Upcoming Events

Every Wednesday in May, from 7:45 a.m. to 8:35 a.m., a group of people get on a Zoom call for breakfast. Here's the catch: Everybody comes on as a character from the beginning of the call and never breaks character. The premise is that everybody knows each other, and conversation and banter stems from these relationships. The Zoom calls are the group's chance to check in and talk about the topics of the day. What happens from there is anybody's guess. The idea is inspired by Will Ferrell and Conan O’Brien talking about their comedic bits on the "Conan Needs a Friend" podcast. Conan O'Brien mentioned when he was doing bits on his late night show with Ferrell, seeing how Will committed to his characters made him commit even harder to the bit himself. The other reason to do this is a chance to start the morning with breakfast and play before the day takes over. Bring the eggs and we will see you there!

These events will be conducted online via video conferencing. Participants must have a reliable Internet connection and a computer or device with a webcam and microphone.

Now, for the first time ever, ComedySportzDC is taking its show on the digital road! Watch with your kids as the players beam their games straight into your living room. They'll be taking your suggestions online -- and a few audience volunteers might even get to pop up on screen to join in.

Every few months, the Improv brings eight great DMV comics together for a one-night stand-up tournament. Each "match" has two comics doing five-minute sets, and the audience chooses one person to advance. At the end of the night, we have a champion. The winners represent the best that DMV comedy has to offer.

For this special show, eight former champs return to the Improv to battle for the title of Grand Champion! The best of the best will be duking it out ... and no matter which comedian is victorious, the audience always wins.

The lineup for June 21: Natalie McGill, Sean Savoy, Rahmein Mostafavi, Wendy Wroblewski, Ross Benoit, Eddie Morrison, Dominic Rivera and Matt Brown.

July 10-11, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. each day.

Graduation show July 12 at 7:30 p.m.

This workshop will focus on you playing “You PLUS”. You a little louder, a little more articulate, a little more awake you answering to your better angels on stage under the imaginary circumstances that will hopefully lead to fun win-win scenes. And your instructor is Ali Farahnakian, the founder of The Peoples Improv Theater.

We will take everything you have been working on in the world of improvisation and solidify your learning thus far. We will work on drills and exercises that will reinforce the vernacular of Improvisation that works consistently. You'll learn how to cut to the chase and get to what the scene is really about while focusing on active listening and reacting while serving the entire piece. Discover how to find all the callbacks and connections in an organic fashion, and cultivating your own personal Improv Samurai, so that you will trust that "Acting Like Yourself" works. As long as you are entertaining yourself, you will entertain others. Nothing suffices like the truth, that's where all the funny comes from.

Prerequisite: Beginning Improv or equivalent training.

This two-day workshop is for anyone who has thought about writing sketch comedy for stage or television. If you've got the ideas and want to know how to build a sketch, this class is for you. This class will demystify what an SNL sketch looks like, what a "packet" for SNL or other sketch shows consists of and what "readers" are looking for in a packet. Please note that each section is limited to 12 people and consists of a 3-hour session each day.

The class will focus on a commercial parody for the first day (which you will bring to the first class) and a two-person, five-page page sketch for the second day. As one of the only former SNL writers teaching in the country, Ali Farahnakian will give you a clear, concise point of view of someone who has been in the belly of the beast. Ali has taught this class to more than 700 people.

AKA "Improv for Fun!" A class for people who want to learn improv games while having fun playing with other improvisers. The focus is on building confidence, communication skills and a sense of play -- improv training often helps people develop teamwork and creative thinking.

This class is both for beginning improvisers who want to learn the games they've seen in shows, and for experienced improv students who want to recapture a sense of playfulness in their games and scenes. Click here to learn more about other comedy school classes.

Tuition for this class is $250. Once payment is made, there are no refunds, exchanges or cancellations. All classes are 18 and over.

Wednesdays, July 15 - August 12, 7:00 - 9:30 p.m. Graduation show August 17.

This course builds on the skills learned in Beginning Improv to develop characters through emotion. Specific characters grounded in strong emotions are why we care about a scene. Expanding off the "Yes and..." foundation, students will learn how to engage with each other while creating interesting characters who interact with each other in meaningful ways. Students will play short-form games and exercises that they've seen on "Whose Line Is It Anway?", and in the DC Improv's Lounge (at ComedySportz and Blue Show performances). The class concludes with a graduation performance at the DC Improv. Prerequisite: Beginning Improv or permission of the instructor and principal.

Hone your improv skills in this workshop with David Razowsky, former artistic director of the Second City Los Angeles!

Sharpen Your Point of View: "Most scenes go off track because we're not aware of our character's or our partner's character's point of view. The very first exchanges of your scene tell you all you need to know about who you are and where to go, every single time. This workshop, hailed as 'Vital ... an eye-opener ...' exposes you to what you're feeling, what your focus is, and what you get to give attention to. This workshop will change the way you look at scenes!

September 12-13 (Saturday-Sunday), 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. each day (including a 1-hour lunch break). Graduation showcase September 13 at 7 p.m.

Deep Dive: This weekend masterclass will focus on using the skill sets of David Razowsky's methodology -- point of view, emotional commitment, scene heightening, making the "un-obvious choice" -- to build and sustain longer scenes, deeper characters, and surprising turns. In other words, creating unique scenes never seen or performed before. Use these learned tools to stretch you in directions you'd never think to go.

The session will end in a culmination performance with Razowsky on Sunday night. Prerequisite: This intensive is open to advanced improv students and anyone who has been in a prior Razowsky workshop.

What do we even need to say about Pauly Shore? His run on MTV transitioned to the big screen, making him one of the most iconic comedy stars in America. He operates one of the most important comedy venues in the country (The Comedy Store in L.A.).

When he said he was coming to town in May -- AND he wanted to do some shows in our lounge -- it was an absolute no-brainer. Get up close with one of the most famous faces in the business!

When purchasing credits, disregard the listed "showtime" on your purchase. Credits may be applied to any available show.

Many people have asked how they can help the DC Improv during these turbulent times. We are so grateful for the outpouring of support, and if you want to help, here's how:

Due to coronavirus regulations, we are not allowed to be open right now. We are using financial reserves to pay our bills. Like most businesses in the same boat, we'll survive for a little while -- but at this time we have no idea when the mandatory closures will end. So we need creative ways to shore up our reserves and survive as long as possible.

You can help us by buying a DC Improv venue credit. In exchange for your $20, we will give you a $25 credit. Once we re-open, you'll have $25 that you can apply toward tickets for the show of your choosing. You just have to call us up, tell us you're using a credit, and we'll help you complete the transaction. We get some extra cash to pay our bills, and you get to look forward to a great show when life returns to normal.

Getting a venue credit is just like buying a ticket. Once you complete your purchase, you'll get a confirmation e-mail that includes instructions on how to use it.

All sales are final. There are no refunds or exchanges.

How to use a venue credit: Credits are specifically tied to the e-mail address you used when making your purchase. When you are ready to apply your credit, call the DC Improv box office (202-296-7008 x0). Tell our service rep that you are applying a credit, and tell them the e-mail address attached to the credit. They will apply the credit toward your desired purchase, and if necessary, help process a payment for any remaining balance.

• There is a two-item minimum per ticket. 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.)

Seating Policies

• For our main showroom, the first show of any night is the "early" show. All other shows are "late" shows. Early shows are seated by time of arrival. The earlier you arrive at the club, the greater your seating options will be. Late shows have assigned seating, and assignments are made in order of ticket purchase. The earlier you buy tickets, the better your seats will be (i.e. closer to the stage). Click here for a more detailed explanation of seating policies.
• For our lounge, all shows regardless of start time are seated by time of arrival.

Mo Amer is going places: His one-hour Netflix special, "The Vagabond," debuted in 2018, filled with observational comedy, political satire, and tons of material about his experiences as an Arab-American. He made his DC Improv debut in the summer of 2019, selling out the club for the entire weekend. He came back in the fall of 2019 for the Mark Twain Prize festivities, honoring his buddy and mentor, Dave Chappelle. Dave calls Mo "hilarious, thought-provoking and inspiring" -- see him on our stage and we think you'll agree.
