Neo-Nówka o wpadce Andrzeja Dudy w Davos
Kabaret Neo-Nówka celebrated their 26th anniversary during the 63rd National Festival of Polish Song in Opole with a high-energy performance at the Amfiteatr Tysiąclecia. The comedy troupe’s set featured a satirical sketch about preschool education that poked fun at former President Andrzej Duda’s 2020 speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
How Kabaret Neo-Nówka Used Satire in Opole
The troupe appeared as the stars of the comedy evening on a Saturday night. Their performance blended memories of the group’s history with their most popular program styles, drawing loud applause and laughter from the crowd.

One specific sketch depicted a parent picking up a child from a preschool. During the scene, a preschool worker commented on the prevalence of learning disabilities, noting that many children now have various “dys” diagnoses, such as dyslexia and dysgraphia.
The routine peaked when the performer joked that even the former president has “this is, this is.” This line triggered significant laughter from the audience gathered at the amphitheater.
Why the “This Is” Reference Matters
The joke refers to a specific moment from 2020 when Andrzej Duda spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos. During that appearance, the president struggled with fluency in English, leading to the repetitive use of the phrase “this is, this is.”
According to the details of the event, this linguistic slip became a lasting target for internet memes and critical commentary. By bringing it back to the Opole stage, the troupe tapped into a well-known cultural reference to elicit a reaction from the public.
What Could Happen Next for the Troupe
Given the positive reception at the Amfiteatr Tysiąclecia, the troupe may continue to integrate political commentary into their anniversary tour. Their willingness to joke about figures like Andrzej Duda and Karol Nawrocki suggests a trend toward sharper social satire.

Future performances could likely see more references to current events if the audience continues to respond with the same level of enthusiasm. This approach may help the group maintain its relevance as it moves beyond its 26th year of operation.
