| It's the final countdown to DC Comedyfest. Starting this Thursday, August 7, you can enjoy the entertainment of some of the best local and national comedians around!
DC Vote is a sponsor of the DC Comedyfest, August 7-9, at various venues across the District. We're even on the "Politics is Funny" panel on Saturday, August 9, at 3 PM at Town Dance Boutique. Moderated by Politico, the panel features such all-stars as: the co-creator of the Daily Show, writers for the Colbert Report and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno,and DC Vote's own "Senior Humorist," Jaline Quinto. Yeah, we know what you're thinking. How did those non-DC Vote people weasel their way onto the panel?! We also know that at DC Vote we ask a lot of you, our lovely supporters - and, this time is no exception! But, in return, you get some free VIP passes to the DC Comedyfest. FREE! As in, no cost to you. Here's the deal: you get a VIP pass that admits two people to ANY show during the DC Comedyfest and, in exchange, you agree to hand out some DC Vote swag to your fellow audience members. Interested?
