Impact Fest 2026

IMPACT FEST 2026
September 25–27 | Warsaw, Poland

Three days of stand-up comedy, improv, theatre, music, workshops and live experiences in the heart of Warsaw.

Impact Fest brings together artists and audiences from different countries to perform, learn, collaborate and discover new ideas.

This is not just a weekend of shows. It’s a meeting point for performers, creatives and curious people from Warsaw and beyond.

Expect international stand-up, theatre, improv, workshops, interactive performances, outdoor acts, music, after-parties and plenty of moments that are hard to put neatly into one category.
