Foul Play + Girass! + Tenderfoot + Madeline

WIT shows are perfect for a date night, an evening downtown with guests, or a fun experience on your own!

WIT is DC’s top spot for hilarious improv comedy. Our shows are surprising, smart, and totally unscripted, and feature the funniest improvisers in the region.

Inspired by a simple suggestion from the audience, each show is an unpredictable delight. In fact, most first-time audience members find it hard to believe that what they’re seeing is entirely made up on-the-spot. (It is!)

Foul Play

This premise-based improv montage explores the unspoken rules of childhood—the invisible logic, playground politics, imaginary worlds, and family dynamics that shape us growing up. Through a series of connected scenes, watch those unwritten laws hilariously unravel, collide, and combust in real time!

Cast: Caroline Van Zile, Dana Maier, David Beam, Ken Bender, Mary Jameson, Olivia D’Aust, Travis West

Girass!

Girass! is an astronomical unit of measurement for an asteroid that is about half the size of a giraffe. It is also a long-standing Washington, DC based indie team of seasoned improvisers who put joy and connection at the center of their play. Girass! players have trained at Washington Improv Theatre, iO, and The Annoyance Theatre in Chicago and with some of the biggest names in improv around the country. Girass! players include actors, clowns and stand ups from around the country who all call Washington, DC home.

Cast: Aimee Imundo, Devon Grams, Jake Boggs, Jason Fliegel, Javi Calderon, Stacey Pelika

Tenderfoot

Are you looking for a show your dad will love? If Ken Burns did improv, it would look exactly like this. Watch Tenderfoot chart the discovery, rise, and decline of a topic of your choosing.

Cast: Cassie Hoffman, Craig Gagel, Grace Campion, JoJo Franzen, Marisa Borreggine, Meghan Faulkner, Peter Bird, Ryan Pierannunzi, Sam Ruback, William Ferriby

Madeline 

Genuine connection, sharp comedy, surprisingly real, and a tad bit raunchy.

Madeline delivers deliciously rich characters, wildly funny moments, and a shocking amount of heart.

This improv comedy ensemble blends patient character work with committed chaos… you’ll care about the beautiful, detailed worlds they build before watching it all gleefully burn down.

Cast: Adam Levine, Dan O’Neil, Kevin Eggleston, Lauren Emily, Macey Schiff, Matt Strote, Nick Martinez, Ryan McClure
