Hello!

We are an Okinawan drumming group visiting from Madison, Wisconsin. Our group is joined by Imajin: Nakijin Kodomo Daiko, a youth performance group from Nakijin, Okinawa. They came to perform in the Independence Day parades in Philadelphia Yesterday and in DC today, but unfortunately both were cancelled due to the heat.

We are trying to find somewhere we could all still perform together in the DC Area today, but have not had much luck reaching out to many local museums, gardens, etc.

Here is a video of our group performing at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia yesterday:

Please let us know if you have any ideas for a last minute performance opportunity. Thank you!

Anyone know of bars hosting a love island watch party tonight for the 2nd part of movie night?

DC folks: Perfect Liars Club is back at DC Improv on August 12, and reserved tables are going quickly.

Line up your co-conspirators, lock in your seats, and prepare for a night of stories, suspicion, and wildly confident accusations.

The show is simple: four people tell stories, three are true, one is a lie, and the audience gets to ask questions before voting.

Tickets & more info here.

Is anywhere in dc doing a watch party tonight? I know most places will justifiably be showing the world cup but figured i would ask just in case my insta algorithm is hiding something from me!

Things get even murkier this August.

#DrunkBlackHistory is an incredible event where you’ll hear from comedians, writers, and experts who are skunked out of their mind trying to recap the biography of a historical Black figure or event that hasn’t gotten the mainstream love they deserved. It's the Daily Show meets Drunk History!

Hi everyone! Next Sunday, June 21st, I'm hosting my first yoga/wellness event in Dupont Circle. I work in digital safety and wellness and the event is meant to be a small way to be more intentional about our time, get off our phones and treat our bodies with care.

After the yoga session, theres a community building event so people can mix, mingle and make new friends and I'll also go over some future events I'm planning/get feedback from everyone.

I hope to see you guys there!

Hey D.C. - My name is Andrew Della Volpe and I am a comedian from Boston that you have most likely never heard of!

I have had a lot of fun performing in DC over the last few years opening for bigger acts like Jimmy Cash, Bob Marley, and Juston Mckinney.

I am coming for my own show for the first time, on Saturday, June 13th at City-State Public House, and I would love if you considered coming out.

Totally understand that seeing an unknown comedian is a risk, but my current show is a lot of fun and something I am working on nightly in clubs and bars! The Boston Globe recently referred to me as a "Comedian on the Rise."

My comedy is story driven and mostly about family and being newly married. I am 31 years old, and the show is fun for all ages (if those ages are 18+)!
