Even with the tight seating arrangements I love this place! Food, staff, sound system, drinks & price are really cool.
A lot of funny acts come through here. Parking is right next door (pay). Pretty good atmosphere. Decent food. Friendly staff. I've been several times and I never had a problem. My only complaint is that they sit four people at a table the size of an end table.. 6 at the size of a small coffee table. And it is a tight squeeze so get use to bumping up to strangers. But it is all ok, everyone is there to laugh and once the show starts, you don't notice. Go with friends or become friends with the people at your table. Seriously it is better than watching a movie and more affordable.
I love the D.C. Improv. Had VIP tickets to see John Witherspoon. The service was good and all the comedians to include the headliner, John, were hilarious. Great atmosphere...wonderful crowd...it's my Go To place to have fun and forget about the work week.
I've been wanting to experience this club for years and finally did. I thoroughly enjoyed the club. The staff was very friendly to the patrons arriving and customer service was a priority. The show was great also.
Last night was my first time there. I had a great time. Nice atmosphere. Good food. Didn't try the drinks. That'll be next time. Michael Blackson was very funny. It was worth the money and the trip down down from NY
I loved the show however please upgrade your food menu. Bar food with a funny twist would work ��
Loved the show, I can't wait to go back, parking was great, food and drinks were also great, I have absolutely No Complaints👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Jo koy was amazing and darn funny! Awesome show and great services..... #Jokoykilledit #❤️him #HighfiveDCImprov
VIP front row tickets for sexy ass DeRay Davis. Extremely tight seating but the system obviously works. I'll be back.
Great place. A tad crowded but it adds to the appeal of a comedy club.
It is situated in a cozy and cool venue located downstairs. For each show, there is a two item minimum with appetizer prices from $10-15 and entrees from $16-25. There is an open bar, so they can make a variety of drinks which range from $10-$15 cocktails. The menu is available online when one books tickets, which is nice.
The food is subpar but I was impressed that their burgers contained a half a pound of beef. The servers are nice and the layout of the club makes it so that almost all the seats have a good view of the stage. I would still recommend arriving early if one wants to be closer to the main stage.
Tony Woods and Friends was a funny and exciting show to watch. It was an excellent experience for my first visit to the DC Improv. The pictures are at the end when the group of comedians attempted to do a group photo.
I had an awesome time here on Wednesday night! It was a class graduation and everybody was actually really funny. The drinks were strong and the mozzarella sticks were good. Would for sure go back for another event!

Okay!!! So I was thoroughly impressed with the booking of this show. I went to the show alone and I received a followup up phone call from the club to verify my seating arrangements such as sitting with a group or coming alone. Loved that! Parking is off-street parking so you may have to walk a little bit to get there. When I arrived the check process was smooth and I was seated at the “singles” table. Now this could’ve been done better. The table that I was seated at was 6 ft and there were three chairs on each side of table. Now you do the math…:if the chairs were 18-20 inches wide it was a TIGHT FIT!! Now this may not have been as big of an issue if the show wasn’t sold out or if I was sitting with a group I knew . They definitely should’ve removed two chairs from the table to provide adequate space. There is a two item
Minimum that must be ordered throughout the show. For food..I would recommend the dips or fries. The Buffalo wings I had were not seasoned at all.
The service was top tier. The waiters were punctual and cash out was easy. Overall, I would definitely return and think it was a good value for money. Things I would do different is arrive earlier so I could have a better selection of chairs to choose from or pay for a reserved seat so I could be more comfortable. I would also eat before I come and just order drinks to satisfy the purchase requirements.
My first time coming here and it was a very good time. We ended up getting general seating which was very tight and a little less personal but if you love networking, this is perfect because you’re sitting next to strangers at the same table as you.
The buffalo chicken wings weren’t the greatest, but the mixed drinks were good. They make you purchase two items per person which is interesting but we ended up seeing Adam Davis and he was funny. I throughly enjoyed the show!
Now that we've done it looking forward to going again. Loved the intimate feel and easy access location. Didn't have that gross smell or feel that some spots do. Clean with space to walk through. Good view of the stage throughout the room. Food was bar style but didn't have a greasy instant heartattack taste. Was fresh and good. Service was on point.
Food was fantastic. Staff was pleasant and fast! My server didnt miss a beat. Im kinda short, but it didnt matter where they sat me i was able to see pretty well and if by chance i couldn't, they have 2 tv screens for viewing on either side of the comedians. They had open mic night. Very good show! Would love to go again!
What a fun night at DC improv. The service was good and the show fantastic. Know before you go - each person is required to purchase two items. Definitely worth it!

First time coming here. Things were smooth. We had the general admission so i came earlier to secure the seats, and the other people could come in later and checked-in with the purchaser's last name.
The food and drinks were all delicious with fair prices. The service was great too. The best part for me was that they sent the check without disturbing our show experience. One time in NYC the clerk just stood by me with the machine on hand in the middle of the show, and i was completely distracted:( Here they put the check on everyone's table, took them away, and left the tray with receipt & card. Swift and efficient but not disturbing!
I didn't know they would have opening comedians just like opening singers for concerts ✨ the two openers were so funny! I love the gecko's jokes🙌🏻 (sorry Cole but somehow you did look alike....)
Another interesting thing was that the washingtonians were ON TIME 😂 the door opened at 6:15 and the show started at 7:30. I got there at 6:10 to wait for my friend and there was already a long line!!!🤣
This was my first time attending since the renovation, and I really love the new feel the venue gives off. It feels more open and inviting, and of course, the show was phenomenal! DeRay showed out!
Friendly staff, great comics. Food and drinks were good. Perfect for a date night. Small venue but a good time was had! Will definitely go back.
It was our first time there. The entrance is actually going down the stairs, not the big doors on the first floor. Once you go in, there is a ticket counter. We had online tickets, so we were directed to our room where someone checked us in and seated us. You have a decent menu. There is a 2 item minimum per ticket (that is how they make their money) Food is pretty good. The show was really good. Overall good time. We went on a Sunday evening, so all parking lots were closed, but managed to find street parking a couple of blocks away.
We had an awesome time. Second time coming here. This time it was a comdey kumite competition. Even though I'd never heard of any of the comedians all 6 were pretty funny. It's a tight fit to get everyone in there and not much room at your table, but it was a fun time. Food was good and a fair amount of options. More than I've had at other comedy shows. 2 item minimum per person FYI. Very intimate feel and vibe for the show and atmosphere. Excellent night out. Will do again
Best comedy venue in town. We’ve been several times to see big and small name performers and all have been hilarious and made for an amazing night out. I prefer to pay the extra $20 or so for the front row when it’s available just to make it a truly memorable event. But the whole place is small and intimate and perfect for what it is. An awesome, smaller basement venue with excellent, big name shows.
My first time here and the drinks were so yummy! The food was is really good too! Service is amazing. Food came hot quick.
I was just in town for a few days and as a comedy lover and must say… I was happy when I left. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are visiting☺️.
The DC Improve is a small but intimate venue that hosts some of the best comedians in the country.
It's a great date night spot, or a place to simply hang with friends. There is a two item ordering minimum per person, so keep that in mind when planning to attend. There are several parking garages around the venue so parking isn't too bad.
I've never tried their food, and seating could be a little tight, which is available on a first come basis. Your host will take you to your table, and you just need to hope it's not too tight.
The wait in line to get in can take a little while as well, and I think it depends on the show time. People from the previous show need to clear out, and the venue needs to be cleaned, so be prepared.
Overall, I give the DC Improve a strong four stars, borderline five and Sheryl Underwood is a must-see!
Go check them out!
Small intimate comedy venue. The staff was attentive & professional. Comics were vibrant, fresh & hilarious. The food was pretty good & reasonably priced. It was a great date night. We ordered the BBQ chicken wings with fries, chicken quesadilla the hummus plate as an appetizer. We also added a Moscato & a Strongbow to top off our meals.
