Laugh Index Theatre (LIT) is your one-stop shop for all your comedy needs.  At LIT, we’re passionate about comedy, and we're contantly growing & increasing the laughter in Washington DC.  Laugh Index started in 2011 as a producer of comedy variety shows with an emphasis on long-form improv and with its already year-old, six-person improv troupe, Hot & Sweaty, as its headliner.  By June 2013, Laugh Index had produced many shows and had its own improv festival.  Now as Laugh Index Theatre, a comedy theatre, LIT houses over sixty performers who comprise eight unique comedy teams that perform in LIT's shows, which are now anywhere from one to four times a week.  In addition to its shows and annual festival, LIT offers comedy classes for all levels of students, corporate training, and workshops for anyone ready to exercise their funny bones.

 

For its training program, LIT creates and upholds an environment that's positive, inclusive and that develops our community and players.  We believe that anyone can be funny and that the funny can come from anywhere.  Our philosophy is evident in our shows which showcase a variety of players, talent and comedy.  Our classes program offers specialized training for all your comedic needs.  With regard to our own company players' development, we strive to be more than just funny performers -- we're comedians, creatives, artists, teachers, directors.  We go wherever our comedic talents take us.
