Courthaus Comedy Bunker 3: PETE BERGEN

Let's continue our streak of sellouts for our next show where your headliner is:

PETE BERGEN

He may look and sound gruff but he is a big bear of a sweetheart. You’ll love his take on his own sordid history and observations in general. He has opened for and performed with some great folks like Patton Oswalt, Rory Scovel, Bobcat Goldthwait, Annie Lederman, David Koechner, Kelsey Cook, Annie Lederman, Alonso Bodden and more while featuring and headlining some great venues like the DC Improv (DC), Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse (VA), Magooby’s Joke House (MD), Nicks Comedy Stop (Boston), Governors (NY), Church Of Satire (PA) and The Drafthouse Comedy Theater (DC). He is also in recovery and is in demand for 12 step conventions all over. You may recognize Pete from his numerous appearances on Investigation Discovery shows or from his episode on the classic Americas Most Wanted. He always plays a cop because, well, look at him. Pete can also be seen as a contributor on local panel shows “Like It Or Not” and “The Final 5”, both on Fox 5 DC, offering up humorous takes on the days events.

Ian Toppall is a comic originally from DC, in Chicago for college, and now looking to move out to LA. Having done stand up since he was 14, Toppall lends a unique voice on growing up all too fast. While in college, he created a comedy show out of his dorm room that he was able to grow to comedy clubs all over Chicago. He hasn’t quite made it to LA as a stand-up yet, but he has been featured on a pro-am showcase in Massillon, Ohio. HIs TV credits include the 2025 Emmys, where he was seen as a seat filler.
