standup 101 class was excellent, from the instructor Nancy to the small class sizes that allowed us to collaborate and grow.

Nancy is fantastic in building your confidence in doing standup. Everyone should try this to push themselves outside their comfort levels!

Wow I can't even count the number of shows I've seen here in my lifetime. As I'm originally from…read morePittsburgh, it was nothing to make the drive to catch some of our favorite bands performing. 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. To me it's one of the best places to see a live band. The sound is spot on. I've seen Fugazi (sadly never got to see Minor Threat), Bad Brains, and several other bands here. Iconic and legendary venue... for music lovers it's a must at least once to see a performance here.

Solid concert venue in a convenient location in DC. Parking is available on surrounding streets if…read moreyou arrive early enough. 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.

We decided to catch a show last minute and were able to get tickets! It was very crowded, and the…read moreshow started a little late, but I actually appreciated that because it gave everyone more time to get seated. I was initially worried that we wouldn't get good service since we weren't sitting at a table, but the waitstaff were incredibly organized and efficient. They clearly knew exactly what they were doing, and the service was timely and attentive, even with such a full crowd. Everyone was taken care of, and drinks were served without distracting from the show. I was really impressed with how smoothly everything ran--it made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening!

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.

Comedy Club DC was a fun atmosphere with energized hosts, okay drinks, descent food, and comedy…read moreacts that range from amateur to pretty experienced. Because this is a good spot for amateur comedians, don't expect this to be a Netflix special comic show. At the same time, that doesn't mean you won't see acts that will make you laugh out loud. The food come out in large potions, so you can definitely get full here. In my opinion, the chicken quesadilla is one of the best dishes served. It's filled with a variety of peppers and has a perfect amount of chicken and cheese. The burgers are pretty good as well, but the fries seem very basic and taste like pure grease. However, you can definitely go big here for dinner with a steak or herb roasted chicken for example. When it comes to the food service, it does seem a little too long to be served, but hey, the drinks come out quick! The mixed drink options are okay. There are a number of house specialities, but expect the typical dive bar drink quality when watching comedy here.

I didn't necessarily have the highest hopes for the comedy show, but I went in with an open mind…read more Unfortunately it was back to back cringe worthy comedians with quite similar material that really wasn't all that funny. Maybe that's a bit harsh, there may have been 2-3 comedians that were pretty decent. There's room for a lot of improvement with the decor... A LOT! Drinks wise, it was okay. But it was a bit gross when the person behind the bar used her hands to pick up the limes that were going in my drink. As the other reviews mention - don't get the VIP ticket. It makes no difference with the seating... And the gift is one free ticket for 2 to a future show ... Cheeky!!!

I have been going to the overachievers comedy show since it was at brass monkey, in Adams Morgan…read more Long before it had gotten so much popularity. 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! You won't regret it! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-overachievers-comedy-show-hosted-by-martin-amini-tickets-42749357479?aff=erelexpmlt

I can't say enough good things about this comedy show! 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.
