Irene Tu

Irene Tu, a Los Angeles–based stand-up comedian, returns to the DC Improv for a single show on Thursday, September 17, 2026, following sold-out appearances in 2023 and 2025. Known for her quick wit, relaxed stage presence, and off-the-wall observations, Tu released her debut comedy album *"We're Done Now"* in March 2022, which hit #1 on the iTunes comedy charts. She was selected as one of Netflix’s “Introducing” comics for the 2022 Netflix Is a Joke festival, and her Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring set became the most-watched reel on the network’s Stand-Up Instagram page, with over 2.7 million views. Paste Magazine praised the album as one that “ticks all the boxes of a winning introduction.” Tu has also performed on *After Midnight*, Hulu, Don’t Tell Comedy, and has opened for Taylor Tomlinson, Ronny Chieng, and Patton Oswalt. Her viral stand-up clips have accumulated over 30 million views across social media. The evening’s featured performer is to be announced.
