Bonnet Talk & Friends
Bonnet Talk & Friends is a DC lounge-style comedy variety show featuring stand-up, character work, and sketch comedy. The evening is led by Bonnet Talk, an all-Black women sketch troupe whose material draws on everyday life, current issues in the diaspora, and political conversations. The troupe’s members bring more than 20 years of combined improvisational and performance experience.
The lineup also includes the sketch group Well I Think It’s Funny!, along with Gabby Villegas, Gen Singer, and Grace Wynter. Well I Think It’s Funny! was founded by childhood friends Alex Hong and Natalie Leveque and features Gen-Z and queer comedians from the DMV. The group has presented live shows in Washington for more than a year and has released two seasons of digital sketches on YouTube.
