Let DC’s funniest improvisers give you a break from reality with their smart, surprising, and totally unscripted comedy!

Makes You Think

Who All Gon’ Be There

Sometimes we want to know who’s attending an event before we agree to go. It’s just human nature… whether it’s your coworker’s birthday, a coffee date, or night of trivia. But the members of this indie troupe are always going to want to know “Who all gon’ be there?”

Cast: Aaron Harris​, Amira Moore​, Chizo Nwagwu​, Francesca Washington​, Haywood Turnipseed​, Joanne Harris​, Micha’le Simmons, Olu Okusaga​, Simonica Mendes​, and Tracie Turnipseed​

Penguin Magic

It’s your world. Penguin Magic is just improvising in it. Give us a suggestion of anything at all and watch as we turn it into a magical, hilarious world of people, places, and things you’ll never forget.

Cast: Adi Kamdar, Chris Lash, and Kate Symes

Kinfolk

Come see what happens when we put your kinfolk center stage. Kinfolk, which became the first all-Black group to win the coveted Fighting Improv Smackdown Tournament in 2024, takes your stories and turns them into an unscripted, improvised comedy show. They get a little tea about one of your loved ones, and then build a whole world inspired by what you tell them. It’s funny, it’s fast, and it’s a celebration of the chaos and comedy that comes with having people in your life.

Cast: Jamal Newman, Kendall Hollimon, Krystal Ali, and Samiyyah Ali
