Saaniya Abbas: Hellarious

DC Improv debut!

The road to hell is paved with killer punchlines. Saaniya takes you on a wildly funny deep-dive into the chaos of carving your own path. From sheltered beginnings to full-blown defiance, HELLARIOUS is a riotous celebration of bad decisions, bold choices, and becoming the devil you know. Following a critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe run and a hugely successful first US tour, including multiple sold-out shows, Saaniya Abbas brings HELLARIOUS back to North America.

All sales are final. Refunds and exchanges are offered only when a show is canceled or rescheduled.

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.
