Comedy Incubator – You Belong on Stage Cohort 5 Graduation Showcase!

April 17 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm EDT
$35

Grads of a class for new comedians of underrepresented genders perform stand-up sets developed over the course of a 6-week intensive.

Washington, D.C. area has a thriving comedy scene. As in most places, the majority of stand comedy shows in DC are primarily made up of cis male comedians. Amplifying the diverse voices of the DMV is critical, and we want people of all genders to know that they belong on stage.

Spring of 2023, Grassroots created and launched a new incubator program for underrepresented genders in comedy — it was so much fun that we did it again and again, and this show features graduates from our fifth cohort of students! Now’s your chance to see some of the funniest new people taking the stage in DC before they get famous.

Cohort 5 Graduates:

Annie Kling

Avery Miller

Cynthia Via

Elizabeth Smith

Em Knepp

Kanyinsola Ajayi

Meera Kallapura

Micaiah Kimble-Glover

Rebecca Jacobs

Shreya Datta

Vas Vlastaras
