DC Improv Comedy Club

Welcome to The Washington Roast—the hit comedy show where your favorite (and least favorite) politicians get scorched in savage, no-holds-barred roast battles. For over five years, this politically incorrect spectacle has brought together top local comedians to portray real-life political figures—from Trump to Kamala, AOC to MTG, Bernie to Biden—and tear into each other with jokes so wrong they just might be right. No one is safe. No side is spared. And every insult is bipartisan. Hosted by Tim Kardashian—dubbed as DC’s roast master by Timeout —this is not your average political satire. The Washington Roast blends sharp writing, savage roasts, and a fully interactive format where the audience becomes part of the chaos. From the unfiltered townhall segment to live voting that determines which comedians get re-elected or politically canceled, The Washington Roast puts the power (and the punchlines) in your hands. As seen on NPR, FOX, CBS, PBS, NBC, and Prime Video. Proceeds benefiting Hilarity for Charity, a non-profit founded by Seth Rogen and his wife to provide Alzheimer’s research, care grants, and preventative measures.

DC9 Nightclub

D.C. indie folk rockers Night Hawk headline DC9 with Spirit of the Bear on the heels of their new E.P. "Somewhere, Anywhere"
Night Hawk is an American indie rock band from Brunswick, Maine, now based in Washington, D.C. Originally a songwriting vehicle for Colter Adams and Peyton Semjen, the project has evolved into an acclaimed live act, earning a devoted following for its enchanting harmonies and clear-eyed lyricism.
Night Hawk’s music is defined by stark geometry and bold imagery, underpinned by crackling warmth and simmering tension. Drawing on themes of urban isolation, self-discovery amidst challenging transitions, and the catalogue of 20th century painter Edward Hopper, the band blends mellifluous violin and delicate finger-style guitar with the raw energy of barnstorming alternative rock, creating a sonic palette that is as expansive as it is emotionally precise.
The band has collaborated with the Whitney Museum and the Edward Hopper House on the Edward Hopper Recomposed concert series in Nyack, NY. Their debut album, Before We Begin, was produced by Colter Adams and Colin Miller (Indigo de Souza, Wednesday, MJ Lenderman).
Their E.P. "Somewhere, Anywhere," is out on all platforms on May 30, 2026.
***
Spirit of the Bear quickly became one of the most fresh and exciting bands to emerge in the Ohio music scene with their unique blend of indie rock, pop, and electronic sensibilities coupled with their affinity for pop song writing. The band’s years of musical experience are accentuated by their use of two keyboard players, bringing a unique depth to their sound. Consisting of James Harker (lead vocals, guitar), Danny Svenson (keyboards), Ethan Schwendeman (keyboards), Nate Gelfand (Bass), and Jamie Vitullo (Drums), the band has shared the stage with acts such as Crowded House, Our Lady Peace, Ra Ra Riot, and Robert DeLong, among others. The members of Spirit of the Bear have 3 dogs and 5 cats, collectively.
