Film + Comics = DC Shorts LAUGHS!

Winter can be gloomy. So why not laugh away the grey haze and cold weather with some of DC Shorts’ favorite comedy films — and live sets by area stand-up comedians — in a cabaret setting.

Each 90-minute show will combine film and live performance for a spectacular and lighthearted evening. Choose a show time below to see what films will be playing and who will be performing their latest comedy routines.

Arrive early and order dinner/snacks off Riot Act’s extensive menu, or stay after for post-show cocktails in their large lounge. There is NO 2-drink minimum for these events.

This is the perfect opportunity to catch films you might have missed from past years — and whet your appetite for future DC Shorts events. Plus, pick up information on how you can become a screener to help select the films for DC Shorts 2012.
