D.C summers may be nice, but D.C winters are filled with just as many events for you and the family. Check out these events happening in November and December.

Truth or Dare Comedy Show

This comedy show has a fun and candid twist. If you’re expecting a typical show where a comedian tells you jokes and there’s rarely any audience interaction, think again. This show involves comedians doing their usual jokes, but during every pause an audience member can say “truth or dare”. Then, the comedian will be prompted to act out any of the truth or dares that have been pre-picked from a bucket. This event is a fun and engaging way to interact with local comedians and people in your area, and the best part is it’s free. This event is Metro accessible through the blue, orange, or silver line.
