The Sketch Jam: DC's Only Sketch Comedy Open Mic

📅 Date: Tuesday, April 29
🕙 Time: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
📍 The DC Arts Center, 2438 18th St NW, Washington, DC 20009

Half-open mic, half-writer’s group, this show is a place for writers to bring something new that they’ve written to the stage so they can see it performed live for the first time. Bring yourself along for the fun and be an onstage performer, or write a script yourself and see it come to life.

Don't have your own sketch group yet? Have a funny script and want to see it on stage? Want to get more experience performing sketch comedy? Want to get started in the DC Sketch Comedy scene? This is the place to go! Newcomers welcome, and a few experienced DC sketch comedy groups will be there to make you laugh too.

Signups first 10 minutes. Show immediately after. Hosted by Jim Tatalias and Anne Butcher!
