The Art of Comedy

Join us for this off-beat show that pairs traditional stand-up and improvisational comedy in an art studio setting. Enjoy three sets of polished stand-up from DC comedians, and then...meet Winston Hodges. Improvising from surprise prompts and conversations with the audience, he's a friendly force of nature who will talk to everyone and make fast connections that will leave you surprised, a bit bewildered, and completely amused. Every show features different comedians and promises a night to remember. As a bonus, one drink token is included with your ticket.
