It’s the most wonderful (and wonderfully unpredictable) time of the year! From heartwarming family traditions to hilariously unexpected twists, there’s something for everyone at WIT in A Very Improv Holiday!
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!)
The Lineup
LIZARD GIRL
Formed in May 2016, LIZARD GIRL is a troupe tracing its roots back to the golden age of Obama-era Harold teams at WIT. Now performing as an ensemble, the group strives to create sharp comedic shows by inviting you into their quirky world. Much of the group’s success can be attributed to their shared love of collaborative creation and subverting expectations. LIZARD GIRL is also the only known team in DC to have bombed in front of award-winning author Jonathan Safran Foer.
Cast: Bryce Slinger, David Brescia-Weiler, Jared Smith, Jessica Norman, John Carroll, Krystal Ali, Liz Sanders, Mikey Blunschi, Patrick Fleury, Samiyyah Ali
iMusical
iMusical joins the unpredictable playfulness of comedic improvisation with the emotional power of musical theater. A cast of singer-improvisers instantly creates a compelling new show with each performance, made up of completely improvised scenes, lyrics and music, all inspired by a single audience suggestion.
Cast: Anna Claire Walker, Arie Rich, Cassie Barnum, David Shadburn, Fred Gilbert, Geoff Withuhjee, Katie O’Donnell, Mark Chalfant, Simone Webster, Stanley Seiden, Stephanie Rae. Accompanists: Amy Broadbent, Kristin Stowell
