- The nearly fifty-year history of Lidzbark Evenings of Comedy and Satire perfectly shows how important the role of the performing art form known as cabaret is in Polish culture. For a few days, Lidzbark Warmiński becomes not only the loudest laughing city in Poland, but also a place where young artists can take an important step in the development of their stage career. We are glad that as Bank Millennium we can support culture both at the local and national level - says Dariusz Spirydowicz, Regional Director in Bank Millennium.

Lidzbarskie Wieczory Humoru i Satyry is the oldest cabaret festival in the country, under the patronage of Ignacy Krasicki, held in Warmia since 1976.

This year's events will begin with an evening with Beata Harasimowicz and Zuzanna Dobrucka, who will talk about their adventure with cabaret as producers of the largest cabaret events and festivals in the country. On Thursday we will witness a tournament in which mostly young debutantes will perform on the cabaret stage. Friday is the Cabaret Night under the Stars in the Municipal Amphitheatre, where - apart from the winners of the tournament "Szpilka" - the performers will include Kabaret Paranienormalni, Kabaret Zdolni i Skromni, Kabaret Jurki or Kabaret Czesuaf. On Saturday, members of the latter cabaret will unveil a commemorative plaque in the Avenue of Stars of the Polish Cabaret located next to the Lidzbark castle. The festival will end with a stand up evening, where a dozen or so stand-uppers from all over the country will meet in the sporting spirit of stage competition.
