Polish Stand-Up Comics Get Demolished in Local Press

In local periodical,Poland's young and ambitious (and sometimes madly self-centered) stand-up comedians were torn a new one by Warsaw based Rzeczpospolita TV in a recent article titled, "Zacięta Walka" (fierce battle). In the article writer Julia Rzemek and Krzysztof Materna cast doubt on the current state of stand-up comedy and write that, "Among the talented [Stand-Up Comics] of Poland's young scene, there are no masters." A painful thing to hear when channels like Comedy Central and Polsat have created shows centered on showcasing the same 10 or so "top-comics" currently active in Poland. When you see the same comic on two tv shows in the USA it means he's got something special, in Poland it means he bothered to go to the audition.
