Comedy Kumite XL

Comedy Kumite XL

Join us for a supersized edition of the world's greatest stand-up competition! Each Wednesday for four straight weeks, we'll have six different performers duke it out. Each "match" has comics doing sets back-to-back, and the audience chooses one person to advance. At the end of each Wednesday, we'll have a champion ... and of course, the audience ALWAYS wins.

Once all four champs are determined, they'll return on a Sunday night for a no-holds-barred comedy battle. The winner of that match becomes our Comedy Kumite XL champion for 2025!

Join us for a supersized edition of the world's greatest stand-up competition! Each Wednesday for four straight weeks, we'll have six different performers duke it out.

Once all four champs are determined, they'll return one more time for a no-holds-barred comedy battle (August 6). The winner of that match becomes our Comedy Kumite XL champion for 2025!

This is a great way to enjoy top local talent, at a price that's a knockout.

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

  • This show will be 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.
  • 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.
