Kelsie thank you for this great site! Would it be possible to list the shows that are Friday and Saturday (for example the Bad Medicine sketch show) on Friday and Saturday? Some readers might not realize that there are even more great options for Saturday, in case they missed Friday!

Thanks for the feedback! We’ve been experimenting with some different layouts for the DC Comedy Lineup, and I think you’re right: this particular layout is a bit confusing. For future posts, we’ll go back to listing shows individually.
