Red Grant

Red Grant

Red Grant is an American comedian, actor, writer, and producer. Known for his infectious laugh and his unrelenting work ethic, Red spends a solid 48 weeks a year on the road doing standup.

Red began his career in 1996 performing at New York's Apollo Theatre. He's since gone on to star in such films as "American Hustle" and "First Sunday" alongside contemporaries Katt Williams, Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan. Red has performed on "Shaq's All Star Comedy Jam" and appeared in Comedy Central's "Reality Bites Back." He has written for Snoop Dogg's "Dogg After Dark" and Comedy Central's "Roast of Flavor Flav." And he has graced the small screen in his own hour-long Showtime special "Caught Red Handed" and Comedy Central Presents' half-hour special "Red Grant."

Passionate about the world of entertainment, Red took the next step and made a name for himself as a producer, writer and director for film and television. In 2000, he wrote and produced his first film "Family Reunion." He then went on to create and produce a number of projects for the Viacom Network through his film company MOVIEOS in partnership with Lionsgate Entertainment.

As an avid golfer and humanitarian, Red takes pride in giving back to the community, which he does with his annual charity golf tournament "Golf Beef." Some of his cohorts who've joined him for the event include Snoop Dogg, actor/comedian Cedric The Entertainer, Hall of Famers Gary Payton and Jim Brown, former NBA champion Matt Barnes, and long-drive champion Troy Mullins -- to name a few.

Red was born and raised in Washington DC.

Admission Policies

  • Patrons must be 18 or older to attend events or classes at the DC Improv. Any exceptions are clearly noted in the event descriptions.
  • There is a two-item minimum per customer. 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.)
  • Coupons or passes for free admission cannot be used for a show listed as a "special event."

Seating Policies

  • Matinees, the first show of any evening in our main showroom and all shows in our lounge showroom are seated by time of arrival. The earlier you arrive, the more options you'll have. Please note that the size of your party can affect what options are available to you, as certain tables and areas are designated for larger parties.
  • "Late shows" in the main showroom have assigned seating. Assignments are made in order of ticket purchase. Generally speaking, the earlier you buy tickets, the closer you will be to the stage.
  • If tickets are designated as being at a "reserved table," your party will have a table to itself. For general admission or VIP tickets, if your party does not fill an entire table, you may be sharing a table with other patrons.
