1st-ever Improbable Dramatic Readings event in Poland

On Saturday, July 1, 2023 the first-ever Improbable Dramatic Readings event in Poland will happen, as part of  Bazyliszek, in Warsaw. Mikołaj Kowalewski will compere.

BACKGROUND: What Is/Are Improbable Dramatic Readings?

Here’s what happens at this kind of event.

Luminaries (of various wattage) each do brief dramatic readings from seemingly absurd, genuine research studies and patents. Some of those studies and patents have won Ig Nobel Prizes. All of them make people laugh, then think.

The dramatic readers also take questions from the audience — despite and because they have no previous knowledge of the studies they will be reading. The compere attempts to keep some small degree of structure.

Improbable Research invented this kind of event some years ago. It’s happened many times in the USA and a smaller number of times in the UK. Occasionally, we have done an Improbable Research After Dark event, with readings of especially intriguing flavor.

As mentioned above, this July 1 event will be the first ever in Poland.
