Nobody called HR. We just made fun of it. That's this show. Watch the full clip here


About the Work Sucks Show — DC Comedy You Can Actually Afford. Ages: 21+ (it’s a bar, folks)


Work Sucks” is a live comedy show where local stand-ups riff on your real-life work stories. Audience members share their worst job stories—and stand-up comics turn them into on-the-spot material.


We’ve heard it all: explosive firings, deranged customers, horrifying managers, emotional breakdowns in walk-in freezers. If it happened on the clock, it belongs on stage.


Audience reactions range from: “I needed this” to “I’ll never eat from a break room freezer again.”**


2-for-1 Early Bird Tickets (thru August 10) Bring a friend. Trauma is funnier in pairs.


Tickets & 2-for-1 Early Bird Deal: 2 tickets for $10 (until August 10th). Save cash and bring someone who hates their job too.


This lineup is curated by Adams Bomb Comedy, creators of the podcast “Laughing Historically” and the vira.


TICKET SALES ARE FINAL - NO REFUNDS (we do provide credit for future shows)
