Admission Policies

Please note: An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. Senior citizens and people with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. By visiting our establishment, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.
Patrons must be 18 or older to attend events or classes at the DC Improv. Any exceptions are clearly noted in the event descriptions.
There is a two-item minimum per customer. This can be any combination of food items or beverages. Bottled water and soft drinks count as items. (The two-item minimum does not apply to comedy classes.)
Coupons or passes for free admission cannot be used for a show listed as a "special event."

Seating Policies

Matinees, the first show of any evening in our main showroom and all shows in our lounge showroom are seated by time of arrival. The earlier you arrive, the more options you'll have. Please note that the size of your party can affect what options are available to you, as certain tables and areas are designated for larger parties.
"Late shows" in the main showroom have assigned seating. Assignments are made in order of ticket purchase. Generally speaking, the earlier you buy tickets, the closer you will be to the stage.
If tickets are designated as being at a "reserved table," your party will have a table to itself. For general admission tickets, if your party does not fill an entire table, you may be sharing a table with other patrons.

The New York Times opines that comedian and CBS "After Midnight" host Taylor Tomlinson “demonstrates tight joke writing, carefully honed act-outs and a ruthless appetite for laughs.” New York Magazine adds, “Watching Tomlinson gives you the same comfort as a Swift concert or a Broadway show that’s been on for years. This is a professional. This performance will be ultra-produced. You do not need to be anxious,” and the Los Angeles Times observes, “Even when she’s navigating painful waters, she can’t help but find the humor ... her wit and pinpoint delivery reveal both an incisive writer and also a talented actor.”

Her third hour-long special "Have It All" debuted February 13, 2024, on Netflix. It follows her critically acclaimed specials "Quarter-Life Crisis" and "Look At You." Her first special was named “Best of 2020” by New York Times, Decider and Paste. The Washington Post called Tomlinson, a TIME100 honoree and Forbes’ 30 Under 30 star, “your favorite quarantine-watch.” Newsweek dubbed her “undeniably hilarious.”

On January 16, 2024, Taylor debuted as the host of "After Midnight," which airs on CBS weekdays at 12:37 a.m. ET/PT.
