Daniel Midas

Daniel Midas is a Polish stand-up comedian and internet content creator who rose to prominence in 2021 through TikTok. He is best known for the video series Szopka dla reportera (“A Farce for the Reporter”), a parody of the Polish television program Sprawa dla reportera (“A Case for a Reporter”), which was recognized as the best comedy format of 2022. His popular parody videos include Odebrane dzieci (“Children Taken Away”) and 15 lat jest święte (“15 Years Is Sacred”).

In 2022 Midas launched his first major stand-up tour, Sprawa dla stand-upera (“A Case for a Stand-up Comedian”), a title playfully referencing the television format he parodies online, and he has since toured with the program Złote Myśli (“Golden Thoughts”). In 2021 he received a Golden Mics industry award for the year’s biggest breakthrough. He is known for simple, fast-paced storytelling drawn from everyday life, a style that translates to both live stand-up shows and short-form social media clips. In 2023 he presented his second stand-up program, Pokaz Magi (“Magic Show”). Sprawa dla stand-upera was released on YouTube in 2023.
