If you want to compete, complete the form at this link to let us know. The Make Up Party is back for 2026, and this time around we're challenging the funny people of the DMV to come up with five minutes of comedy on the theme of EXERCISE. For just $6, you can watch comedy teams work up a sweat, as they try to generate enough laughs to count as an ab workout. The best teams go home with a cash prize. The Make Up Party is the DC Improv's game night, and this event is open to stand-ups, sketch troupes, improv teams or whatever. Maximum team size is 6. Be advised that all competitors (once participation is confirmed by the Improv) need to have tickets.
