Escape with Washington Improv Theater

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

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!)

Go to our Plan Your Visit page to learn about WIT shows and view our health and accessibility policies. 

The first four weeks of the series we will be in the second floor Milton theater at Studio Theatre (1501 14th St. NW) and the second half of the run will be in the ground floor Shargai space at Studio.

WIT may have still or video photography at its events. Entry to the event serves as consent to be filmed for WIT’s promotional purposes only.
