About On Tap Comedy
Bringing laughter to audiences one show at a time
Meet Sylwia Schwartz
Stand Up Comedian, Improviser & Host of On Tap Comedy
With over 15 years of performance experience spanning two continents, Sylwia brings a unique international perspective to Barcelona's comedy scene. Originally from Poland, where she began her improv journey, she combines sharp observational humor with the spontaneity of improvisation.
Sylwia started doing stand-up in September 2023 and quickly made her mark on the Barcelona comedy circuit. By January 2024, she became a show-runner and launched On Tap Comedy, hosting her own open mic every other Friday at Imprfcto Poblenou.
Her passion for comedy extends beyond stand-up. As one half of the improv duo "Black and White," she's performed internationally, including at the International Improv Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria. She's also a regular performer in the "Eurotrash" split hour show across Barcelona's comedy clubs.
