We published thousands of photos in 2016. THOUSANDS. Making a selection of 16 favorites was the hardest thing we’ve done in a while. So hard, in fact that, this actually has more than 16 photos in it. We know, we know. From tiny things to big crowds, sumo wrestlers to country legends, here’s a look back on the year.

January 29: Behind The Scenes: American Ballet Theatre’s The Sleeping Beauty @ Kennedy Center

by Kate Warren

>>>>>>>>>>>> Here is a Featured Event >>>>>>>>>>>>

Friday 10/13

Dave Attell @ DC Improv

$35

Dave built his following the old fashioned way: He earned it. Starting in New York, he eventually took to the road, sharing his ”very adult” comedy with audiences across the country. By the time Comedy Central signed him to do “Insomniac,” he was already one of the most popular touring stand-ups. Dave is still a presence on TV, with “Dave’s Old Porn,” “Comedy Underground” and appearances on the late night talk shows. And he continues to cement his status as one of the all-time great club comics.
