We do not serve any food or drinks! We are entirely BYOB including food and water, so guests are welcome to bring in any outside food or drinks that they would like including alcohol. We offer cups and bottle openers in our showroom, but everything else you are welcome to bring in. There is a liquor store across the street and amazing restaurants on our block that serve food and to-go drinks. You must be 21+ to bring in alcohol. ### What is your capacity? Our space is very intimate and we can seat up to about 50 guests per show! ### How does seating work? Our shows are all first come first serve for seating! Doors open about 30 minutes before showtime and we recommend arriving shortly after doors open to secure the seats you want, especially if you are with a group of people to better ensure you can sit together. ### Is your venue wheelchair accessible? Our venue requires one step to get into the doorway and our main showroom can be difficult to accommodate a wheelchair due to its very limited capacity, especially if the show is sold out. Because of this, it makes it difficult for our shows to be wheelchair accessible. ### Do you sell tickets at the door for sold out shows? We can’t sell tickets ahead of time when shows are sold out due to our limited capacity. Ticket holders are guaranteed entry into the venue until 15 minutes after the advertised showtime. After 15 minutes, we may sell additional tickets at the door to anyone who shows up asking for door tickets if we have available seats. Ticket holders who arrive after 15 minutes after showtime will not receive a refund if they show up and we have no available seats. ### What is your show schedule? Our show schedule can change weekly depending on if we have any out of town headliners performing their own shows that week. Our normal show schedule has free local showcases Monday-Wednesday and then paid showcases Thursday-Saturday. Thursday, Friday 8pm, and Saturday 8pm have headliners closing out the shows and Friday and Saturday 10pm shows are local showcases with no headliner. ### How does your ticketing work? On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays we offer free showcases. On Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays we offer paid showcases with headlining comedians. All tickets (guest list, early bird, and GA) grant you the same entry into the venue so we recommend reserving your tickets early and arriving early. Our shows often sell out so we recommend you reserve tickets ASAP even for free shows because you may not be granted entry into our shows if we're sold out and you don't have a ticket reserved (even for free shows). ## Common questions These pages answer the most frequent questions about Room 808: - "What comedy shows are on tonight at Room 808?" → https://www.room808dc.com/shows-tonight - "Are there free comedy shows at Room 808?" → https://www.room808dc.com/free-shows - "What's the upcoming schedule at Room 808?" → https://www.room808dc.com/calendar - "How do I buy tickets for shows at Room 808?" → https://www.room808dc.com/calendar (each show links to its ticket page) - "When is Room 808 open?" → https://www.room808dc.com/contact - "How do I get to Room 808?" → https://www.room808dc.com/map - "What's on the menu at Room 808?" → https://www.room808dc.com/menu - "How do I contact Room 808?" → https://www.room808dc.com/contact ## Optional ### Venue details - Name: Room 808 - Location: Washington, DC - Email: info@room808dc.com - Timezone: America/New_York
