We are on a roll! Seven shows. Seven sellouts. This show is sure to be number eight! Your headliner this month:
RAHMEIN MOSTAFAVI
Rahmein Mostafavi charms crowds with comic timing and charisma developed throughout two decades of live performance. He addresses social and political topics with a combination of satirical and observational comedy, leaving audiences with a greater sense of purpose, sex appeal and the occasional leg cramp.
Rahmein entered the stand-up world after working as a longtime cast member of “Shear Madness,” the acclaimed Kennedy Center improv/comedy whodunit. His natural joke writing ability, combined with his acting chops, has won him rave reviews in both the Washington area and around the country. He also produces events like a rockstar, bringing live comedy to venues in Maryland, DC and Virginia. He is also the creator and host of the national smash hit Couples Therapy: A Comedy Show.
Rahmein has shared the stage with some of the best comics in the nation, including Dave Attell, Jake Johannsen, Artie Lange, Bert Kreischer, Rich Vos, Jon Lovitz, Tim Meadows, Joe Matarese, Bob Marley, The Sklar Brothers, Jen Kirkman, Red Grant, Godfrey, Joe Torry, Kyle Kinane, Finesse Mitchell, Louis CK, and Maz Jobrani. He has been featured at the Laugh Your Asheville Off comedy festival, The Devil Cup, Red Clay, The Cleveland Comedy Festival, and the Cape May Comedy Festival. Rahmein has been seen on FOX, heard regularly on Sirius XM, was featured in “The Truth About Money” on PBS, is a regular at the DC Improv, Kennedy Center, and was honored to be a speaker at the world famous TEDx Talks.
FEATURING
AMBER HENDRIX
Amber Hendrix is a Richmond, Virginia-based comedian and producer with the bite force of a juvenile caiman. A writer for satire sites Reductress and The Hard Times, Amber has opened for Dave Attell, Emily Catalano, Rachel Scanlon, and Geoffrey Asmus, among others. She recently featured at the 2025 Raleigh Comedy Festival and performs regularly at the DC Improv.

Matt Chrzanowski is a stand-up comedian based out of Washington, DC. He talks a lot about his southern upbringing and corporate life. There isn't much overlap between the two. Matt has performed at the DC Improv, Laughing Skull Lounge, 9:30 Club, and the Red Clay Comedy Festival. He's performed with acts such as Joey Avery, Dan Toomey, and Eddie Ifft.

Appearance by 
OLIVIA WITT
Olivia Witt is a heterosexual-but-in-a-cool-way comedian from Madison, WI, now residing in Brooklyn, NY. She was both a Madison’s Funniest Comic 2022 Top 5 Finalist and a featured Comic of the Week on the Jackie and Laurie Show. She has opened many people more famous than her including Brian Posehn (Big Bang Theory), Alex Edelman (The Paper), Michael Longfellow (SNL), and Demetri Martin (y’know). In addition to standup, she currently tours a duo sketch variety show that she created with her sister Diana Witt.
HOSTED BY:
PETE BERGEN
He may look and sound gruff but he is a big bear of a sweetheart. You’ll love his take on his own sordid history and observations in general. He has opened for and performed with some great folks like Patton Oswalt, Rory Scovel, Bobcat Goldthwait, Annie Lederman, David Koechner, Kelsey Cook, Annie Lederman, Alonso Bodden and more while featuring and headlining some great venues like the DC Improv (DC), Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse (VA), Magooby’s Joke House (MD), Nicks Comedy Stop (Boston), Governors (NY), Church Of Satire (PA) and The Drafthouse Comedy Theater (DC). He is also in recovery and is in demand for 12 step conventions all over. You may recognize Pete from his numerous appearances on Investigation Discovery shows or from his episode on the classic Americas Most Wanted. He always plays a cop because, well, look at him. Pete can also be seen as a contributor on local panel shows “Like It Or Not” and “The Final 5”, both on Fox 5 DC, offering up humorous takes on the days events.
