Pun DMV: Halloween Edition



Our pun contest plus a punny costume contest

Oct 27, 2026. Starting: 07:30 PM

Come out and wordplay! You're invited to watch or compete in Pun DMV, our pun contest. The night is hosted by Dana Fleitman, and for Halloween we have a special extra event:


The Costume Contest: Come to the show in your best punny costume. (As in, "cereal killer.") The audience's favorite costume will win a cash prize! To participate, buy a "costume contest" ticket. Costume contest tickets are also good for admission.


The Freestyle: Interested in participating in the October 27 Freestyle event? Complete the Google form at this link. Each competitor chooses a punning theme, then prepares in advance a three-minute speech packed with puns inspired by that theme. On the night of the show, the competitors deliver their speeches on stage. The audience favorite wins!


The Tournament: An on-the-spot punning tournament featuring up to 20 people. At the start of each match, contestants are given a theme. They then take turns making up puns on the spot. People are eliminated when they're stumped. The last person standing moves on to the next round (or victory). Anyone in attendance can compete, and you can sign up on site when you arrive.


The winners get cash prizes from the Improv (and eternal glory)!
