You may have noticed that The Friday Funnies Showcase took a hiatus for a few months. That was so its host, Cafe Saint-Ex could totally renovate the basement. From the stage to the bar, everything in the subterranean club is brand new. Now that the update is done, the weekly comedy show has returned!

Every Friday night from 8 to 10 p.m., some of the DMV area’s top and trending comics take to the stage for brief sets. They typically last about 10 minutes each, which means you’ll get to experience the unique humor of many different personalities. They each have their own hilarious take on current events and everyday life, so expect the punchlines to have you rolling. Instead of charging a cover, Cafe Saint-Ex and Capital Laughs (the organizer of the show) are offering tickets online at a donate-what-you-can price point. Note, however, that there will be no ticket sales at the door since this popular date-night activity is expected to sell out. After all, many of the top-notch comics have performed on Comedy Central, HBO, NBC, TBS, and other major networks, so they have followings!
