Comedy NOVA is a project cultivating a close-knit comedy community in Northern Virginia by providing unique performance opportunities to independent comedians and troupes in NoVa and the broader DMV.

Papa’s Basement
Started as an over-the-air, public access radio show in the early aughts, Papa’s Basement was around even before podcasts were a “thing”. Tune into John Papageorgiou and cast of comedic pals once a week as they muse on life, love, and locksmithing in the good ole DMV.
Douchebag Humblebrag
Douchebag Humblebrag (or DBHB, when amongst more g-rated temperaments) is a DC-area improv comedy troupe and collective that hosts our Improv Jamwich. The last troupe to form out of the Unified Scene Theater, most of its members are part of various other groups and solo projects, including Papa’s Basement and Inside Your Head.
Partners
Armed Services Arts Partnership (ASAP)
ASAP’s mission is to cultivate community and growth with veterans, service members, military families, and caregivers through the arts. A number of the comedians who’ve worked with Comedy NOVA are graduates of this incredible program, and we’re excited to work with them!
