DC Comedy Night: Immigrant Stories with four well-known, local, immigrant comedians. It’ll be on the socially-distant outside patio, as well as streamed on IG live! The ticket price will be 100% redeemable for food and beverages on the evening itself. It’s not a cover charge, but only serves as a way to mitigate no-shows. There will be two tiers – table service is $12.50, and seating is $7.50 — this amount is then subtracted from the guest’s check. 

Here are short bios of these well-known comedians:
