Warsaw Meets The World
This is where Impact Fest begins.
For one Friday night, Warsaw becomes a meeting point for artists, performers and audiences from different countries, backgrounds and disciplines.
Impact Fest is not built around one type of performance.
It is built around discovery.
You might come because you recognise one comedian. You might leave talking about somebody you had never heard of before.
Friday moves from an international opening into showcases, alternative comedy, a full solo performance and then, when the stage programme ends, the first festival After Party.
Come for one show. Stay for the whole night. Meet the people behind the performances.
FRIDAY PROGRAMME
18:00 | Doors open
Come in, settle down, meet people and get ready for the first night of the festival.
18:30–18:55 | Warsaw Meets the World
A live opening bringing Warsaw and our international festival community together.
19:10–20:00 | International Welcome Showcase
Different countries. Different voices. One stage.
A fast-moving introduction to the artists and energy of Impact Fest 2026.
20:20–21:35 | Alternative Comedy Night
Comedy that doesn't necessarily follow the usual rules.
Different formats, different perspectives and performers willing to experiment with what live comedy can become.
21:45–22:35 | Comrade Radovici — Stefan Radovici
A complete solo performance closing the main Friday programme.
22:35 onwards | Friday After Party
The performance ends.
The festival doesn't.
Stay with us, meet artists, talk to people you've just watched and start the weekend properly.
Choose the Friday Day Pass if you want the freedom to experience the whole night.
Or simply choose the individual performance that brought you here.
