The Comedy Roast of Earth

Earth has been heating up in recent decades, but now it's going to get roasted. This Earth Day, join us for a Comedy Central-style roast of our beloved Earth by some of its best friends ... and enemies. Comedians will take on the part of other planets and famous figures to sling jokes about the third rock from the Sun. It's all fun and games until Earth strikes back with its own gibes at the end.

This show is produced by DC Science Comedy, the only recurring science comedy show in the nation’s capital. DC Science Comedy has been featured in The Washington Post, BBC World News, and has produced sold-out shows across the country from San Francisco to Boston. Past performers include scientists, veteran storytellers, nationally touring comedians, NYTimes best-selling authors, and Pulitzer Prize winners.

Admission Policies

  • Please note: An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. Senior citizens and people with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. By visiting our establishment, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.
  • 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 tickets, if your party does not fill an entire table, you may be sharing a table with other patrons.
