About this Event


August 3 moved to Cafe Saint-Ex.


If the show is sold out, try our other Saturday showcase, .


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 best 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.)

Limited tickets available.

--

Unlike many other comedy shows, our comedians are asked to be working on material. You'll see established, passed comedians building their host (10-minute), 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. Get entertained and help us get better.

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

--

AND HAPPY HOUR!

From 6:30-7:30 a shot and a beer for only $10 (Tito's or Jim Beam and a Miller Lite).

And, during the show $7 Tito’s or Jim Beam drinks and $5 tots, $7 nachos, and/or $7.50 totchos.

We will have very limited tickets at a donate-what-you-want price (to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all laughers.)

This event is expected to sellout, so there will not be door sales.

--

For multiple tickets for a donation event, Eventbrite forces you to use different emails for each ticket. This is not ideal. While we prefer this way (because we can get a head count), you can also make your donation and tell our door person how many are in your party. (The two donations options help address this by letting you get two tickets at the same time.)
