“Laughter is the best medicine.” Capital One agrees! Capital One’s sponsorship of the District of Comedy Festival comes as part of Capital One’s commitment to Comedy at The Kennedy Center, a signature program focused on elevating comedy as an art form and uniting the local community together through laughter. This summer is going to be a RIOT.
RIOT!: A Celebration of Women in Comedy will salute our comedy icons while giving today’s stars a national platform to embrace creative risk and emphasize the female perspective in our rapidly evolving culture. The star-studded celebration will feature stand-up comedians, writers, actresses, sketch performers, artists, and community leaders—sharing the stage in a show of unity and strength at the nation’s premier performing arts center.
As Washington’s hometown bank, Capital One’s partnership with The Kennedy Center is an important extension of their engagement with the DC community. Their hope is to continue fostering advancement of comedy to spur important conversations and further understanding of the societal issues that communities across the nation face on a daily basis. Capital One cardholders can save 50% off the standard ticket price for RIOT! when they pay with their Capital One card online. For further details on this exclusive offer click here.
