Hello Everyone,

First, we truly want to thank you for all the support you’ve shown us while helping build a real comedy community in Columbia. Every ticket purchased, every laugh shared, and every time you’ve come out to a show has helped us grow something special.

We’re excited to announce that we have officially opened our very own comedy club venue just up the road from our Busboys and Poets Columbia home — the new Timbuktu Comedy Club! 🎤🔥

As we focus on launching and building this new venue, our regular 3rd Wednesday Comedy Club Takeover shows at Busboys and Poets Columbia will temporarily move to the new location.

📍 Beginning with the May 20th show, performances will take place at:
Timbuktu Comedy Club

We absolutely love our partnership with Busboys and Poets and plan to periodically return when time permits, but for now we’re putting our full energy into growing this new comedy space and creating even bigger experiences for everyone.

We hope this doesn’t cause too much disruption and truly hope to see you at the new venue. Your continued support means everything to us, and we’re excited for this next chapter together.

Thank you again for believing in us and helping make live comedy thrive in the DMV.
