Read the Room crowd work showcase
Read the Room crowd work showcase
Some stand-ups really know how to work a room. "Crowd work" is the art of chatting with the audience when on stage. When done right, it creates a conversational atmosphere -- sometimes building a bridge to a comedian's best jokes, and sometimes leading to totally unscripted, in-the-moment laughs.
Here in the DMV, Tim Miller is one of the best at crowd work. At "Read the Room" he hosts a lineup of local talents doing predominantly crowd work. Join him in our lounge showroom for what could be a unique, unforgettable live comedy experience.
Tim has been on Comedy Central & TRU TV and is also the host of Read the Room podcast on Podbean, iTunes and wherever you enjoy podcasts.
Tim Miller
Tim D. Miller is a master at engaging audiences and crafting a stand-up set that is a guaranteed good time for all. Tim’s material is based on his life experience from Waco to the White House, trying to raise a daughter, and his unique ability to find the funny in everyday life.
Tim started doing stand-up after eight years in the U.S. Army (you’re welcome) and working as a videographer at the White House. His stage presence, combined with his charm, have garnished him rave reviews. He also produces the comedy show “Who’s In Here?”- a popular weekly D.C. social event where the crowd is literally part of the show.
Tim has shared the stage with some of the best in the comedy universe, including Dave Attell, Jake Johannsen, Bert Kreischer, Jon Lovitz, Pablo Francisco, Joe Matarese, Bob Marley, Red Grant, Finesse Mitchell, and Daniel Tosh. He has been featured at the 202 Comedy Fest, S.C. Comedy Competition, Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival, and Laughing Skull Comedy Festival. Tim has been seen on TruTV (Laff Tracks w/ Cipher Sounds) and PBS (The Truth About Money). He can be heard on his debut album “Rule of Thirds” and regularly on the “Three Guys On” Podcast and Sirius XM radio.

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.
