Happy New Year

A happy 2012 to all the people who visit and support DC Standup. We're just one year away from the magical 10th anniversary. Won't that be grand.

My apologies for the slow pace of updates over the last few months, but as you may have guessed, the vast balance of my wealth is not derived from this web site. I've been busy bushwhacking another (also amusing) career path, but now that I'm past the first few months, regular site updates should resume. If you have anything you want to let me know about this year, just e-mail chris@dcstandup.com with the information.

There is no charge to get shows listed on the site. All I ask is that you notify me when a listing becomes out of date. It's no fun to play detective, or to get e-mails from people who showed up at an open mic that closed five years ago.

Thanks, and have a great 2012!

Chris
