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.

Late-Night Improv features the "best of the best" from the ComedySportz improv troupe, performing their famous "Blue Show." This isn't under the official CSz banner, so all restrictions are off -- things might get a little frisky. Ages 18 and up welcome. No one stretches to make the material dirty, but unlike a CSz show, no one has to edit themselves.

There’s nothing in the comedy universe that Greg can’t do. His long career as a stand-up has been matched by his international success as an improviser – people everywhere know him from “Whose Line.” For the last few years he’s also been a podcaster extraordinaire, taping “The Smartest Man In the World” at venues all around the globe. (In fact, he’ll be taping an episode on Sunday, June 2, in our main showroom.) These shows are sure to be smart, silly, political and funny as hell.

Greg Proops is The Smartest Man In The World: It's just Proops and you. There's no fanfare. Proops takes center stage at small table and chair setup with a single microphone. Then he's off. An hour of great conversation that flies by at a break neck clip. He crams the feeling of a great two-way conversation into the lecture-style format of a one-way conversation.

Part professorial, part crazed comedian, Proops forms the show around his talent and passions. The show flows like a love letter to tangents. The Proopcast has been to Australia, New Zealand, Montreal, London, Edinburgh, Austin, Cleveland, San Francisco and off the coast of St. Martin in the Caribbean all in one year. Now you must fall.

Be there and experience joy for once in your life.

Dave Chappelle calls Mo Amer “hilarious, thought-provoking and inspiring.” Dave should know, because he regularly brings Mo on the road as his opening act. And now Mo is getting more and more recognition as a headliner. His one-hour Netflix special, “The Vagabond,” debuted in fall 2018, filled with observational comedy, political satire, and tons of material about his experiences as an Arab-American. These shows will be his DC Improv headlining debut.

The Merriment Marauder Tour comes to DC!

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.

Mike Speirs was a social studies teacher. You could argue that he still is, only now the lessons are delivered from a stand-up comedy stage. He's a regular touring partner of DC Improv favorite Bob Marley, and he headlined our lounge in 2017 as part of the Next Wave series. Now he's back for two more shows on a Friday night.

Improvisation director/teacher/actor David Razowsky feels that “all improvisation is acting,” and has seen great changes when an “improviser” starts to think and act as an “actor who improvises.” This weekend intensive (Saturday and Sunday) is focused on getting the actor to organically become comfortable developing a character within a given set of circumstances. Actors will be taught how to effortlessly create instant relationships, compelling points of view, strong character choices, and exciting and natural scenarios. Actors who have worked with Razowsky call his approach “compelling,” “gratifying,” “simple,” and “exciting.” Once you’re exposed to this, you won’t let go. This workshop will be followed by a one-hour performance on Sunday where David will join the cast of his workshop, showing the actors firsthand how his methodology works on stage. His focus, openness, and vivid imagination take the players to places they’ve never been before. This is a rare opportunity to perform with one of improv’s legendary actors.

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.

John Witherspoon is a comedy institution. Most people know him from TV and movies -- he’s the crazy father figure from “Friday,” “The Wayans Brothers” and “The Boondocks.” He’ll do anything to entertain his fans – he once cut a rap album, and he has his own internet cooking show. And he continues to tour as a great stand-up comedian. Spoon is endearing and honest, and he knows how to send a crowd home happy. One of our favorites!

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.

Margaret Cho could be called the Queen of all Media, having conquered the worlds of film, television, books, music and theatre. She has five Grammy Award nominations (two for music albums, "Cho Dependent" and "American Myth") and one Emmy nod for her groundbreaking work on "30 Rock." In 2017, Rolling Stone magazine named her one of the 50 Best Stand-Up Comics, calling her "the sort of funny, sex-positive feminist and LGBT activist younger comics continue to look up to." Equally as important as her creative side is the causes she is passionate about, including her charitable work with gay rights and anti-bullying campaigns. In every segment of her life, Margaret is honest, forthright, passionate, uproarious and always entertaining.

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.
