Lounge Showroom

Jive Turkey & Friends

Jive Turkey is one of DC's oldest independent long-form improv troupes, and since 2008 has been a unique blend of comedy spices blended together to create a mouthwatering taste for the senses. Though some might say we are just two idiots who get together and get our fast-paced brand of smart improv on when we're not slaving away at the heels of our oppressive DC jobs for the MAN and to escape our sad little lives. That first thing sounds better though. Sounds like a gourmet pizza. Yeah a pizza, let’s go with that. With nationwide performances, numerous festivals and over 25 comedy years between them Jive Turkey stars Joe Randazzo (Sistine Robot, Madeline) and Chris Ulrich (Nox).

The improv troupe Jive Turkey has been on the DC scene since 2008, performing sharp long-form improv in front of millions of screaming fans. (Millions might be a slight exaggeration, but you get the idea.) For this show, they'll be performing in our 60-seat lounge showroom, and they're bringing along a few of their favorite troupes to join in the fun.

  • 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.
