You’ve heard that THE BENTZEN BALL COMEDY FESTIVAL is back!

AND IT’S ONLY TWO WEEKS AWAY

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

Friday 12/01

Todd Glass @ DC Improv Lounge

$20

Todd built a three-decade comedy career by learning all the rules -- then finding the funniest ways to break them. His mix of classic stand-up and off-the-wall behavior has made him a pioneer on the alternative comedy scene, and a favorite in the industry. (Just check out the guests he lands for his hit podcast, “The Todd Glass Show.”) He’s back in our lounge this December for his signature “intimate evenings.”
