GalPals is a weekly sapphic event in Vienna designed for queer women, nonbinary sapphics, questioning folks, and anyone who feels at home in the sapphic community. It takes place every single Tuesday, and every week brings the same magic: a mix of regulars and newcomers.

This is a safe, low-pressure, community space where it’s completely okay to be shy, introverted, or socially anxious. Just show up as yourself. Many people come alone, many come with friends, and everyone gets folded into the group.

What makes GalPals special

A warm, affirming environment for all sapphics in Vienna

Consistent weekly rhythm — same time, same place, every Tuesday

A gentle mix of familiar faces and first-timers each week

A space where introverts and quiet folks feel safe and supported

Multilingual crowd (English is common, but speaking English is not required)

Easy opportunity to meet new people, make friends, and build queer community in Vienna

Languages

Most socializing happens in English, but you’ll also hear German, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian, and more. You do not need to speak English well (or at all) to feel included — people naturally shift between languages.

Lavender Lounge - Queer Arts & Crafts Social
2026-03-18 16:00 - 18:00 | Villa Vida Café, Linke Wienzeile 102, Vienna, Vienna, 1060, Austria
Why “Lavender”?

Lavender has a long and powerful history in queer culture. Before rainbow flags existed, the color quietly symbolized queer identity, solidarity, and resistance. It showed up in the fashion of queer circles in the 1940s and 50s, became a coded sign of recognition, and later transformed into a symbol of strength during the “Lavender Scare,” when queer people were targeted and fired from U.S. government jobs.

Today, lavender stands for resilience, creativity, and community care. Lavender Lounge honors that legacy by offering a warm, creative space for queer expression — whether you’re a seasoned artist or just experimenting.

Every Second Wednesday · 16:00–18:00 · Free Entry · Villa Vida Café

Lavender Lounge is Villa Vida’s cozy, community-centered queer arts-and-crafts hangout — a free creative space for anyone who wants to make art, relax, and connect with other queer people in Vienna.Every second Wednesday, you can bring your own supplies, settle into a calm corner, and work on whatever brings you joy: painting, knitting, sketching, journaling, crochet, collage, or any DIY craft you love. No experience needed, no pressure, no expectations.

This is a soft, introvert-friendly space where newcomers and regulars mix easily. If you’re looking for a low-stress queer social event, this is it.

What to expect

A quiet, cozy environment

Free entry, all identities welcome

Bring-your-own-supplies arts & crafts

Queerlig mit Schmäh Comedy Show
2026-03-17 19:30 - 22:30 | Vienna
Queerlig mit Schmäh is coming to Villa Vida Café. The show is hosted by Bianca Klein and brings together FLINTA* and LGBTQ+ comedians for a night where people try out new material in front of a live audience.

Some performers are stepping on stage for the first time. Others have been doing comedy for years. The idea is simple: everyone gets a few minutes, the audience gets something real, and not everything has to be perfectly polished.

The show has already filled rooms at other venues around Vienna, and now it’s settling in at Villa Vida as a regular stop.

What to expect

This is a testing space. Comedians get around 8–12 minutes each to try jokes, stories, or half-finished ideas. Some things land, some don’t — that’s part of the point. It’s relaxed, a bit messy, and usually very funny.

If you like comedy that feels close and personal rather than over-rehearsed, you’ll probably enjoy this.

Want to perform?

If you’d like to get on stage, send a private message to @bianca_klein_comedy or just show up.Stage time is about 8–12 minutes per person.

Come by, grab a drink, and spend the evening laughing with us.

‘Queerlig mit Schmäh’: Die neue queere Comedy Show in Wien – mit FLINTA*- und LGBTQ+-Comedians im Herzen Wiens, moderiert von Bianca Klein.

Nach ausgebuchten Abenden in anderen Locations kommt die Show jetzt endlich in die Villa Vida und wird damit zu einem neuen Fixpunkt der Wiener Comedy-Szene.

Komm vorbei und genieße einen Abend voller Humor und Lachen – mit neuen Perspektiven, abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade.Möchtest du auftreten? Schick eine private Nachricht an @bianca_klein_comedy oder komm einfach vorbei. Bühnenzeit: ca. 8–12 Minuten.

Queer Book Club - Fanny & Stella
2026-03-08 14:00 - 17:00 | Vienna
Why This Book for March?

Our March theme focuses on non-binary histories and the long, often hidden presence of gender-expansive people. Fanny and Stella’s lives invite us to think about identity, visibility, and how society has responded to gender nonconformity across time.

Their story sits at the intersection of performance, community, law, and survival, making it a rich starting point for discussion about how we understand gender today — and how the past continues to shape queer lives.

About the Book

Fanny & Stella: The Young Men Who Shocked Victorian England is a meticulously researched historical account of Ernest Boulton and Frederick Park, two Victorian-era performers and friends who lived publicly in feminine clothing and personas known as “Fanny” and “Stella.”

In 1870, they were arrested at a London theatre while dressed in women’s clothing and charged with “conspiracy to commit sodomy,” sparking a sensational public trial in 1871. Their case became one of the most talked-about scandals of the time, exposing hidden queer social networks and anxieties around gender, sexuality, and identity in Victorian Britain.

Neil McKenna draws from court transcripts, letters, and contemporary reporting to reconstruct their lives, revealing a complex world of performance, friendship, desire, and survival. Rather than framing them as curiosities, the book presents Fanny and Stella as real people navigating rigid social norms while expressing gender in ways that still resonate today.

The story offers a powerful reminder that gender diversity has always existed, even when it had no accepted language or safety.
