Queensberg + The Hypothesis + Lena Dunham Improv

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
