Need a laugh? Head to one of these spots to catch the funniest local and touring comedians in the DMV.
We live in unfunny times — for more on that, see, uh, the rest of this newspaper — which is exactly why we need a good laugh.
For this guide, though, we’ve stuck to clubs dedicated primarily to comedy . Most of these venues are 21-and-up and require the purchase of tickets in advance — make sure you read show descriptions on websites carefully. It’s fitting that Underground Comedy would find a permanent home below street level. The first floor of Hotbed has a narrow bar not unlike the others that line 18th Street NW, where patrons while away time before doors open for the shows. The stage is on the lower level, a space Joyce says was made by a comic with comics in mind: a classic brick wall, short stage, low ceilings, tightly packed chairs and another full bar, all softly lit in a red glow.
Another aspect of a classic club that lives on at the Improv: the two-item minimum per person. That means you should expect to pay for a few drinks or food items in addition to ticket prices, which vary widely between the lounge and main room, depending on the time of week and prominence of the performers.The Improv sometimes partners with promoters and other venues to host shows outside of D.C. If you live in Maryland or Virginia, check its website for upcoming events in your area.
