Els van Houtert – Necessarium

Els van Houtert – Necessarium

Nov. 12 & Nov. 13 at 7pm

WUK · Alsergrund • 14-22 €

What do you do in the bathroom when no one's watching? Els van Houtert's solo performance turns private rituals into public art, probing identity, desire, and the stories hiding in everyday habits.

WOOD WIDE WEB

WOOD WIDE WEB

November 11 at 8pm +5

Kosmos Theater · Neubau

A forest's hidden fungal internet comes alive on stage. Three performers weave text, music, and video into a utopian trip through symbiosis, complete with pumpkin births and mushroom explosions.

Kein.Platz.für.Joker

Kein.Platz.für.Joker

November 13 at 6:30pm +12

OFF Theater · Neubau

Uncontrollable laughter in moments of high stress marks Basti as an outsider, driving the bernhard ensemble production at OFF Theater where an aspiring comedian's stage ambitions unravel into a public backlash.

Steinhauer / Rosmanith / Pinkl / Graf / Burger - Karl Kraus: Die letzten Tage der Menschheit

Steinhauer / Rosmanith / Pinkl / Graf / Burger - Karl Kraus: Die letzten Tage der Menschheit

November 17 at 7:30pm

Wiener Konzerthaus · Landstraße

Tones race and rattle through time as Erwin Steinhauer performs scenes from Karl Kraus's monumental First World War satire, accompanied by military music, operetta hits and wine tavern songs in the Mozart-Saal.

NÜTZLICHE IDIOTEN

NÜTZLICHE IDIOTEN

November 26 at 8pm +7

Rabenhof · Landstraße • 34 €

Vienna, city of The Third Man, gets the skewering it deserves. Cornelius Obonya plays every grifter, puppet master, and political clown in a scandalous true-life espionage romp: the wildest lines are verbatim quotes.

Burned Butter Island

Burned Butter Island

November 28 at 5pm

Shakespeare & Company · Innere Stadt

A poetic fairytale where grief melts into hope, like butter in a warm pan. Follow a young boy, a sailor father, a mystical white deer, and a rescuing narwhal toward healing, read aloud in Vienna's coziest English bookshop.

Frequently asked questions

How are these plays in Vienna chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
