Oh hey, you might have noticed that this week’s DC Comedy Lineup is LATE, and for that we apologize. We’re largely a one-woman show here at Comedic Pursuits, and that means we occasionally let things slip through the cracks. If you’re at all interested (and available) to help out, please let us (by that, I mean me) know by emailing kanderson@comedicpursuits.com
