Yurié Collins

(This show is on Sunday. An earlier DC Improv newsletter erroneously listed it as Monday.)

Bilingual comedian Yurié Collins is one of the leading forces bringing stand-up comedy to a new generation in Japan. Following the success of the Monsters of Tokyo U.S. tour, she now embarks on her first-ever U.S. solo headlining tour: PEOPLE DIFFERENT. The tour follows the release of her debut English-language special, "Tokyo Glitch," and her first Japanese-language hour, "This Is Me.," which surpassed 100,000 YouTube views in its first two days.

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.
