Best Comedy & Stand-up This Spring

in Washington

Kathleen Madigan at Warner Theater

Kathleen Madigan

Described by comedy peer Lewis Black as the "funniest woman in America", the winner of the American Comedy Award for Best Female Comedian is a triple threat; as well as her sell-out tours, Madigan is a favorite on late-night talk shows and nationally syndicated radio shows. With an enviable career spanning three decades on the comedy circuit, she has the distinction of being one of few comics to appear on every major late-night show including Leno, Letterman, Conan, and Ferguson.

Katt Williams at DAR Constitution Hall

Katt Williams

Williams' sharply tuned mind is unafraid to tackle any topic, no matter how awkward it may seem. From first taking to the stage as a teenager with his thought-provoking (and hilarious) social commentary, William now boasts over 20 years in the 'biz. Known for covering topics like the war on drugs, truth and lies and even the chicken wing shortage, in his brand new tour 'Dark' Matter', who knows what Williams' will joke about!

Morgan Jay at Lincoln Theater

Morgan Jay

This year, catch Los Angeles based Morgan Jay on his laugh-out-loud Love Down Under Tour! An expert in the field of belly laughs, Jay has made impressive appearances on NBC, Wild'N'Out, and Comedy Central, and has also amassed a sizable social media following on platforms like TikTok and Instagram - with the blue ticks to go with! Since his debut, Morgan has steadily become one of the most well-known names in the comedy and music industries.
