More about the comics:

Aditya Akolkar
Adi’s claim to fame is that he’s an Indian with glasses who doesn’t work in IT. Relocating from Mumbai to Kraków has been a massive cultural shock for him and is also the main source of his comedy. He hopes that someday he will stand out in a crowd…because of his humor and not because he’s the only non-white guy in a 1km radius in Poland.

Alban Vogel
Alban is a french german comedian who studies medicine in Krakow, mainly to make his parents proud. His comedy will give you an insight into his life and all the weird things he got to do and see. His experiences shape his jokes into unpredictable, lovable stories told with a German efficiency. Outside of comedy Alban likes to eat pizza and inflate his ego about the fact that he is a medical student and that he did stand up once in Cambodia.

David Mbeda Ndege
David is the best, and only, black Polish comedian.He is also a doctor, trombonist, and sorcerer. He’s been doing stand-up in
Polish for the last 6 years, and just started 2 years ago in English while in Canada. He was on Comedy Central, TVP, Polsat, Netflix, TVN…in fact, all over tv…but they usually cut him out. He’s basically Sean Bean, but instead of dying you know he’ll be cut out. He has two dreams: to make somebody laugh to death and to save someone’s life!

Łukasz Raszka
Łukasz performs regularly at Kraków Standup Comedy. He’s great at making fun of his own mistakes and misfortunes. That makes it easy for him to constantly come up with new material. He also thinks that four sentences are enough for a bio.

Makszym William Urbanowicz
Born and raised in Cracow, Makszym has always loved being on stage. He made his debut playing a role of a Cucumber in a kindergarten show and it was probably this event that led him to the English Standup comedy scene. Makszym is in a toxic relationship with useless subjects that are not profitable and likes to give fun facts nobody asked for.

’An arrogant narcissist, always talking only about himself’ – Makszym about himself.

Michael T. Lo Piano
Michael is a 2019-2020 Fulbright Fellow and doctoral candidate hailing from New Haven, Connecticut and living in Kraków. In his time absconding from his duties to the US Government, he likes people to point and laugh at him. When he grows up, Michael dreams of being as cool as his parents or maybe, like, a firefighter or something.

Thom Milner
Thom Milner is a comedian from Yorkshire, England, who quit his engineering job and is now based in Krakow working as a pubcrawl guide; an unusual career progression! He likes to write songs about his failed love life and hopes that he will find someone special from the audience at one of his gigs soon. He has been performing since 2013 including at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2014, 2015 and 2016 and Krakow Comedy Festival 2017. He has gigged in many cities in the UK and around the world such as Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Budapest and Singapore and completed training courses in improv and clowning techniques.

And your host for the evening…

Mark Wawrzyniak
Host of the weekly Sunday night Kraków Standup Comedy show and founder of the show, „Standup to the Dragon”, the observational comedy of Mark has been not only in Kraków and around Poland, but also in the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary and the USA. From the questionable, and more-likely-than-not, damaging babysitting techniques employed by his Babcia and Oma, to the numerous hours spent cramped in Lufthansa Economy Class, the carry-ons he brings to stage for your amusement is his emotional and psychological baggage.
