She the People – The Resistance Continues – Second City

Tuesday, December 12 from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Woolly Mammoth Theatre 641 D Street NW Washington, DC

Don’t miss this she-quel to last year’s Second City production at Woolly Mammoth!! Join your fellow Wildcats to howl with laughter at this all-female comedic show.

After last year’s thoroughly entertaining She the People, The Second City is returning to DC with its latest headlining production, She the People: The Resistance Continues!

This sketch comedy show is created, designed, and performed by an all-funny, all-star team of women. She the People: The Resistance Continues! satirizes the reality of being a woman in this wild world, exploding the myths and misrepresentations surrounding bachelorettes, Beyoncé, the 2020 election, and much more. The Washington Post called it a funny, fiercely political sketch-comedy show and the Chicago Tribune called it empowering entertainment.

The NU Club of DC has secured deeply-discounted group tickets – and a complimentary drink coupon with each ticket – for the evening performance of She the People: The Resistance Continues! on Thursday, December 12th.

Start the holiday season with joy and laughter as you enjoy The Second City in DC!

Sunday, April 8 from 7:00 PM to April 8, 2018

Here at Blanket Fort we try to curate and plan a hilarious and relatable comedy show with all types of weird junk. Everybody eats food. If you don’t eat food you’re a robot and that’s scary. We’ll still have you at the show but please laugh and please don’t take us over iRobot style until it’s completely over. Then you can go ahead and use us as batteries or whatever but please wait til afterwards. We’ve put too much time and energy into this show to not have one last banger before the takeover.

If you haven’t heard, we’re a comedy variety show in a giant blanket fort.

Here’s the dang lineup:
Music from Comfort Zone
Stand up from Sammy Arechar

Improv from Sad Party
Stand Up from K Francis Norris
Stand up from Austin Mooney
Banjo from Brian Lirot
Stand up from Lyn-z Harney
