Strategic Cheese Reserve + Yes, You! + Sweeter Things + Standby Children

Say goodbye to the heat, the grind, and the headlines. Say hello to a night of laughter with WIT.

Strategic Cheese Reserve 

The five performers of Strategic Cheese Reserve are always curious to explore what might be going on elsewhere right now: in the next room, in the house next door, at the gates of Heaven, or in a secret bunker three miles underground. Their real-time format, Meanwhile, allows them to cut from scene to contemporaneous scene during a 25-minute show, creating an ever-expanding universe in which big, emotional characters find connection, complication, or disaster.

Cast:Dan Kois, David Backer, Dee Dee Bowden, Elisabeth Mabus, Greg Krasnoff

ABOUT WIT

WIT shows are perfect for a date night, out-of-towners visiting, or just something new and spontaneous to do. All for just $20.

For 28 years, Washington Improv Theater’s experienced teams of improv comedians have taken a simple suggestion or story from an audience member and turned it into a never-before-seen comedy show. And because every performance is based on an audience suggestion, that night’s show will never happen again! Our homegrown talent has gone on to SNL, The Daily Show, HBO’s Insecure and The White Lotus, and more!

Accessible pricing: For those who experience cost as a barrier, a limited number of affordable pricing tickets are available using the code AFFORDABLE at check-out.
