Some stand-ups know how to work a room. “Crowd work” is the art of chatting with the audience when on stage. When done right, it creates a conversational atmosphere — sometimes building a bridge to a comedian’s best jokes, and sometimes leading to totally unscripted, in-the-moment laughs.

Here in the DMV, Tim Miller is one of the best at crowd work. At Read the Room he hosts a lineup of local talents doing predominantly crowd work. Join him in the lounge showroom for what could be a unique, unforgettable live comedy experience.
