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 (like we're having May 16), people mostly deliver pun-filled solo speeches built around a single punning theme. For the Remix, we want anything but. 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.

REGISTERED TEAMS: Logan Anbinder, Rifkin & Son, Cindy & Walt, Gross & Shoup, Maximum Summer, Kumar & Edwards

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)!

Every month The DC Improv is proud to host an open mic night featuring local talent in our main showroom. Many comedians call this area home, and we like to dedicate those nights to them. This month we honor the life of a talented star lost too soon. Dylan Meyer's untimely death on May 26 affected countless comedians and loved ones. To honor his life, this show features some of his friends from the comedy world, and all ticketing proceeds will be donated to the Dylan Meyer Creativity Fund.

The lineup: Rob Maher, Cerrome Russell, Denise Taylor, Paris Sashay, Benjy Himmelfarb, Matty Litwack, Martin Amini, Lafayette Wright, Nathan Luft, Brittany Carney, Wendy Wroblewski. Click here for more on the performers.

This two-day workshop with Ali Farahnakian, a former SNL writer and founder of the Peoples Improv Theater, 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.

Tammy is a lot of things: an Italian-American, a working mom, a TV star, a UFC enthusiast. And best of all, she can find the funny in anything. Tammy got to showcase her straight-up, tell-it-like-it-is comedy in the second season of “Last Comic Standing.” She followed that up with her own reality show (“A Stand Up Mother”) and some top-notch comedy specials. This summer, welcome her back to the DC Improv!

From the South Side of Chicago, DeRay Davis has made himself into a comedic force -- he puts on one of the best live shows we've ever seen at the Improv. He's a presence in Hollywood, with roles in “21 Jump Street,” “Jumping the Broom” and the “Barbershop” movies, to name a few. You’ve also seen him on his new Netflix special, and on the MTV networks as the host of "Hip Hop Squares" and "Joking Off." This promises to be a packed (and fantastic) weekend. VIP TICKETS: Anyone purchasing a "VIP" ticket for DeRay Davis shows is guaranteed a seat in the front rows. (Unless you have exactly four people in your group, you might share a table with other patrons.)

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.

A night of true stories about getting in and out of trouble!

Story District continues its 20 year tradition of showcasing locals telling original true stories on a common theme on the second Tuesday of every month. Be prepared to laugh, think, and possibly tear up as you listen to eight 7-minute true stories about getting in and out of trouble.

Story District has been called the "gold standard in storytelling" by The Washington Post. While some of the stories will be hilarious, this is not a stand-up comedy show. These are true stories from real people, most of whom are taking the stage for the first time ever. Expect a mix of hilarious and heartwarming, light and heavy, but either way, please come to listen and be open to how these stories connect us to our common humanity.

Christian does it all: He's a veteran stand-up with three albums to his name (including one recorded at the Improv). He's an accomplished TV writer and host, for "Black & White," "The Jim Gaffigan Show" and other projects. He's a great comedic actor, from "Chappelle's Show," "Are We There Yet?" and more. And he was one of the first great "talking head" comedians, with tons of appearances on VH1 and cable news shows. He's coming back to DC with a new hour of material this summer.

Cindy uses her abilities to connect her audience with the spirit world. She’s an evidential medium, which means she brings forth specific information about people on the other side; once she establishes a connection, she conveys messages from the departed. Her work takes her all around the world – and now it’s bringing her back to D.C. for another appearance at the Improv.

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.

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.

Tuesday, July 24, 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

A strong character choice can be inspired by anything and will launch a scene if you hold on tight. This workshop will use your sense of play & imagination, and techniques to set you free from the limitations that keep you from making bold character moves that stick on stage. Getting into the head of a character will keep you out of yours on stage. This workshop focuses on the internal and external ways of exploring character for improvised and sketch work. Improvisers will learn to explore the ways to reveal character relationships without using heavy-handed initiations. Aspiring sketch writers will leave with tools to writing a range of characters with depth. Workshop participants can look forward to individual feedback & a chance to demonstrate what they’ve learned in structured performance time throughout the workshop.

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! Please note: VIP tickets provide preferred seating (close to the stage).

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 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 at Pun DMV (or Pun DMV Remix) please e-mail chris@dcimprov.com.

August 2 lineup (so far): Logan Anbinder, Alex Scott, Sophie Miller, Kushaan Shah, Gina Brown, Ryan Olden, Lisa Bonos

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)! Click here for more info on Pun DMV, including some samples of how the games work in practice.

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).
• For our lounge, all shows regardless of start time are seated by time of arrival.

Aries impersonated family members at the dinner table when he was a kid. 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. His live show is quick, confident and aggressive – and it’s still highlighted by spot-on impressions of sports and entertainment stars.

Nikki has done it all: Traveled the country as a road comic, hosted a hit podcast, and starred in a few of her own TV shows – the latest being Comedy Central’s “Not Safe.” Now she’s even a morning radio star, hosting “You Up” on Comedy Central Radio. Fearless and frank, she’s hilarious when talking about relationships and all the other fun stuff that no one really understands.

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.
