I lived in Petworth for 3 years before I realized this existed. I'll blame COVID and not my observational skills. I went to a comedy night here and had a blast. This is the kind of place that I want to succeed. The space is built on so much positivity. The show I saw was great. I went with a group and we had a blast. The space is intimate and no frills. It is byob, so plan accordingly. Grab a bottle and a friend and check them out. read more

room 808 - Inside - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Super intimate comedy club here with very friendly and welcoming people! Saw about 8 comics and show was around 1.5 hours. BYOB. Only about 5 rows of seats so get to the show around 15 minutes early or you might have to sit with an obstructed view. Would definitely come back here! Most comics were a huge hit with our crowd - highly recommend stopping by room 808's free/inexpensive shows sometime. read more

room 808 - Comics' social media - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Came for a free comedy show! I was not familiar with this venue but I am so happy I have found it. Seeing local comics, some that I know and some new ones. Also seeing Martin Amini live was dope. This spot is BYOB and I will definitely be back soon! read more

Great and petite comedy room. An awesome time for a Thursday night. Great comedians. I made a suggestion about the line up- bc comics are too gradually get better through the headliner. You can bring food and it's byob- that's the part I loved the most. They're a small business so purchased paraphernalia is helpful for them, I purchased a shirt although they didn't have the one I wanted- it was a great quality but a little expensive 35-40. I will definitely be back read more

room 808 - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

My wife and I drove an hour and a half for this comedy venue and it was well worth it! It was our wedding anniversary and we planned several things to do in silver spring and ended the night at this place. It's in NW DC, which seemed safe in a residential neighborhood. It's a hole in the wall in between a clothing store and an office space for a pizza place across the street. At first, we weren't sure if the show was going on because we arrived 20 minutes before hand for a 8 pm show and the door was shut and locked. This was a Tuesday. But soon enough, the door opened. My advice is, get there right at the start time or if you're even 10 minutes late, you will be fine. It did not start until about 8:20 pm. The show was FREE, but you still need to reserve your tickets via ticketbrite. The guy at the door simply asked my last name and we got in. It's a small space but makes the whole experience awesome. It's folding chair seating, right in front of the comedian. It's literally just a room with cool show quality lighting and good speaker system. There is also a bathroom attached. It's BYOB but there's a liquor store across the street and they are cool with people just drinking whatever they bring. We saw several comedians who did approximately 10 minute stand up shows each. Some were hilarious, some were funnier than others. Be prepared to laugh though! Each had their own style. Also be prepared to be singled out as no one is safe in this small space. So if you're offended easily or don't like being made fun of, not the spot for you! They also have some unique artwork on the walls for sale. There's a cool chalk board of all the Instagram profiles of the comedians so you can follow them too. The venue accepts donations via Venmo and have cool shirts for sale. I highly recommend this spot for a low key comedy event. Who knows, someone you see might be the next big comedian! read more

room 808 - a room with a red light - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Room 808 opened after Covid for a place to showcase up and coming comedians. I think have been there 5-6 times in the last year. Be prepared to interact as the comics do that as part of their bit. This venue is awesome! Mt favorite comic is Benny Nwokeabia! read more

So much fun ! Comics are hilarious, crowd was sweet and engaging. Will definitely be back

We had so much fun here. We laughed from the very opening all the way to the end. It is such a good time to enjoy comedy in a very very intimate setting with a bunch of other people who are just there to have a good time. If you want to laugh go here. A blast read more

What a fun experience! I love comedy shows. You never know what will happen. Room 808 is a tiny club with unique & colorful art painted on the walls. The doors open on time, not early. Because I got there early, I had time to grab a glass of wine and the frito micro at San Matteo which was delicious. The club is BYOB so feel free to bring cocktails & snacks. The comedians were funny talking about a range of topics. There plenty of good natured interaction with the audience. ( I assured on guy he didn't look like Paul Giamotti) Bonus: tix are super affordable. Who doesn't need a laugh these days? Treat yo'self! read more

Total fun. Wonderful interactions. The seats are hard plastic, but okay. Drinks available from across the road - easy.

Great laughs! BYOB, there is pizza across the street and a liquor store close by! The person checking you in is extremely nice! read more

Came here for a comedy show a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the space. It's basically an art gallery that sets up chairs for cozy, intimate hilarious show. There were 3 comics who performed and they were each hilarious. They allow BYOB so it's very fun, although the crowd can get a bit rowdy because of that. The host and staff were really friendly and the bathroom was clean. Really cool place in the neighborhood! read more

I took my boyfriend here for a celebratory date and it exceeded expectations! This was our first time at a comedy club and it did not disappoint. The venue was intimate but it worked well.

This place doesn't seem like much on the outside but don't judge a book by it's cover! We got tickets here for the Thursday FREE secret show. Our set had 5 hilarious comedians that each had their own style that had me laughing til my face hurt. They were able to read the audience well and adjust their sets accordingly, which made for an even more engaging experience. The BYOB is also heavily encouraged since there are no alcohol sales here. There's a liquor store across the street if you need to pick up something on the way. Overall the venue was a cozy spot, and I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fun and affordable night out. read more

Found out about this place through word of mouth and had to check it out. Was not disappointed. It is a great atmosphere to see some hilarious people! After leaving, I realized I saw a few of the comedians, on IG, a few weeks prior. The shows are free, they allow you to bring your own beverages, and they accept donations to keep their place going. If you're in/around/thinking about going to NW DC, make sure you give them a visit! read more

Super fun date spot or night out with friends in DC. I loved the overall vibe of the spot and it's a really cozy comedy venue. The comedians we saw were hilarious!!
