using ClearML in a real client project, along with the solutions and improvements he developed to address them.

If you wish to stay longer/skip some stations DM the organizer so we find each other again at some other stop :) After the event you´re welcome to join for a drink at a nearby cafe/bar! IMPORTANT: A valid ticket for public transport is needed for this event. The event is free of charge but will be limited to max 10 people as it is meant as an opportunity to connect. It is suitable for all regardless of age/level/gear.

Circle by AI&Coffee - In-Person Meetup in Vienna
Circle by AI&Coffee - In-Person Meetup in Vienna
**⚡☕️ Circle by AI & Coffee: Vienna's In-Person AI Community** AI is moving faster than any of us can keep up with alone. The best way to make sense of it and stay ahead is getting in the same room as people who are just as in as you are. That's exactly what AI & Coffee is about. We bring together Vienna's most curious, creative and driven minds for an afternoon of open, honest, energising conversations about **AI in practice, not theory**. No slides. No pitches. No pressure. Just real people, real ideas and real connections over great coffee. ☕🤖 **The first part of the meetup is where everyone introduces themselves for 1-3 minutes, so you get to know who's in the room and share who you are and what you're looking for. It's the most effective networking format to make the most of the time.** **The other half is free networking.** You'll be surprised how many people want to meet you after the intros, and how many caught your curiosity! See you! **☕ What we'll talk about** AI&Coffee is an open conversation, guided by curiosity and driven by the people in the room. Expect discussions around: * What's actually happening in AI right now, the real breakthroughs, the real hype * Tools, projects and experiments people are building and testing * Practical AI use cases across industries: finance, marketing, tech, healthcare and more * Ideas, feedback and fresh perspectives from people at different stages of their AI journey * Bring your laptop if you want to show something you're working on. Some of the best conversations at our last event started with someone sharing their screen. 💡 **👥 Who is this for?** Developers and engineers building with AI. Founders and entrepreneurs exploring AI for their business. Investors and mentors wanting to understand what's coming. Researchers and students at the forefront of AI. Creatives experimenting with AI tools. Corporate professionals curious about AI's impact on their industry. And anyone who can't stop thinking about where AI is heading. If AI excites, challenges or intrigues you, you belong here. **✨ What to expect** A warm, welcoming, relaxed atmosphere where everyone has a seat at the table. Our host kicks things off with a few conversation sparks and the latest AI highlights, then the rest is yours. Meet, talk, connect and exchange freely. No commitment. No agenda. No pressure. Just the kind of afternoon that leaves you energised, inspired and already looking forward to the next one. **🎉 FREE EVENT - The only cost is your own coffee or drink.** Bring your curiosity, your ideas and an open mind, and let's keep building one of the most exciting AI communities in Vienna. 🇦🇹 👉 Register now, spots are limited and go fast!

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
