**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. #CheckstDuComedy #ComedyWien #StandupWien #OpenMicWien #DeutschComedy #ComedyNightWien #ComedyClubWien #StandupComedyWien #WienLacht #LachenInWien #ComediansWien #ComedySzeneWien #ComedyShowWien #WienEvents #WienNightlife #ComedyLovers #WienOpenMic #GermanComedy #ComedyVienna #ViennaComedy #StandupVienna #ViennaEvents #ViennaNightlife #ViennaOpenMic #ViennaStandup #ViennaFun #ViennaUnderground #ComedyLifeWien #WienHumor #StandupSceneWien #LaughsInVienna #ComedySpotWien #FunnyInWien #AltbaukellerComedy #ViennaLaughs #WienWednesday #FrecheComedy #NewComediansWien #ComedyNewGen #YoungComedyWien

**Monthly "Pub Moot" and Lecture Series- *in English*** **This Month’s Topic:** **Eros and the Sacred: The Origins and Meaning of Sexual Reproduction** *Why does sex exist at all? From a biological standpoint, sexual reproduction is expensive, risky, and complicated — so why did life evolve it? In this talk, Nuphar explores the deep origins and biological logic of sexual reproduction and asks what this tells us about desire, polarity, and human connection. Drawing on her background in biology, she examines how the imperatives of reproduction have shaped human behaviour, relationships, and culture — and what the Western Mysteries and pagan traditions have long understood, symbolically and spiritually, about the sacred interplay of masculine and feminine principles.* Pub Moots will generally be held on the **4th Wednesday** of every month. Sometimes there will be exceptions based on what is going on, so make sure to check back here on Meetup for the exact information All are welcome- experienced practioners, newbies, merely curious, Wiccans and Wiccan-curious and practitioners of similar traditions and those who have no idea why they want to come but just do and even those who don't know a thing but simply like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings and suchlike... :-) **General schedule of the evening:** 19:00- 19:30- Meetup, time to eat and socialize 19:30- 20:30- Lecture and Discussion 20:30-21:00 and beyond- Open discussion and more socializing- eat, drink, and be merry! **Attendance is free** but you will need to buy something at the pub. :-) *(The Pub is old-school Austrian and cash-only, so bring paper money! :-))*

*english below* **Sonntag\, 26\.04\. \| 13:30–15:30 Uhr** **Sprache:** Englisch oder Deutsch, je nach Teilnehmerinnen. *≈ Wir haben schon eine kleine Community und freuen uns, auch neue Frauen\* über MeetUp kennenzulernen. ≈* Komm am Sonntag, den 26.04., zu einem kleinen und intimen Frauen\*kreis zum Teilen, Verbinden und gemeinsamen Praktizieren von Körper- und Atemübungen. Dieses Mal werden wir uns nicht mit einem bestimmten Thema beschäftigen, sondern das teilen, was gerade in uns ist: Welche Herausforderungen haben wir in letzter Zeit, was fällt uns schwer, was leicht? Wie fühlen wir uns gerade? Unsere Frauen\*kreise bieten einen unterstützenden und bewussten Raum, um langsamer zu werden, tiefer in Verbindung zu kommen und zu teilen, was gerade in uns – meist im Zusammenhang mit dem jeweiligen Thema – präsent ist. Wir beginnen gemeinsam mit einer Tasse Tee und nehmen uns Zeit, anzukommen und uns aufzuwärmen. In den zwei Stunden – mit einer kurzen Pause dazwischen – teilen wir unsere Erfahrungen, Gefühle und Herausforderungen sowie unseren Umgang damit. Zwischendurch machen wir themenbezogene Körper- und Atemübungen, die ich anleite. Jeder Kreis ist auf maximal sechs Frauen\* begrenzt, damit jede genügend Raum hat, um zu sprechen, zuzuhören und gehört zu werden. Willkommen sind alle, die sich in irgendeiner Weise mit dem Begriff Frau oder FLINTA identifizieren oder identifizieren möchten. **Wichtig:** Wir sitzen auf dem Boden auf einer japanischen Matte. Es gibt einige Kissen, aber bring dir gerne ein eigenes Kissen und/oder eine Decke mit, wenn du es bequemer haben möchtest. Falls das Sitzen auf dem Boden für dich nicht angenehm ist, stehen auch Stühle und ein Sofa zur Verfügung. Bitte versuche, pünktlich zu kommen, damit wir gemeinsam beginnen und gemeinsam enden können. Bei Fragen gerne privat schreiben. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* **Sunday\, April 26 \| 13:30–15:30** **Language:** English or German, depending on participants ≈ *We already have a small community and are happy to welcome new women\* through Meetup.* ≈ Join us on Sunday, 26.04., for a small and intimate women\* circle for sharing, connecting, and practicing body and breath exercises together. This time, we will not focus on a specific topic, but rather share what is present within us: What challenges have we been facing lately, what feels difficult, what feels easy? How are we feeling right now? Our women\* circles offer a supportive and mindful space to slow down, come into deeper connection, and share what is currently present within us – often in relation to a given theme. We will begin together with a cup of tea and take time to arrive and warm up. During the two hours – with a short break in between – we will share our experiences, feelings, and challenges, as well as how we are dealing with them. In between, we will do guided body and breath exercises led by me. Each circle is limited to a maximum of six women\*, so that everyone has enough space to speak, listen, and be heard. Welcome are all people who identify with the term woman or FLINTA in any way, or who wish to do so. **Important:** We will sit on the floor on a Japanese mat. There are some cushions available, but feel free to bring your own cushion and/or blanket if you would like to be more comfortable. If sitting on the floor is not comfortable for you, chairs and a sofa are also available. Please try to arrive on time so that we can start and end together. Feel free to message me privately if you have any questions.

Our co-organizer Ursula Laa will be giving a talk orgranized by the Young Statistician Forum (FJS), and you are welcome to join! Expect a technical tour of visualisation tools for multivariate and high-dimensional data in R with practical examples! **ℹ️ Abstract** Statistical graphics are central to exploring and modeling complex data. As dimensionality increases, uncovering structure and dependencies becomes more challenging. This presentation gives an overview of practical tools for visualizing multivariate data, from strategic use of scatterplots and scatterplot matrices to linear and nonlinear projection methods. Special emphasis will be placed on tour methods—animated sequences of linear projections—that reveal clustering, outliers, and nonlinear relationships. All graphics will be demonstrated in R, with code to reproduce the results. **🗺️ Location** Seminarraum 16 3rd floor Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna Use this [floor plan](https://event.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/d_event/Dokumente/Raummanagement/PLAENE_NEU/Plaene_OMP/UEbersichtsplaene/01__3OG_Uebersicht.pdf) to help locate the room.

The Mission: Finding Your Strength It’s natural to feel intimidated by the idea of a self-defense class. At Kore, our “First Friday” sessions are designed to replace that hesitation with confidence.

Taught by our Certified Female Instructors, this free workshop focuses on practical applications of the Kore Standard. We help you sharpen your natural intuition and provide a toolkit of effective, simple responses to common safety concerns. This is about building the confidence to navigate the world on your own terms.
