Stand-up Polska

What Stand-up Polska does

Stand-up Polska Sp. z o.o. is a Warsaw-based private limited company operating as a collective of 10 professional comedians — Michał Kempa, Maciek Adamczyk, Wojtek Fiedorczuk, Sebastian Rejent, Antoni Syrek-Dąbrowski, Piotrek Szumowski, Cezary Jurkiewicz, Maciej Buchwald, Bartłomiej Walos, and Łukasz Kowalski — who perform live stand-up comedy at clubs and theatres across Poland. Its flagship format is "Wielka Trasa," a bi-annual national tour held each March and October, with ticket sales distributed through its own e-commerce site (standuppolska.pl), plus third-party platforms eBilet and KupBilecik. The company also runs an online shop selling branded merchandise (t-shirts at 85 PLN) and maintains an active YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn presence for audience development.

The commercial model is a hybrid consumer/B2B operation. On the B2C side, ticket sales and merchandise form the core revenue, transacted through a WordPress-based storefront integrated with PayU payment processing. On the B2B side, a dedicated portal (dlafirm.standuppolska.pl) sells corporate events, comedy and improvisation workshops, group ticket packages, online activities (webinars, virtual meetings, streaming), podcast studio rental with audio and 4K video capability, and film production services. Corporate pricing is universally custom and quote-based, reflecting project-specific scope. The corporate client roster includes Żabka, OLX, Żywiec, and BMW. Strategic training affiliations with The Second City and iO Theater (Chicago) anchor the comedic craft base.

The company's competitive position rests on its first-mover standing in Polish stand-up promotion, its founding of Poland's first stand-up comedy school in 2011, and a 10+ year operating history including a 2000-attendee 10th anniversary event. Operationally, it is a small, privately held, founder/collective-driven entity with a modest registered capital of 15,000 PLN, no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no public financials — concentrating both upside (low burn, asset-light) and risk (thin capitalization, talent concentration) in the brand and roster.
