Kiran Deol
The Other Side
12/18/19 • 35 min
A lot of impressive people come to the DC Improv, but it's hard to top Kiran Deol -- how many stand-ups have starred in a network sitcom AND filmed a documentary in the mountains of Nepal? The "Sunnyside" star calls in to chat about the holidays, her path to comedy, the joys of being on (the side of) a bus and lots more. Get to know her, then snag tickets for her DCI debut -- January 10-11 in our lounge showroom!

Headliner of State: Warren Harding
The Other Side
08/29/16 • 53 min
The search for the funniest president continues! Warren Harding was amazingly popular in his day. Was he also amazingly funny?
We're joined by Sherry Hall, the site manager of the Harding Home Presidential Site in Marion, Ohio. She gives us insight into Harding's personal style (he considered himself a newspaper editor above all), his love of socializing, and his Midwestern humor -- the qualities that made him irresistable to a huge number of voters.
For all you scandal lovers, we also touch on the affairs and schlocky love letters that made Harding into a punchline when they were made public in 2014. And there's also some mention of Pokemon Go. Something for everyone!

03/06/19 • 41 min
Jenny Johnson headlines our lounge showroom March 15-16, so she's calling in to introduce herself.

Before headlining the club July 6-9, the "Last Comic Standing" champ tells us about his summer vacations, his quest to become the world's greatest breakdancer, and the fun of digital detox.
Headliner of State: Harry Truman
The Other Side
06/22/16 • 42 min
The search for the funniest president continues! Harry Truman might be one of the most likable presidents ... but does that mean he's also one of the funniest?
Matthew Algeo, the author of "Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure," is our guest. His book tells the story of ex-president Truman's 1953 road trip with his wife -- where he drove the car himself and tried (unsuccessfully) to travel incognito. It's a charming story that lets Harry's personality shine through.
Did Truman's "regular guy" ethic carry over to his comedy? Was he the best practical joker among presidents? And did highway patrolmen find his driving a little funny? Find out!

Headliner of State: James Garfield
The Other Side
02/10/17 • 56 min
James Garfield was an insatiable student. But did he learn to be funny?
The National Park Service is here to help us find out. Todd Arrington, the site manager for the James A. Garfield National Historic Site, tells us all about the 20th president's personality -- and why Garfield's good nature helped him become a contender in the first place. It's a cool look at an underappreciated POTUS.
