The Other Side

Dhaya has two degrees from MIT and she worked in venture capital. Now she applies all that brainpower to make people laugh. We're talking to our May 20 headliner about nerds, comedy by the Bay, the mixture of politics and laughter and lots more.

Nemr has a fascinating story: After growing up in both San Diego and Lebanon, he helped put stand-up comedy on the map in the Middle East. A day before his six-show run (April 19-22), he stopped into the club to share his perspective on what laughter can accomplish. And we also conclusively prove that anyone NOT coming to the show supports ISIS. Get to know him ...

We're saying hi to Jordan Rock a few days before he headlines our main showroom (April 13-15).

Talking about growing up in South Carolina, his relationship with his brother Tony and the one way that he's like a white Southern woman. Good times!

Ramon Rivas makes his DC Improv debut April 20-21, so we're saying hi in advance. If you love a self-made success story, check him out -- we talk about his work building up Cleveland's comedy scene and creating some of his own opportunities.

Plus: A little pun preview to get you warmed up for our May 16 pun contest.

Taylor Tomlinson makes her DC Improv headlining debut in two weeks, so we're saying hi to her in advance. We talk about starting comedy young (she's 24), her very unusual stand-up origin story and the joys of self-help.

A chat with Brad before his headlining weekend, March 15-18. We talk about his life as a newly married man and a first-time homeowner, the joys of having a Bed Bath and Beyond guy, and what happens if you try to physically pick Brad up. Takeaway: Do not try to pick Brad up.

Andy Woodhull makes his DC Improv headlining debut April 13-14, 2018, in our lounge. One month in advance, we're saying hello. Listen in for a fun conversation about step-parenting, long distance relationships and what goes into following a comedy dream.

One of our favorite guests is back in advance of his shows at the club March 8-11, 2018. He explains why he is the Warren Buffett / Albert Einstein of stand-up. Also we discuss waterskiing.

Jessica Kirson headlines the lounge showroom March 2-4, so we're saying hello with a phone interview.

In honor of our upcoming pun events (March 28 / May 16), you get a look back at one of our top entries from January.

And before Bob Marley gets here (March 8-11), we're revisiting a chat from his last time in town.

The WWE Hall of Famer calls up to chat, a few weeks before the August 10 "Ringside" show at the DC Improv. We talk about great wrestling towns, President Trump's cup of coffee with the WWE, a legend of women's wrestling, DC's own Dave Batista and more.

Have a listen, then get your tickets to see JR at the Improv in a few weeks.
