For Mature Audiences - The Blue Show
I recall my father occasionally talking about some of the “blue” comedians and comics he worked with in the 1950s and 60s. When he mentioned “blue”, I knew that meant “not for kids”. While the standards of what is “blue” may have changed in the last 50 years, there’s still lots of materials that’s not for kids, but still damn funny.
Take a fast-paced improve team, a rambunctious audience that’s encouraged to yell out suggestions and create a rambling story, songs and skits, complete with audience voting and a referee to keep things moving along and you get…

Their non-blue Comedy Sportz show can be pretty funny too, and afterwards, if you want some real sports, you can go iceskating on the enclosed roof of Ballston Mall at the Iceplex, where the Washington Capitals practice: http://www.kettlercapitalsiceplex.com/
