PREMIERE · JUNE 5 · 7:00 PM

PunchLab × Secret Room — a live comedy show in Gdańsk
Six comedians from three countries. One Thursday night. Live humor with no retakes, no filter, and no fast-forward button.
Secret Room has been operating at the crossroads of a restaurant and a lounge bar for years. Signature cuisine, cocktails built by the Bar Chef, music, evenings that start with dinner and end much later. Now, stand-up enters the mix. PunchLab is a comedy collective that launched in Gdańsk and plays its first shows right here, at Stępkarska 7.

ABOUT PUNCHLAB

Behind the scenes at PunchLab

The collective is made up of comedians from Moldova, Belarus, and Ukraine. Each one settled in the Tri-City area, each one brings a different perspective to the stage. It's shaped by the country they left, the language they think in, and everyday life on this side of the border. That mix produces material you can't write sitting at a desk.
‍
One thing that sets this format apart from watching stand-up on YouTube. The comedians work with the room. They improvise, react to the audience, and get into conversations with people at the tables. The material is original, but every show plays out differently because the crowd is never the same, and the venue on Stępkarska is intimate enough that the comedian can see every face in the first rows.
‍
Beyond classic stand-up nights, PunchLab is planning roasts, women's comedy evenings, and improv shows. The first step is a show on June 5 at a restaurant that, since opening, has been built around the idea that an evening out can offer more than just dinner.

MEET THE LINEUP

Meet the cast of the premiere night

Six comedians, six different paths to the microphone.

Olya

founded the collective and runs its shows. If it weren't for her, this page wouldn't exist.

Anastasia

co-organizes the collective and performs herself. Her humor likes to go where others hesitate. The rest of the crew describes her simply as the one who catches you off guard with bold material. The rest you'll have to see live.

Alexander Mishchenko

hosts the evening and handles the improv. He connects the sets, keeps the room's energy up, and feels most at home when something goes sideways. Within the collective he goes by the title of improv king. So far nobody has taken it from him.

Mykola

is your mom's friend's son. The one you hear about at every family dinner. You'll recognize the type instantly, except here he tells the story himself, with punchlines nobody would repeat at the table.

Vitaly

built his stage experience in New York. He's now testing that material on a Gdańsk audience.

Liza

is the cat-girl and the cherry on top of the collective, as the rest of PunchLab describes her. What does that mean in practice? Best to come and find out.
