Other than that, it's always a good time and I'll definitely keep coming back for more shows.

Highly recommend for a fun and funny night out during the middle of the week.

I recognize that the Magic Duel takes huge pride in 5 star reviews on Yelp, which I deeply respect. But I did wish that we had seen the show in a different venue. I am no stage expert, but lights and sound do matter a lot in delivery of a magic show for a skeptic like me, going because the significant other loves magic shows. With better lighting, things would have been more "magical" (thinking bottles.) I was also surprised that a bubble artist, as good as she was in her profession, was considered a magician. After some quick research, you will end up at Magic Duel in this genre, so please go to Dupont or Georgetown.

I attended the 9:30 p.m. show on August 2, 2026. Although the show was scheduled to begin at 9:30…read morep.m., guests were encouraged to arrive early because general admission seating was first come, first served. I arrived around 8:50 p.m., expecting to have plenty of time to check in and get seated. From the moment I arrived, the event was disorganized. A staff member checked me in and directed me downstairs to wait in the bar area until seating began. There were multiple groups of guests with different seating options, but there appeared to be no clear system for checking people in or seating them. The process was confusing and poorly managed. To make matters worse, one staff member became so frustrated that he began cursing at guests. Watching an employee lose his composure and direct his frustration toward customers was completely unprofessional. Guests were not allowed into the seating area until around 10:20 p.m., nearly an hour after the scheduled start time. Even then, many people were still waiting outside. It appeared the venue had oversold the event and did not have enough seating for everyone. Whether the issue was the promoter or the venue's management, the event was mishandled from the beginning. After waiting for so long with no clear communication, I decided to leave. I wasn't willing to waste any more of my evening, especially since the venue also enforced a two item minimum for food or drinks. Expecting customers to continue spending money while failing to provide a well organized event only made the experience more frustrating. I came to support a talented artist, but the venue's poor organization overshadowed the entire evening. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be returning.

When we arrive, the guy checking will call says he can't find my tickets, so I show him my email. He then says he sees me in his system for August 1st and shows me, to which I show him my email again. Just then, another guy comes up and when the situation is explained, he says this happened to someone else and since I have my email to let me in. I hear them tell other people they can sit anywhere there isn't a reserved sign,but he tells my party to wait by the wall. After a while, a guy with a clipboard asks for our names and my husband tells the man my name,but also tells him he might not see it since there was a mix up with the dates. The guy says. "Ahhh", then directs us to sit in some chairs they put BETWEEN tables. After seeing there was no reserved sign on the table behind us and the people who came in after us sat there, I realized they put us in these chairs since we were there on the "wrong date". This place doesn't do refunds, so I'm assuming some people got pushed to other dates because of how many tickets they sold,but I bought tickets for a July 31st show on FEBRUARY 6TH!!! WHY WAS MY TICKET CHOSEN TO BE PUSHED??? Mind you,there is a 2 item minimum, so we were expected to just eat in our laps, so I ordered 2 drinks,but my sister and brother in law got fries and mozzarella sticks and looked ridiculous. To add insult to injury, they charged my credit card $58.28 (someone else's tab I suppose) in addition to the $66 we actually spent and they don't open until 6pm, so I'm now going to have to dispute the charge with my bank.

In October I went to Drunk Dracula in DC for my first Drunk Shakespeare experience, and I laughed…read moreso much. If you've never been, just know this isn't your typical theater outing--it's way more interactive, chaotic (in a good way), and just plain fun. When you walk in, there's a bar, but you don't order directly from it. Each seat has a QR code, and the staff delivers drinks right to you, which is super convenient. Once you enter the theater area, you're even given a complimentary shot to kick things off--great way to set the tone for the night. The venue itself is small and really intimate, which makes the whole experience better. There isn't a bad seat in the house. The seats along the stage are bench-style with cubbies underneath for your stuff, while the upper-level seating has stools set behind bookcases that wrap around parts of the stage. The drink menu includes themed cocktails, plus wine, beer, and spirits--expect to pay around $15 per drink. There are also light snacks, but portions are small and a bit pricey, so don't count on them to fill you up. If you do order food, the stools by the bookcases are definitely the best seats since you'll have a surface to put your plate on--otherwise, it's lap dining. As for the show itself, it was fantastic. There's a lot of audience participation, and the actors absolutely commit--including proving they're actually drinking. One thing I didn't realize beforehand is that not the entire cast drinks--there's usually one designated drinker, which honestly makes it even funnier and leads to some unforgettable moments. The performance is an abbreviated version of the story, mixed with plenty of local references that keep it fresh and relatable. The Drunk Shakespeare company also puts on other holiday-themed shows throughout the year, which is awesome. I'll definitely be back to check out Drunk Christmas Carol.

I am so happy to see their show's only gotten bigger and better! Martin Amini, the host, has truly worked hard to get their show to were they are at now. He is truly one of the sweetest, most humble, and obviously funniest guys I know! I have never been disappointed with any of their shows. They're so well known now that comedians fly in from out of state. My friends and I went to their show last night and did not stop laughing. Their head liner, James Davis AKA "hood adjacent", had us laughing so hard, the entire time that our stomachs, and cheeks were hurting by the end of the show. Even their opening acts, one funnier than the last. Can't emphasize how much fun we had here. Their next show is on March 8th. Get your ticket! Take your friends!

I almost don't want to post this review…read morebecause its my secret happy spot, but these guy are too good to not spread the gospel: you will laugh, you will cry (tears of laughter), and you will have a heck of a good time (and maybe even win some beats by Dre!). There is a rotating line up of comedians (normally about 6) and one main "headliner" who has a somewhat longer set and is also normally a bigger name. The comedians are great, Martin is an incredible and super funny host, and DJ Bo is like wow, just amazing! DJ Bo, who keeps the music running all night is INCREDIBLE! Every time I am there all I think is "where can I go to see this man spin beats???" This week I learned the answer to that is Cloak and Dagger, so you're welcome, peoples :) The venue is intimate, they serve drinks and some snacks. Its better to get tickets on line in advance because it SELLS OUT and I have seen the line go out the door and people get turned away. You are guaranteed a feel-good night of laughs with the Overachievers Comedy Show :) ps. even though the address for the theatre is 13th street, the entrance is actually on L St.

This old school punk venue has been around since the early 80s and I started seeing shows here in my late teens. The history behind this place is just mind-blowing and incredible.

Iconic and legendary venue... for music lovers it's a must at least once to see a performance here.

You can also pay for a parking pass through their website but the lot only opens up an hour beforehand so be sure to plan your evening with that in mind. We ended up parking on the street for only $3 since we arrived early to grab dinner nearby. The entry line was super long and literally went around the block but it moved surprisingly fast. Staff was friendly and helpful at the door. The inside was dark when we arrived and it would've been nice to have some house lights so people could find their way around the venue a little easier. The AC was cranking and the temp was comfortable. Upstairs has standing room and some bleachers which provides a good view with less of a crowd. Their VIP area looks nice and I'd be interested in splurging next time for a seat and a better view. There's bars downstairs and upstairs and even some food concessions. Getting out of the venue from the balcony was a bit stressful with only one way out. It makes you imagine what would happen if you needed to get out in a rush... other than that, it's a good space.
