DC Comedy Festival: Comedy on The U - Festival Finale

One last show. One final Saturday night. Let's close the festival with a bang.
The 2026 DC Comedy Festival comes to an unforgettable close Saturday, September 12 with the Comedy on The U Festival Finale, the official final showcase of this year's festival.
After four days of live comedy across the DMV, we're bringing together another incredible lineup of comedians from Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia, alongside nationally touring performers and rising talent from around the country.
The Festival Finale is your last opportunity to experience the energy of the 2026 DC Comedy Festival. Every showcase features a different curated lineup, and Saturday's late show is designed to send the festival out the way it started-with a packed room, great comedy and an audience ready to laugh.
Located along Washington's historic U Street Corridor, you'll be surrounded by some of DC's best nightlife, restaurants and entertainment before and after the show.
Whether you've been laughing with us throughout the festival or this is your first show of the weekend, join us for one final night celebrating stand-up comedy in Washington, DC.
