ComedySportzDC offers clean improv comedy. Two teams battle for laughs and points as they make up scenes and songs on the spot. The audience shouts out all the suggestions and votes for the winners, while the referee calls the fouls. It's not a comedy show ABOUT sports, it's the comedy show that IS a sport – similar to what you’ve seen on “Whose Line.” This show is "all ages," meaning that people under the age of 18 may attend.

This isn't under the official CSz banner, so all restrictions are off -- things might get a little frisky. Ages 18 and up welcome.

Our tradition continues! Thanksgiving is a time when people head home to see their families … and for Donnell, the DMV is home. He went to TC Williams in Alexandria, and he started his showbiz career by heckling performers at DC comedy clubs before taking the stage himself. His success as a stand-up landed him a spot on “Chappelle’s Show,” securing him a spot in pop culture history, and he became a favorite on some huge East Coast radio shows (including the WPGC morning show). Bring your family out to laugh with one of our favorites.

A (totally real and functioning) time machine has gone haywire, and famous people throughout history are being transported through time to the DC Improv. What happens when historical figures share a stage? They burn each other with hilarious jokes, just like the roasts you've seen on TV. Watch some of DC's favorite local comics get into character (and costume) to play the roles of history's most famous figures -- from musicians and scientists to emperors and warlords -- and roast each other right in front of you. The jokes might be mean, but they're never too soon.

Winston Churchill ..... Landon Letzkus
Woody Allen ..... Rahmein Mostafavi

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.

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. While students are coached to learn new games and skills, less time is spent on preparing for a performance, and more time is spent on simply having fun. 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.

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.

Come out and wordplay! You're invited to watch or compete in Pun DMV, our pun contest. The night is hosted by Dana Fleitman, and it has two events:

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 Freestyle: Each competitor chooses a punning theme, then prepares in advance a two-minute speech packed with puns inspired by that theme. On the night of the show, the competitors deliver their speeches on stage. We'll pick a few finalists, based on quality of puns and overall delivery. Then the audience will decide the winner by cheering. If you'd like to compete in the Freestyle (or Pun DMV Remix) please e-mail chris@dcimprov.com for more information.

The winners of either contest get prizes from the Improv (and eternal glory)! Click here for more info on Pun DMV, including videos of how the games work.

March 2-3 (Saturday and Sunday), 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day with a one-hour lunch break

Spend two days working and learning with Kevin McDonald, a co-founder of the legendary sketch troupe "The Kids in the Hall." Kevin will help you and your classmates write, rehearse and perform sketch comedy.

Some notes from Kevin:

Each student needs to bring a fully charged laptop to the class. During the first day of the workshop, each student will be writing a sketch in class.

On Saturday, each student arrives with a one-line premise for a comedy sketch, such as "What if a guy was kicked out of the KKK for being an asshole?" I will start the class with a short talk about writing and turning premises into full sketches. Then I will hear everyone's premise. And after each premise, the class and I will give short, happy, loving notes. Then it will probably be lunch time. After lunch, all the students take their notes and premises and write a sketch. They have an hour and a half to do so. Once that's done, we will read all the sketches, and I (and just I, in the interest of time) will give shorter, happy, loving notes.

That night, the homework is to re-write your sketch.

On Sunday, after I talk about writing comedy sketches for a shorter amount of time, we read all the revised sketches, with me giving a couple of notes after each one. Then I choose 3 to 5 sketches and cast them, making sure that everyone is in at least one scene. We rehearse each scene, one at a time. At the end of the day, we will put on a run-through so everyone can see scenes that were just one-line premises the day before. And that's the workshop. Oh ya - there is lunch on Sunday too ... of course.

One the great storytelling comedians, Bob has an endless supply of material about his family, his travels and his home state of Maine. We’re always wowed by his ability to give audiences something new, and his good-natured, blue-collar attitude. He still has cult-film cred from his role in "Boondock Saints" and he has made the circuit of all the late night shows. Come enjoy a DC Improv favorite.

Come out and wordplay! The DMV's very own pun contest 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.

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)!

Taylor is a star on the rise. One of the youngest headliners on the comedy club circuit, she has already been featured in a Netflix mini-special and made appearances on "Conan," "The Tonight Show" and "Last Comic Standing." Her stand-up is honest, fearless and fun -- she was one of our favorite acts from 2018. Check out her second headlining appearance with us this spring.
