Interrogation was clever and funny. Best of show was mixed- some comics had a hard time pivoting to an audience demographic they were not expecting. Maybe rodeo brought a different crowd?

The only downside is the small seats, why it's 4 not 5. It was hard to sit for the 2 hour show in the seats. Also they had no recycling for the bottle my beverage came in which was kind of a bummer.

The atmosphere is fun, the crowd energy is usually good, and it's one of my favorite spots in DC for comedy shows. Just don't forget there is a two item minimum once you're seated, so definitely keep that in mind before you go. Other than that, it's always a good time and I'll definitely keep coming back for more shows.

I recognize that the Magic Duel takes huge pride in 5 star reviews on Yelp, which I deeply respect. But I did wish that we had seen the show in a different venue. I am no stage expert, but lights and sound do matter a lot in delivery of a magic show for a skeptic like me, going because the significant other loves magic shows. With better lighting, things would have been more "magical" (thinking bottles.) I was also surprised that a bubble artist, as good as she was in her profession, was considered a magician. After some quick research, you will end up at Magic Duel in this genre, so please go to Dupont or Georgetown.

I did a quick google search and found out that HotBed offers free comedy shows throughout the week. We stopped in on a Thursday evening for their 8pm show. We took our time with travel and unfortunately got there when the show was already underway. Moreover, there were no more seats, only standing room. A bit uncomfortable but we made it work. The space itself is cozy and very reminiscent of what I think a comedy club would look like from TV or if I heard about it. There is a bar available however, we opted out as it was on the opposite side of the room. I don't think there was a drink minimum either. The show itself, was amazing ! There were about 15 comedians, I think. Out of all of them, maybe 1 or 2 weren't great. Their sets are timed to about 2-5 minutes, so you'll still be laughing at the last comedian while another preps themselves to go up. The comedians are also a great variety of folks, from black to white, young to older, and straight to LGBTQ. I also liked how they interacted with the audience, so funny! Overall, it was a great time. I'll definitiely be returning if I am in town and I highly recommend for others, especially if you are looking for something to do on a budget.
