About This Event

As seen in the Washington Post, CityPaper, the DCist (RIP), The Hatchet, on a flyer we gave you and with your own darn eyes, Capital Laughs presents DC's funniest comedians (w/ special drop-ins) working out their material. Drop-ins include touring headliners who have been on The Tonight Show, Conan, The Late Show, The Problem w/ Jon Stewart, and who have specials on Comedy Central, HBO, Netflix, and Dry Bar among others. Some drop-ins have included Dusty Slay, Shane Gillis, Tony Woods, Rhea Butcher, Cameron Esposito, Judah Friedlander - The World Champion, Liz Miele, Kasuan Wilson and DC Benny. (Drop-ins are not advertised.)

Extended Happy Hour until 9. $4 domestic bottles; $6 wine and select cocktails. Plus rotating Bucket of Beers and Bottles of Wine specials.

Limited tickets available.

Unlike many other comedy shows, our comedians are asked to bring fresh material each week. You'll see established, passed comedians building their feature (20-minute) and headling (45-minute) sets. We're the only organization in the DMV that runs a peer voted on passed list, which ensures you see the comedians who comedians respect--comedians who are grinding and producing new material each week.

Come every week, see mostly different comedians doing mostly different jokes.

To see all sorts of levels of comedians do completely new jokes, while getting interupted by a passed comedian, check out The Comedy Shuffle, our free Monday show at Town Tavern.
