DC Improv's 34th Birthday Bash

Celebrate three and a half decades of laughter as DC Improv marks its 34th anniversary with a special Birthday Bash showcase in the club’s main room. Since opening its doors in the summer of 1992, the venue has been a cornerstone of comedy in the nation’s capital, and this milestone event brings together a handpicked lineup of local and touring stand-ups to toast the occasion. The night features five comedians — each with their own style and accolades — performing a showcase that highlights the depth of DC’s comedy scene. In addition to the comedy, the club will be running food and drink specials to add birthday flair to the evening. All ticket prices shown are all-inclusive and include service charges, so there are no surprise fees at checkout.
