Stand-up Polska: Of Both Nations

An evening full of laughter and absurd stories, during which Polish comedians will meet in the heart of Lithuania to entertain audiences of both nations.

The event will be held in Polish.

Filip Brymora – Brings a relaxed stage persona combined with carefully crafted material that will satisfy even the biggest comedy snobs. Intelligent, sometimes silly, always loving fun, he’ll take you on a journey through comedy to vent frustrating annoyances.

Łukasz Kowalski – A crumb of sunshine from the Warsaw outskirts in our lives, presenting his own life in a way that rearranges some furniture in the minds of his audience. Gifted with perfect comedic hearing. All this translates into performances that keep you warm long after, like a sip of a good drink taken for medicinal purposes.

Bartek Walos – A man of words rather than deeds. Enthusiast of flexible language and rigid opinions. In the game for years, but always on cheat codes. Your coach’s worst nightmare. He digs where even Scooby-Doo wouldn’t dare to dig.

Cezary Jurkiewicz – A comedian-philosopher whose ultimate goal is to mock and find allies in his unusual perspective on the world. Initially an underground stand-up, now a recognized comedy form for thousands of viewers.

Agnieszka Matan – Comedy teenager, celebrating 13 years on stage. A fan of taxis and good fun. Stand-up comedian, improviser, scriptwriter, and self-proclaimed observer of reality. Member of the Śmiesznie Collective, co-host of the podcast “Ja mam w domu telewizor”, curator of the comedy & film festival “Big Festivalowski”, and creator under the motto “Good Jokes.” Author of shows: Halo taxi, Bilans Trzydziestolatki, Języki obcych, Jesteś u Pani, Miodowe lata, Zapraszam do Gry. She believes only comedy will save us. Suspended between generations and the demands of adulthood. Always curious about what’s around the corner. Avoids scouts. On the internet, she creates both written and video content under the name Halo Matan.

Maciek Adamczyk – One of the most experienced comedians in Poland, doing stand-up for over 10 years. Don’t be fooled by his seniority – despite years of fighting stupidity and lies on the front line, he hasn’t become cynical or bitter. In his shows, he calmly exposes the absurdities and flaws of humanity, bringing them into the light, while also serving them a cup of good cocoa. For years, he has been writing comedy material on topics ranging from legal legislation to the essence of Polish-German Eel Days. He complements his writing with hosting events, radio shows, and even cars – his fields of interest are as broad as his suburban allotment (pumpkins available on request). Through patient work on his small farm, Maciek has learned openness, calmness, and optimism. Combined with a sharp mind honed by making people laugh professionally, he is someone you’ll want to sit down with under a leaf and simply relax.

Michał Kempa – Comedian, lawyer, marathon runner. He’s a comedian, but promotes humor that’s unfunny and sad. He started with performances on TV, in the Congress Hall, and at New York’s Gotham Comedy Club. Later, he performed and won at most cabaret festivals in Poland. He co-hosted the TV show “Lubię to” on TVP1. Currently, he performs in basements. He runs a lot, his shins hurt. He considers himself smarter and better educated than the other comedians from Stand-up Polska. He might not be very funny, but he is likeable. People constantly and awkwardly describe him as a worse version of Andy Kaufman, Andrzej Poniedzielski, or other worse versions of other versions. And he keeps running. And his shins keep hurting. Unfunny, subtle, and full of Bob Dylan. Sadness, more sadness! P.S. He’s an absolute master of long, boring anecdotes and has an overgrown left knee.

Gąsiu – A representative of our country at numerous burlesque festivals, where he hasn’t won a single one. An actor of Poland’s finest plays, usually in supporting roles. An artist with potential, unused for over 30 years. A man of many talents, still waiting to be discovered. Star of the TV show “Czas na Show! Drag me Out!”, which he didn’t win. A performer, activist, and… a guy dressed as a lady.
