Actress and comedian Rachel Feinstein is a favorite among fans and fellow comedians alike. Named one of Variety’s “10 Comics To Watch” of 2024, her Netflix standup special "Big Guy" premiered in May 2024 on the streamer’s list of Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. where it remained for over a week. The hour invites viewers into Rachel’s delightfully chaotic life as the wife of a firefighter, a mother, and a comedian. In the words of her 3-year-old daughter, “my daddy’s a hero and my mommy’s sarcastic.” Rachel explores her marriage to a first responder who is also married to his firehouse family and unpacks what it’s like to navigate emotional intimacy with someone whose job it is to save people’s lives. Chock full of her signature “amazing impersonations” (Vulture), Big Guy endears us to the loveable hodgepodge of characters in Rachel’s world.

Come out and wordplay! You're invited to watch or compete in Pun DMV, our pun contest. The night is hosted by Dana Fleitman, and it has two events: 
The Freestyle: Each competitor chooses a punning theme, then prepares in advance a three-minute speech packed with puns inspired by that theme. On the night of the show, the competitors deliver their speeches on stage. The audience favorite wins!
The Tournament: An on-the-spot punning tournament featuring up to 20 people. At the start of each match, contestants are given a theme. They then take turns making up puns on the spot. People are eliminated when they're stumped. The last person standing moves on to the next round (or victory). Anyone in attendance can compete, and you can sign up on site when you arrive. 
The winners of either contest get cash prizes from the Improv (and eternal glory)!

Welcome to The Washington Roast—the hit comedy show where your favorite (and least favorite) politicians get scorched in savage, no-holds-barred roast battles. For over five years, this politically incorrect spectacle has brought together top local comedians to portray real-life political figures—from Trump to Kamala, AOC to MTG, Bernie to Biden—and tear into each other with jokes so wrong they just might be right. No one is safe. No side is spared. And every insult is bipartisan. Hosted by Tim Kardashian—dubbed as DC’s roast master by Timeout —this is not your average political satire. The Washington Roast blends sharp writing, savage roasts, and a fully interactive format where the audience becomes part of the chaos. From the unfiltered townhall segment to live voting that determines which comedians get re-elected or politically canceled, The Washington Roast puts the power (and the punchlines) in your hands. As seen on NPR, FOX, CBS, PBS, NBC, and Prime Video. Proceeds benefiting Hilarity for Charity, a non-profit founded by Seth Rogen and his wife to provide Alzheimer’s research, care grants, and preventative measures.
Featuring: Dee Ahmed, Laura Arago, Bria Beddoe, Todd Fleming, Elizabeth Booker Houston, Tim Kardashian, Ashley Pontius, Vito Prime, Rashee Raj, Rose Vineshank, Jon Yeager
