Rafał Rutkowski Stand-up Kołobrzeg | Rafał Rutkowski in the show "Time Machine"

25.10.2026

In his fourth solo show Rafał Rutkowski travels through time. In his style, he contrasts the present with the past. Was it better before? Are we living in the best times now? Is artificial intelligence humanity's hope or its downfall? How much has technology changed us? Are we wiser than our ancestors? Or is human folly thriving? Rutkowski also revisits childhood in the Polish People's Republic, recalling the absurdities of those times. He recalls the Fiat 126p craze, mustard queues, meat ration cards, and parties during martial law. He talks about his first trip "west" and long-distance flirting with his Swedish wife. He also reveals how he impressed a girl with aerial stunts and used contraception in Belarus.
