"There are more women than men in the DC area, and I think, sometimes, not enough caters to that when it comes to comedy."
"DC is an underrated stand-up comedy scene-for a city this size, there's a lot of comedy going on and a lot of great clubs."
"It's woman-owned and woman-run, so there'll be a feminine touch, but we're not discriminating against men or anything like that."
"When the customer walks in, I want them to feel like, 'Oh my god, this is an exciting night. I'm transformed.'"
Rola Zaarour has launched DC Comedy Club, the only woman-owned comedy club in Washington, D.C. She observed that women often book tickets for comedy shows. Zaarour aims to host diverse comedy events twice a month in a pop-up format. A successful GoFundMe campaign has raised over $2,600 for operating costs. The club will feature both female and male comedians, emphasizing a welcoming ambiance for all attendees. Inspired by 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,' Zaarour seeks to create an exciting atmosphere for her audience.
