Emily Catalano

Emily Catalano returns to the DC Improv for a weekend of stand‑up in the main room. A Los Angeles‑based comedian who made her late‑night debut on *Conan* and appeared on *The Drew Barrymore Show*, Catalano is known for her slow pace, dry humor, and sharp joke‑writing that turns everyday observations into surprise punchlines. She was named one of Time Out LA’s “Comics to Watch” and has been praised by Vulture for her ability to hit hard with unexpected laughs. Having sold out her 2024 and 2025 shows at the DC Improv, she returns in 2026 with new material and a host of credits that include opening for Pete Holmes and performing alongside Sarah Silverman, Tig Notaro, Judd Apatow, and Patton Oswalt at Largo. She is also developing a semi‑autobiographical series with Sean Hayes’ Hazy Mills Productions and CBS Studios. The supporting comedian for each show is to be announced.
