Joyride with Washington Improv Theater
Buckle up! Joyride is a non-stop, high-energy improv performance series where the destination changes every weekend.
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!)
Four Weeks. Four Themes. Infinite Laughs.
Every weekend, Joyride shifts gears with a brand-new thematic focus:
- Jan. 30 – Feb. 1 | Welcome Aboard: We’re kicking things off with interactive, audience-driven shows that explore travel, transitions, and the joy of arriving together.
- Feb. 6 – Feb. 8 | Represent: A celebration of the beautiful, diverse communities that make DC (and WIT) what it is. Featuring special performances of The Cookout, a celebration of Black improv in the DMV, on Saturday, Feb. 7!
- Feb. 13 – Feb. 15 | Crazy in Love: Just in time for Valentine’s Day. We’re diving headfirst into the hilarious, messy, and heartwarming world of romance, dating, and partnership.
- Feb. 20 – Feb. 22 | And Now for Something Completely Different: The ultimate experimental playground, featuring brand-new formats and wild ideas seeing the light of day for the very first time.
