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!
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 OUR SPECIAL GUEST JOANNE ZURCHER
Joanne Zurcher has over 25 years of experience in federal healthcare and education policy, with roles on Capitol Hill, in the Obama Administration, and at leading health trade associations. She played a key role in landmark legislation, including No Child Left Behind and the Affordable Care Act, and helped establish a $1.5 billion Home Visiting Program.

ABOUT SAPPHIC SUPPER
An absurd and hilarious show where the cast of all Queer women explore the illogical and often hilarious ways in which the world can seem to operate through our shared lens.
Cast: Krystal Ali, Samiyyah Ali, Madeline Dozier, Devin Hiett, and Clare Mulligan
ABOUT WIT ENSEMBLE LIZARD GIRL
You get to make up an imaginary book title and it’s LIZARD GIRL’S job to bring it to life! The lines between life and literature blur as we delve into the interpersonal dramas that are requisite for any good book club and discuss our favorite moments from a book we have never read!
Cast: Bryce Slinger, David Brescia-Weiler, Jared Smith, Jessica Norman, Krystal Ali, Liz Sanders, Mikey Blunschi, and Patrick Fleury
ABOUT WIT ENSEMBLE THE BROKEN BONES
We’ve all been hurt… perhaps by a hidden patch of ice, a sick collision while scoring the winning goal, or a very public breakup at your 28th birthday party. The Broken Bones will interview an audience member about an injury —b e it physical, emotional, or other — and we will all heal together through comedy.
Cast: Erick Acuña, Neil Baron, Darnell Eaton, Eva Lewis, Kristina Martinez, and Kelsey Peters
