Comedy & Community

A night of comedy, community and great cocktails. We’ll talk about belonging in this new neighborhood gem. Tickets free. Donations welcome.
A Night of Comedy & Belonging
Join us for an intimate evening of a COMEDY followed by a conversation about home and belonging, at a new creative space on Georgia Avenue: Three Whistles.
The night begins with a casual social hour—time to meet neighbors, share stories, and settle into community—before transitioning into a stand-up showcase where comedians dive into layers of home and belonging.
Through sharp humor and personal storytelling, featured comics explore identity, migration, family, culture, and the in-between spaces we all navigate. Expect perspectives that are heartfelt, unfiltered, and genuinely funny—where laughter becomes a way of making sense of where we come from and where we’re going.
This event also serves as a prelude to an upcoming experiential one-woman show, MAKE AMERICA HOME, featuring Rola Z set to open at Atlas Performing Arts Center June 14th, as part of Atla Arts Lab.
Schedule:
7pm Social Hour: Come early, grab a drink, and connect
8pm Comedy Show: A curated lineup of DC comedians who have performed at DC Improv, The Kennedy Center, Howard Theater.
Meet people and build community in a welcoming, creative space
Experience comedy that goes beyond surface-level laughs
Be part of the early energy leading into a larger theatrical work
Registration to attend the show is COMPLIMENTARY and all attendees have a 2-item-minimum from a selection of great food, cocktails, and more.
Come for the community, stay for the comedy—and maybe leave with a new sense of what “home” can be.
