Busboys and Poets TAKOMA

All jokes are conceived somewhere! See the best DC comics doing a mix of their best stuff and totally new jokes. It’s The Womb! For one very special night of The Womb, Improbable Comedy is partnering with Grassroots Comedy to bring you The Womb: Comedy Workshop. Some of your favorite stand up comedians will bring completely new jokes to you, mixed right in to a set with their best stuff. In THE WOMB, all jokes are conceived somewhere (see what we did there?) – let’s hear the best of them and you can pick your faves! This show features graduates of Grassroots Comedy’s “You Belong on Stage” Standup Comedy Incubator for Women and Nonbinary Folx, a new program for aspiring comedians to build community and workshop material. Your lineup includes Rosalie Rubio, Grace Guber, Khadija Mehter, Cheyenne Mathews, and Maddie Pickens. About half of this pilot cohort had never been on stage before, and all worked hard to find their comedic voices and hone their five minute sets through weekly classes and support from some of the best comics in the DMV. We will also have sets from some of the professional comedians who trained this crew, including Chelsea Shorte, Yasmin Elhady, and Blaire Postman plus our incredible host, Hedy Sandberg.
