Telewizja Polsat is preparing the next edition of the Polsat SuperHit Festival, which will take place traditionally at the Forest Opera in Sopot. This year’s edition of the event will be shorter than usual, because it will last only two days – on Friday, May 25 and Saturday, May 26. All because of the lack of organization of the “Sopot Cabaret Night”, which was considered the most popular part of the event.
On Sunday, May 26, Polsat will air the program “That’s how it was – 20 years of Sopocki Hit Kabaretowy”. According to the portal, it will not be a live broadcast, but a program composed of archival performances from the Sopot cabaret in the past. The whole thing will probably have a narrator/host who will announce subsequent skits.

The co-creator of Kabaret Moralny Niepokoju, Robert Górski, is not involved in the project. He confirmed this in an interview with “”, at the same time inviting to the National Festival of Polish Song in Opole on TVP, where cabarets will return after years of break.
Robert Górski, co-creator of Kabaret Moralny Niepokoju, when asked by the above-mentioned website about his participation in Polsat’s latest project, revealed that he is not involved in it. He, in turn, recalled that he was working on a performance during this year’s National Polish Song Festival in Opole on TVP.
Polsat apologizes, but the comedians are unmoved. “Sometimes there are fights at home”
The artist, visiting Kanał Zero in mid-March, announced that Polsat had again invited him to cooperate. – There is a new president at Polsat [Piotr Żak – przyp. red.], who invited us to a meeting. The magic word “sorry” was uttered. There was an invitation to return to the renewed television, which will not repeat past mistakes – revealed the cabaret artist.
Let us recall that in November, the formations creating the “Cabaret live. Young and moral” program on Polsat decided to end cooperation with the solar station. This is the result of Polsat’s October decision, which during the pre-election parliamentary campaign decided to suspend the broadcast of the program and removed sketches critical of the government previously available on social media.
Polsat explained this by using fragments of sketches in the election campaign, which the station’s management did not like very much. In turn, cabaret artists considered it a form of preventive censorship. Program director Edward Miszczak referred to these events during the February schedule conference, when he encouraged artists to return:
Cabarets came to us because public television was closed. Cabarets have left us, but we are still ready for their return. […] The movement is theirs. They said they didn’t want to, but we are waiting. They are happy to have a chance to return home. Sometimes there are fights at home, Miszczak said.
