Arnez J is one of the most physical comedians working today – which isn’t surprising, considering he flirted with careers as a Harlem Globetrotter and a baseball player. His gift for telling and acting out jokes gives him broad appeal, which was on display during his two seasons as host of “Comic View.” In March, you might have caught him at Constitution Hall -- but now you get to see him up close and personal this September.

We will build on the principles of "yes and," active listening, observation, structure and support to expand how we approach scenes and play at the top of our intelligence. We will focus on bringing presence into scenes, finding the funny or game within the scene, honing characters and relationships. Also, we will explore key elements such as emotional reactions and heightening and creating rich environments through realistic object work. Finally, we will deepen your improvisational scene intelligence by learning baseline long-form techniques including walk ons, tag-outs, split screens, dynamic group scenes, and other tools to take your improv skills to the next level. Click here to learn more about Chris’ other classes.

Come out and wordplay! The DMV's very own pun contest now has its very own spin-off. The night is hosted by Dana Fleitman and consists of two events:

The Remix: In a Pun DMV "Freestyle" competition people deliver pun-filled solo speeches built around a single punning theme. The Remix is for everything else. This event is open to teams, one to three people in size. Perform a sketch, sing a song, do a PowerPoint presentation, improve on a classic movie scene, show us a video you prepared in advance, bust out some props. Whatever you do, just make your presentation punderful, and no more than 4-5 minutes in length. E-mail chris@dcimprov.com if you want to compete, or if you have any questions about participating in this event.

Remix teams so far: Emily Simon, Logan Anbinder, the Natural Disaster Club

The Tournament: An on-the-spot punning tournament featuring up to 20 people. At the start of each match, contestants are given a theme. They then take turns making up puns on the spot. People are eliminated when they're stumped. The last person standing moves on to the next round (or victory)! Anyone in attendance can compete, and you can sign up on site when you arrive.

The winners of either contest get prizes from the Improv (and eternal glory)!

She was dealing drugs and had two children before she was 16. She spent her 20s raising six kids (including four of her sister’s) and scraping to get by. But those experiences became the foundation for her honest and fantastic stand-up. Since taking to the stage in 2003, she has never slowed down.

He was on stage at comedy clubs by the time he was a teenager, and before he hit 20 he launched a career in show business that’s still going strong. Aries is famous for his long run on “Mad TV,” which showcased his amazing ability to mimic and mock celebrities.

Cinema icon Jason Mewes is best known as the potty-mouthed vocal half of Jay and Silent Bob, the on- screen comedic duo who first appeared in Kevin Smith’s seminal 1994 indie film Clerks. Mewes would reprise the character five more times on the big screen from 1995 to 2006, becoming a sort of James Bond of mid-90’s low budget film—a fast talking, foul-mouthed, over-sexed but ultimately harmless and likable guy. Bugs Bunny with a boner.

But it’s in the insanely popular award-winning podcast Jay & Silent Bob Get Old where Mewes truly shines. For nearly seven years, in what’s been described as “Lake Wobegon days with anal jokes”, Jason has told the story of his tumultuous life on stage every week.

VIP tickets include preferred seating and a post-show meet-and-greet.

Millions of people have gotten to know Roy for his work on “The Daily Show,” and millions more remember his work on the TBS sitcom “Sullivan and Son.” But long before those gigs, Roy was known as a beast on the stand-up circuit – someone who was cracking up audiences coast to coast. He returns to the DC Improv this December for another weekend headlining on our main stage.

No two Flip Orley shows are the same, which is why he's been a DC Improv favorite since the 1990s. Flip uses hypnosis to turn audience members into the stars of the show. He leads volunteers through twisted scenarios, getting reactions that are almost beyond belief – and he does it all without humiliating anyone. Whether you’re on stage or watching from the audience, Flip’s show is unforgettable. And no, we weren’t hypnotized into writing this.

Dov currently appears on HBO’s “Crashing” and NBC’s “Shades of Blue” with Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta. He’s been seen on “The Tonight Show” and “Late Night” as well as in a lead role alongside Mark Wahlberg in the movie “Invincible.” He’s done comedy specials for Comedy Central and Showtime, and recently had a memoir published by St. Martin’s Press entitled ‘Road Dog’, life and reflections of a standup comic from the road. And (most important) he’s back at the DC Improv to close out 2018.
