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

• 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 or VIP tickets, if your party does not fill an entire table, you may be sharing a table with other patrons.

Lewis Belt is an Oakland-born stand-up comedian, actor, producer, and one of the hottest young voices on the West Coast. A rising star under 35, Lewis has built a loyal fanbase through high-energy live performances, viral online content, and his iconic alter-ego Sonniebo — a character who has become a cultural mascot for Oakland and the Bay Area.

Lewis first exploded online with millions of views from his Sonniebo sketches, raw storytelling, and authentic comedic style. He appeared on MTV’s Are You The One? (Season 7) and has since continued to elevate, headlining and selling out clubs across the country from California to the East Coast.

His comedy catalog includes multiple hit specials. His latest hour-long special, "On Mommas," released independently on YouTube in 2025, surpassed 100,000 views in its first month. This follows his special "Raised By OG’s Not IG," which passed 500,000+ views independently, and his debut special "Rookie of the Year" filmed at Boogie’s Comedy Slam inside Oakland’s legendary Paramount Theatre — the same project that became the #1 stand-up special on Amazon in 2020.

Lewis has also made memorable on-screen appearances in So Dumb It’s Criminal with Snoop Dogg on Peacock and the 2023 "House Party" movie produced by LeBron James’ SpringHill Company and New Line Cinema, now streaming on Hulu.

Recently, Lewis hosted a Jordan Brand All-Star Weekend event, performing alongside top rappers and athletes as both himself and Sonniebo. He also filmed an Amazon commercial with Marshawn Lynch on television in 2025.

His alter-ego Sonniebo is now expanding into music, with official distribution through Empire, one of the biggest independent music labels in the world — further proving the character’s cultural impact and versatility.

From viral comedy to national stages, TV screens, and brand partnerships, Lewis Belt continues to represent the West Coast with authenticity, hustle, and undeniable star power.
