Upcoming Events

Tuesdays, March 8 - April 5, 7 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Participants in this class must be vaccinated against COVID-19.

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.

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

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 let us know via the form at this link.

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

Love and marriage, love and marriage.
Go together like a horse and carriage.
These two plan to be wed
It's too bad somebody will drop dead

We’re having a wedding and you’re all invited. Die Laughing Productions presents Love and Marriage and Murder. It’s the bride and groom’s big day. Bells will ring, the sun will shine, they’ll love until the end of time. End indeed! This is a murder mystery; a wedding whodunit! Can you solve it and live happily ever after?

Love and Marriage and Murder stars 98 Rock’s Justin Schlegel, Joe and Katie Robinson (our real life newlyweds) and all your favorite Die Laughing Productions performers. But the real stars of the show are all you wedding crashers in the audience. We have audience roles available for willing volunteers. The rest of you can sit back, laugh and enjoy the wedding day ruined by an untimely death and maybe help answer whodunit.

Erin started her entertainment career right here in Washington, working her way from the open mic circuit to the Improv stage. She found national success, with appearances on “Last Comic Standing” and “Ellen,” and most recently on Tiffany Haddish's Netflix series "They Ready." Comedy has taken her around the country again and again, and she was the first headliner to take our stage when we reopened in April 2021. Now she's back for another weekend in the nation's capital!

New York City’s premier hip hop improv comedy team, North Coast, is a unique collaboration of improvisational comedy, hip hop, beatboxing, and music. This musical improv workshop will get even the most beginner performers comfortable and confident with freestyle rapping and will teach you how to really drill into the deal of your scene and its characters. Learn how to set yourself up, find your flow, and weave your rapped verses in and out of your improv scene-work.

The workshop then continues to develop your hip hop improv skills with exercises designed to expand rhythm, polysyllabic rhymes, and plugging into musical archetypes. Trust your instincts and make bold choices with your hooks, while nailing the fundamentals. Improvisers will continue to hone their scene-work so raps are more focused on exploration and less focused on inventing new information.

The BAT is an advanced format piece that takes place entirely in the dark! Working with instructor Chris Ulrich, the class will focus on ensemble building by developing the BAT as a performance piece, loosely based off of the Harold. The BAT is filled with amazing soundscapes, and sound cues to generate themes, ideas, and concepts to associate off of and create a performance piece of the mind for an audience. The piece takes place completely in the dark. The BAT gives you, the improviser, the opportunity to sharpen your improv skills, increase fearlessness and decrease mental limitations that may be in the way of elevating your performance. It will call on you to marshal every improv skill you have and push you to grow further.

Some stand-ups really know how to work a room. "Crowd work" is the art of chatting with the audience when on stage. When done right, it creates a conversational atmosphere -- sometimes building a bridge to a comedian's best jokes, and sometimes leading to totally unscripted, in-the-moment laughs.

Here in the DMV, Tim Miller is one of the best at crowd work. At "Read the Room" he hosts a lineup of local talents doing predominantly crowd work. Join him in our lounge showroom for what could be a unique, unforgettable live comedy experience.

Tim has been on Comedy Central & TRU TV and is also the host of Read the Room podcast on Podbean, iTunes and wherever you enjoy podcasts.

The lineup for March 17 is TBA.

Ron is one of the most distinctive voices in comedy – in terms of both his material and his actual voice. His giggly, laid-back stand-up comedy made him the toast of Portland, Ore. But in the last few years he has busted out on the national stage, with roles in sitcoms (“Undateable” and “Powerless”), movies (“Trolls”) and lots more. His one-hour Comedy Central special "Giggle Fit" broke all kinds of ratings records and he even has a new podcast called "Gettin' Better." Check out a true original.
