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.

Preacher Lawson was born in Portland, Ore., but spent most of his adolescence in Memphis, Tenn. He moved 20 times before the age of 10, but if you asked him what city he's from he'd say Orlando, Fla., because that's where he grew as a comedian. Lawson is best known for his appearance on season 12 of NBC’s hit series "America's Got Talent" (2017) where he made it to the final round. Based off his stellar performance in season 12, Lawson was invited to compete on "America's Got Talent: The Champions" (2019) and "Britain's Got Talent: The Champions" (2019), where he advanced to the finale after receiving the most fan votes. Lawson shot his first stand-up special, "Get to Know Me," which premiered on BET+ in 2019.

In television, Lawson can be seen on HBO’s "A Black Lady Sketch Show" as well as NBC’s "Connecting" as a series regular. He hosted the Facebook Watch series "World's Most Amazing Dogs" (2019) with George Lopez and Lisa Vanderpump. Most recently, he can be seen on "The Tonight Show" talking about his fame recognition and MMA fight.

Lawson has built a massive following on TikTok of 3.2 million followers. His YouTube channel has amassed over 600,000 subscribers and features clips of stand-up, MMA training, and even Vegan cooking tips! He recently completed his residency hosting "AGT Live" in Las Vegas and continues to perform at sold-out venues around the country.
