Programy

Not about roses, not about pansies 2018

Tomek first special recorded in Gdansk at Parlament club during “Elżbietańska 6 na ostro” comedy night hosted by Abelard Giza and Kacper Ruciński which are two OGs of Polish stand-up comedy stage. In 2915-17, Tomek performed as a part of crew Po Prostu Stand-up (eng. Just Stand-up) with Paweł Chałupka and Patryk Czebańczuk and this special is the material from Just stand-up tours. At the time Tomek was 21 so this first special is mostly about emotions and dilemmas of a young man entering adulthood

It’s worthy to have excuse 2019

Tomek's second special was recorded a year after the first one. It was taped in three different locations: Mjazzga Club in Elbląg (100 people), Miasto Club in Bielsko-Biała (250 people), and Opera Leśna in Sopot (5,000 people). It features over 50 minutes of a variety of jokes, including topics like sex life, marijuana, school time, soccer, and politics. The entire show focuses on situations in Kołecki’s life where he was saved by an excuse.

Kołdżej Simpson 2021

Tomek is back after a one-year COVID break with another hour called “Kołdżej Simpson” recorded at 107 Comedy Club in Gdańsk. Despite COVID restrictions that allowed only 50% capacity for the audience, the show was a success, and the story about his stay in the hospital couldn’t wait to be published. This special touches on issues such as relationships, health, and Tomek's favorite plant. This special is also the first one produced by Sebastian Filipkowski, who is from that moment in charge of Tomek’s recordings.

Monetization of Failure 2022

New program recorded in two locations: Club Fama in Bialystok and Club BaRock in Poznań. Tomek presents his fourth stand-up special called "Monetization of Failure." A recording of a fragment of this performance, titled "Arrested," is also available on YouTube in the style of the "Not Happening" comedy storytelling night presented at the Warsaw Comedy Festival PeFKa.

Art Brut 2023

Tomek's fifth stand-up special, recorded at the Kraken Club in Chorzów. What is there to write, more than an hour of funny stories accompanied by colorful metaphors, with Tomek's characteristic smile from under the baseball cap? At the end of the show, you will be treated to a breathtaking story about an unusual appearance at a TVN special event and the unexpected friendship with Jerzy Kryszak, who is one of the figures in Polish comedy.

General Partner 2024

Tomek's sixth special is the first recorded in his hometown at Warsaw's Puenta comedy club. The graceful title "General Partner" may suggest a business theme in this show, but don't be fooled. The range of topics covered is quite broad, and by the end, we even delve into philosophical comedy questions.

The Emperor’s new clothes 2025

In July 2025, Tomek released his seventh stand-up special, recorded in Warsaw at the Montownia Rozrywki venue. He talks about his adventures, such as a car accident with a bus, travels, and health problems, all in his characteristic Koldzej style. Fragments of the show could be seen during the Please Stand-up 2024 and Stand-up Festival 2024 tours.

Kill Tony 2025/2026
