IMPACT FEST 2026 DAY/WEEKEND PASS

IMPACT FEST 2026

International Comedy & Performing Arts Festival

25–27 September 2026 | Warsaw, Poland

WARSAW MEETS THE WORLD.

For one weekend, Warsaw becomes a meeting point for comedians, actors, improvisers, musicians, physical performers and artists from different countries.

Impact Fest 2026 is three days of international comedy, theatre, improv, music, circus, workshops and unexpected live performances.

Come for a headliner you already know. Stay for an artist you have never heard of.

Try a workshop. Watch something completely outside your usual taste. Meet the performers afterwards.

Build your own festival.

HEADLINERS

RADU ISAC

One of Romania’s most distinctive comedy exports, now based in London.

Radu has appeared on BBC, Comedy Central and BBC Radio 4, combining dark ideas, sharp writing and the innocent expression of someone who definitely knows what he has done.

VALERIA VULPE

Winner of the 2025 Spirit of Comedy Award and a comedian who has opened for Ricky Gervais at Wembley Arena.

Valeria joins Impact Fest following her Edinburgh Fringe run, bringing her distinctive international comedy to Warsaw.

MORE THAN A COMEDY FESTIVAL

Across the weekend you can discover performances from artists including:

Thao Cao, Stefan Radovici, Anastasia Ivanova, Piotr Szczęsny Sikora, Liam Duffy, Omnibus and many more visiting and Warsaw-based performers.

The programme moves between genres throughout the weekend:

• Headline stand-up comedy
• Full-length solo shows
• International and alternative comedy
• Improv
• Theatre and monodrama
• Musical performance
• Physical comedy and circus
• Fire performance
• Interactive and experimental shows
• Workshops with visiting and Warsaw-based artists

Some performances will make you laugh.

Some will surprise you.

Some may leave you asking:

“What did I just watch?”

That is part of Impact Fest.

WHAT’S HAPPENING EACH DAY?

FRIDAY — OPENING NIGHT

The festival begins with an international opening programme bringing different forms of live performance together.

Expect comedy, performance, music and the first major shows of the weekend, followed by a chance to meet artists and other festival participants.

A night designed to introduce you to the world of Impact Fest.

SATURDAY — THE BIG FESTIVAL DAY

Saturday is the most expansive day of Impact Fest.

Start during the day with workshops and performances, then move into an evening of international comedy, improv, theatre, alternative performance and headline shows.

You can spend several hours with us or make a full day of it.

This is the day to explore.

Come for something familiar and take a chance on something completely unexpected.

SUNDAY — CREATE, PERFORM, CONNECT

Sunday continues with workshops, theatre, improv, comedy and multidisciplinary performance before bringing everyone together for the final evening of Impact Fest 2026.

A chance to see more visiting artists, discover Warsaw performers and finish the weekend together.

YOUR PASS IS YOUR FESTIVAL

You do not have to choose one show.

Your pass allows you to move through the festival and create your own experience.

Watch a comedian.

Then see an improv show.

Join a workshop.

Discover a theatre performance.

Meet someone from another country.

Then walk into something you had absolutely no intention of seeing.

That is exactly how Impact Fest is meant to work.

TICKETS

DAY PASS — 100 PLN

Access to the paid festival programme on your selected day, including eligible shows and workshops.

Perfect if you want to experience one full day of Impact Fest.

WEEKEND PASS — 180 PLN

Access to the paid festival programme across Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

If you are planning to join us for more than one day, the Weekend Pass offers the best value and gives you the freedom to explore the festival without choosing everything in advance.

IMPORTANT

Festival passes provide access subject to the capacity of each venue.

Some workshops, intimate performances and limited-capacity events may require advance reservation even for pass holders.

Selected events across the festival will also be free to attend, although registration may be required.

The detailed timetable and reservation information will be published separately.

COME FOR THE SHOWS. STAY FOR THE PEOPLE.

Impact Fest is not only about watching performances.

It is about artists and audiences from different places meeting each other.

About trying something new.

About discovering people you did not know before you walked through the door.

For three days, Warsaw meets the world.
