All Ears On Us!

This week's episode is a Swapcast with the FFPÖ podcast, where Reginald Bärris sat down with comedians Paul Jacobs, Jack Holmes, and Monika Ben to watch and discuss an episode of the former hit Austrian show "Kommisar Rex." Having taken notes to keep the show fresh in the minds, Paul Jacobs leads the group through what is supposed to be a structured discussion, but instead becomes more like a typical All Ears on Us Podcast: a free-for-all of funny!www.ffpoe.atwww.facebook.com: @pauljacobscomedy @jackholmesacoustic @thereginaldbarris @actofkaawww.facebook.com/ViennaChuckles

This week Reginald Bärris sat down with comedian and historian Paul Jacobs to talk about history! In what may or may not be the inaugural episode of a spin-off podcast, Paul and Regi discuss WWII, starting with Regi's very limited understand of the war and his absurd assumptions to fill in the gaps. Afterward Paul puts him in his place before unveiling some secret Nazi technology.Paul is also the host of the FFPÖ podcast--a niche podcast that discusses Austrian film and television. It's a fun podcast that has featured many of the comedians from the Vienna scene, including Reginald Bärris and most of the comedians you know from AEOU!www.ffpoe.atwww.facebook.com/TheReginaldBarriswww.facebook.com/ViennaChuckles

This week Reginald Bärris flies solo! Reginald Bärris is an American stand-up comedian based in Vienna, Austria, and is the regular host of Vienna Chuckles’s comedy shows. Unable to find a guest this week, Regi sits alone in a room talking into a microphone like a lunatic. Left to his own devices, Regi rants about Florida, white doctors, and zombie drugs, before explaining why history doesn’t matter, Holocaust conspiracy theories, slavery’s lack of consequences, and his lack of sympathy about Trump’s Muslim Ban.www.facebook.com/TheReginaldBarriswww.facebook.com/ViennaChuckles

This week Monika Ben returns to the show, after bringing Reginald Bärris a care package, including bread, Oreos, and a baby food. Monika try and ultimately fail to talk about Monika’s upcoming journey to Tanzania and Uganda, where she plans to “hug black babies” for the next 4 months. Instead, the two go off on tangents in “Monika voice” where they discuss Russian intervention in WWII, an economy based on paperclips and shoelaces, the friendly, neighborhood dead guy, and whether it’s more PC to hug “black” or “brown” babies. The discussion is far from factual, but said with such conviction and hilarity that it makes you want to believe!For more of Monika, go to Africa—she’ll be the translucent European woman hugging frightened children. Also, check out her resident theaters in Bratislava if you’re in Slovakia. And check out Vienna Chuckles for stand-up comedy shows in Vienna!www.facebook.com/ActofKaawww.facebook.com/TeatroEsPanicowww.facebook.com/TheReginaldBarriswww.facebook.com/ViennaChuckles

In this week's episode, Reginald Bärris sits down with comedian Hanna Evensen for likely the last time before she leaves the Vienna comedy scene. In a rare act of altruism/apathy, Regi lets Hanna guide the conversation in the ridiculously hot dorm room, and the conversation goes from almost incoherent silliness to ASMR act-outs before settling on their most bizarre dreams.Also the two decide to organize a headlining going-away show for Hanna at the end of the month to give her the proper sendoff before she heads stateside. The show will be called "Auf WIENERsehen" and will take place at GRIND in Vienna on June 27th. If you're in the Vienna area, you're not going to want to miss it!www.facebook.com/HannaEComedywww.facebook.com/TheReginaldBarriswww.facebook.com/ViennaChuckles

Fokke is the co-owner of Café the Joker, the venue where the boys performed the Belgian leg of their tour. Recorded in the basement of the venue, this episode was initially an episode of Fokke's podcast "Fokcast," but by the power of democracy, we decided to release it on All Ears on Us as well. The boys have a fun chat about their names, origin stories, and it becomes apparent that Jack has no idea where he is!www.facebook.com/CafeTheJokerwww.facebook.com/JackHolmesAcousticwww.facebook.com/TheReginaldBarriswww.facebook.com/ViennaChuckles

In this week's episode Reginald Bärris sits down with Jack Holmes in a borrowed apartment in Munich to recap. Most of the way through their "Was Der Fuck!?" Tour (sponsored by "In Stitches - Comedy in Graz"), the two recount their tails from the road.

All this and more is explain through a series of funny anecdotes and bitter rants from the road!www.facebook.com/JackHolmesAcousticwww.facebook.com/InStitchesComedywww.facebook.com/TheReginaldBarriswww.facebook.com/ViennaChuckles

This week Reginald Bärris sat down with American comedian John McCombs for an episode of John's podcast "Laugh in My Language." He's currently traveling around Europe recording his show to showcase the differences between different comedy scenes in each European country he visits. It's a little different than a normal AEOU pod, but it's informative all the same. Since it's a little different than a usual episode, Regi recorded an introduction with Jack Holmes from the road. They're currently in the Netherlands leg of their "Was Der Fuck!?" Tour. Next week's episode will be back on brand and will feature the very funny Jack Holmes from somewhere along their tour through Europe.

In this week's episode, Reginald Bärris sat down with comedian and actress Monika Ben! Based in Bratislava, Monika is affiliated with "Joke's on You" and has also been featured on several comedy shows in Vienna. Having such a high degree of exuberance and overall joy, Monika's mind will forever remain an enigma to Regi, but that didn't stop them from having a great conversation, spanning from the "intricacies" of Slovakia's culture and traditions, Slovak parents, Regi's failed mystery company, pity food disguised as cultural exchange, suicide, burlesque, and Monika's uninformed opinion about Regi's penis.www.facebook.com/TeatroEsPanicowww.facebook.com/TheReginaldBarriswww.facebook.com/ViennaChuckles

In this week's episode Reginald Bärris sits down with Bratislava-based comedian/producer Sia! Recorded live from their room in a Prague hostel in front of the reluctant and unsuspecting residents of their 11 bed dorm room, this episode was a second attempt at a podcast after technical issues ruined the podcast they recorded while gigging in Brno. Lo and behold, we had the same issue again...So our apologies for the issues--won't let it happen again!Sia will be featured on the "Refugees Welcome" English Comedy Night at Vienna's Kabarett Vindobona on May 16th, and he also organizes regular shows in Bratislava, Brno, Prague, and Wroclaw with "Joke's on You."
