Laugh Riot: Comedy in the Face of Everything

Leave 2025’s chaos behind (at least for a little while) and make space for joy and laughter at Washington Improv Theater this fall!

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.

Home to a host of company ensembles, including the long-running musical improv group iMusical, the all-Black ensemble Lena Dunham, the scientifically-minded Hypothesis, and the all-woman ensemble Hellcat, WIT’s improvisers will have you rolling with laughter.

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. 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.
