{{Teaser|
[[Panč Festival]] is an international stand-up comedy festival which was established in [[established::2008]] in Ljubljana by the [[Kurz Rock Vibe]] crew. This four to five days long event that usually takes place at the [[Ljubljana Castle]] courtyard is the central stand-up occasion in Slovenia. It has hosted most, if not all of the leading Slovenian performers from this field as well as a strong international line-up, with the guests being invited from all over the world. The name of the festival is a derivative from the term ''punchline'', which connotes the joke's climax.
 
Besides this main summer event, since the year 2010 there is a winter edition of the festival as well, a slightly more low-key evening called ''Zimski Panč'' [Winter Panč]. This has been held at different Ljubljana venues like [[Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture]], [[Cvetličarna]] and the [[Festival Hall]], and was for a time also simultaneously organised in Maribor at [[Narodni Dom Maribor]]. The festival also had an over the border venture in Zagreb, Croatia, where a sister event ''Pančić'' was organised.
