You’ll notice that this week’s DC Comedy Lineup is a bit abridged, and that’s because time got away from me this week. My apologies to those who had shows on Monday and Tuesday this week and to readers who were expecting to see the lineup on the site and in their inboxes on Sunday. Luckily, there’s still comedy to report on for the rest of this week!
