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.

Recently named one of Variety’s Top 10 Comics to Watch, Detroit native Joe Dombrowski first caught the world’s attention in 2017 with a viral April Fools’ Day spelling test prank that led to multiple appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Don’t get it twisted, though -- it takes 20 years to be an overnight sensation! Joe’s been performing stand-up since his third-grade talent show, and he hasn’t stopped since.

Today, Joe tours internationally with material that highlights his marriage, being a new dad, his accidentally hilarious parents and unforgettable years as an elementary school teacher. His comedy has been featured on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, the New York Comedy Festival, and Netflix Is a Joke Fest.

Joe currently resides in Seattle, Washington where he hopes to run for Mayor sometime. And by Mayor he means PTA president. c
