Chaos + Hellcat + Uncle Gorgeous featuring Ask Me Anything with Clayton Weimers

Need an antidote to grim headlines? WIT will give you a jolt of optimism while delivering laughs from our talented ensembles.

ABOUT WIT

WIT shows are perfect for a date night, out-of-town visitors, or simply something new and spontaneous to do. All for just $20.

For more than 25 years, our hilarious, experienced improvisers have taken a simple suggestion or story from an audience member and turned it into never-before-seen comedy. And because every performance is made-up on-the-spot, no two shows are ever the same, so you can keep coming back for more! Our homegrown talent has gone on to “SNL,” “The Daily Show,” HBO’s “Insecure” and “The White Lotus,” Hulu’s “How to Die Alone,” and more!

His writing on press freedom has appeared in publications including the Washington Post, The Hill, and the Independent.

ABOUT ASK ME ANYTHING

From fearless advocates to visionary leaders, join us as we shine our spotlight on a series of noteworthy and inspiring individuals, who are making a difference in the DC area and beyond. Each guest will share stories and insights through a candid Q&A session. From there, a cast of improv comedians will use that material as inspiration for their performance.

Why doom-scroll when you can get out of the house (and out of your head) with a night of hope, community, and comedy?

ABOUT CHAOS

Hello. We are chaos.

Cast: Geoff Corey, Diego Dew, Clare Mulligan, Aubrey Peterson, and Jared Smith

ABOUT WIT ENSEMBLE HELLCAT

Hellcat is WIT’s hilarious all-women ensemble. They build improvised stories out of the truths and insights of the human experience — from moments of despair and rage, to moments of elation and joy (and everything in between!) They’ll make you laugh and feel by weaving together characters you identify with and root for, as well as kooky weirdos you hope you’ll never, ever have to meet in real life. One thing is for sure, don’t mess with the Hellcat.

Cast: Krystal Ali, Sarah Baldwin, Kaelan Fleury, Melissa Gedney, Devin Hiett, Liz Hoke, Steph Lilly, Símonica Mendes, Clare Mulligan, Aubrey Peterson, and Lori Pitts

ABOUT WIT ENSEMBLE UNCLE GORGEOUS

Uncle Gorgeous will make you “forget the obvious and embrace the absurd.”

Cast: Jamal Newman, Jessie Cali, Jordana Mishory, Kelsey Peters, Kristina Martinez, Madeline Dozier, Mikail Faalasli, Rae Lang, Ryan McCloskey, Samiyyah Ali, and Tom Di Liberto
