# Event Details - **Event Name**: Comedy Catalyst Spring Showcase - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 04 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Mon, 20 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Comedians and advocates join forces for a night of sharp standup and sketch tackling the biggest issues of our time.About this Event*Happy Hour: 6:30 - 7:30pm*Show: 8pmThe news cycle lately has felt less like reality and more like a rejected draft of 1984. Disinformation spreads faster than facts, authoritarianism is having a global comeback tour, and inequality keeps widening like it’s trying to qualify for the Olympics. It’s a lot. When the world starts to feel this absurd, sometimes the only rational response is… to laugh at it.Grassroots Comedy has seen enough, which is why we launched the Comedy Catalyst Course in partnership with Rising Organizers - a program designed to help comedians and advocates harness humor as a tool for civic engagement and social change. This showcase is the culmination of that experiment: what happens when a class made up of advocates who want to use more humor and comedians who want to do more advocacy come together to figure out how to make that happen. Expect a mix of standup and sketch comedy tackling the issues of our time: from immigration and voting rights to trans rights, the displacement of the government workforce, and more, all custom-tailored to make you laugh while pointing toward real calls to action.In a moment when so many people feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to help, this show is a reminder that laughter can still bring people together - and sometimes even move them to act. Come see what happens when comedy meets courage. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/washington/comedy-catalyst-spring-showcase/100001984972798073 - **Event Categories**: comedy, workshops, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fcomedy-catalyst-spring-showcase-tickets-1984972798073 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.85, max: 108.55, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Washington - **state**: DC - **country**: United States - **location**: The Festival Center - **lat**: 38.9252883 - **long**: -77.03802259999999 - **full address**: The Festival Center, 1640 Columbia Road Northwest, Washington, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Grassroots Comedy (https://allevents.in/org/grassroots-comedy/22545055) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/edb5f253ed7468943745e7062d8aeafd81a528e6fd8e83abd814ab453a675af5-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf1dfdd-gmir.jpg?v=1773427468 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/d584844f1676953f12098f3801ab1ddae9f3b2b85e5eba4f51686ff14ae1ce0c-rimg-w400-h400-dcf2dfdd-gmir.jpg?v=1773427467 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening?
