National Union Building

A story about the things we never talk about. But we should. iregretnothingshow.com
I Regret Nothing is a one woman show about the funny, shocking, and ultimately redemptive story of a successful entrepreneur who found herself in way over her head, and couldn't figure out how she got there in the first place. It started with a Jewfro, took a detour to bombing on a comedy stage in NYC, and included a 4am pitstop in the ER with her pants at her ankles. And it gets a little worse from there. You will laugh. You might cry. And you might leave regretting things a little less.
Dates: September 1, 2 &amp; 3, 2026
Venue: National Union Building · 918 F St NW · Washington, D.C.
Runtime: Approx. 90 minutes, no intermission
