Comedy Club DC - Washington, District of Columbia

Tania Weatherington

I didn’t necessarily have the highest hopes for the comedy show, but I went in with an open mind. Unfortunately it was back to back cringe worthy comedians with quite similar material that really wasn’t all that funny. Maybe that’s a bit harsh, there may have been 2-3 comedians that were pretty decent.

There’s room for a lot of improvement with the decor… A LOT! The photos on Google seem very very outdated and doesn’t seem like the same venue.

Drinks wise, it was okay. But it was a bit gross when the person behind the bar used her hands to pick up the limes that were going in my drink.

As the other reviews mention - don’t get the VIP ticket. It makes no difference with the seating… And the gift is one free ticket for 2 to a future show … Cheeky!!!

Absolutely unacceptable and illegal! We booked 8 tickets and I called to request an ASL interpreter for the show as someone in our party is Deaf. Initially, the man seemed responsive and asked if I had any suggestions, so l emailed him multiple ASL agencies. However, I quickly received a call back informing me that they would not accommodate my request and would issue a refund instead. I repeatedly informed him that this was illegal according to the ADA and requested a written response to my email for documentation. He refused to avoid a paper trail. This is very disappointing and shameful.
I would never recommend this place.

Disappointing is an understatement. Only reason we could even tell we were in the right place was a sign outside with "Comedy Club DC" written in chalk. It looked like a 4 year-old learning to write had made it. Paid for a "table" but there really weren't any; just coffee tables. We were sitting at a bar that had a microphone in the corner. The pictures I found online didn't look anything like the inside of the place. Comedy was also bad. Maybe two comedians were funny. They should have let them do the show and sent the others home. One comedian apparently no-showed too. Emcee was awful. He just cussed a lot and had nothing funny. Almost left because he sounded like a drunk foul-mouthed cousin that you regret inviting to your wedding. He was an embarrassment.
The menu online was also nothing like the actual menu. The actual menu didn't have half of what the online menu had.
I would avoid it this place.

All the comments must be from people who don't typically see stand up. If you're accustomed to seeing stand up it's a great show. They have a diverse line up of comedians with jokes for everyone. We had a great time.

The April 8th show was disappointing. The emcee was awful; nothing funny came out of his mouth. The microphone/sound was poor - at least check it out before the show starts. The music was so loud before the event started, that I couldn't talk to my wife. Maybe three of the eight comics were any good; it seemed like they grabbed one stoned guy off the street and let him try to talk for 5 minutes. The only good thing was the artwork surrounding the stage. We had two bottled beers and a piece of cake for $25. The bottled Corona with a lime was the best thing!

Everything about this place was horrible. First of all, it doesn’t matter what tickets you buy because you get the same seats. There is no “special gift” if you want to spend more money. Before the show, there is random music playing - they play like 2 minutes of the song and then change it. There were like 8 comedians that performed and only one of them were kind of funny. The host made the show super awkward, like he was a frat guy who never grew up. The seating was very weird and the seats felt like they were going to break. The drinks were terribly small and filled with ice.
I really like comedy shows and I was trying to like this, but it was horrid. Find a different show to see in DC.

The host of this show is… so gross. It was in a weird windowless loft area of the top of what seemed to be an apartment foyer. Camping chairs were set up for seating. The host was incredibly misogynistic and his jokes overall just made no sense and were uncomfortable. The whole crowd felt it. The other comedians were okay, some of them weren’t garnering many laughs and made some awkward silences with really misogynistic content. I won’t be back—there are so many legitimate comedy clubs in DC with comics who have content besides degrading women. Very bizarre experience overall.

Also this was advertised as a jazz comedy night, with jazz music prior to the show. By that they meant they played music from the 50s on a blue tooth speaker. So weird. And tix were $25 each. Support more respectful vendors.

Great local talent. Intimate space. Wish they would update the seating chairs though; I was holding my breath as I sat on a chair with a shaky leg lol. We felt like I was gonna fall at any minute. The food is not good. The drinks are strong depending on who is pouring them. Just go for the jokes and get drinks downstairs and you’ll be fine.
