About D.C. Famous Presents
The Story of D.C. Famous
Hi, I'm D.C. Briggs, better known on stage as "D.C. Slim", and I founded this the hilarious company.
So, you want to know how D.C. Famous Presents came to be? Cool, I'll tell ya. It all started when I found myself having to produce a show because another comedian declined the offer. This fool claimed he didn't have enough time. Can you believe that? Anyway, being the D.C. boy that I am, I saw an opportunity to not only make my own stage time but to also try my hand at producing a show.
I assembled some friends that are fellow comics and produced my first show. That was at Rocky Bottom @ The Y in Garrison (Shout out to Karen for giving me a shot). After that first show I was offered another. Soon more shows came and I realized that I was spending my own money to make each show better than the last. What started as just one mic and a group of professional funny people, morphed into a full on production.
With the money I was putting in I had no legal way to write off the expenses. At that time I had a real job. So, in my mind, it only made sense to create Carlyle Creative Enterprises, LLC (parent company to D.C. Famous Presents). Initially I started the company to have a way to get write offs for my show expenses. Mission accomplished!
I'll be damned if I didn't find my calling. The universe had broader plans for this than I expected. D.C. Famous Presents has since produced well over a dozen live comedy shows on it's own and close to 10 in co-production with others.
I'll admit that I had no real mission when I founded the company but on this journey I have come to realize that I can use this endeavor to bring comedy to the people that never have comedy come to them. I take live stand up comedy to senior living facilities, outdoor events, indoor gatherings, and much more.
See, I came to view comedy as not only a product to be sold, but also a highly malleable one. Comedy is almost infinity more than just stand up. Comedy is entertainment. Comedy is the one form of entertainment that sets out to achieve one core goal.
That goal? Simply to provoke and innately involuntary response that every single human being on this planet has in common; laughter. You can't help hat you find funny. Sometimes you be a little embarrassed that you did, but still you can't control what makes you laugh.
I believe that's because laughter is a function of the soul. It's just like gospel music or a slick hip hop beat that you can help but to involuntarily nod your head to.
Now, I can take comedy to small towns, with comics that are from backgrounds unlike most of them have seen up close, and to venues that nobody ever thought could be one; thanks to D.C. Famous.
So, let's laugh together. You name the time, and the place. D.C Famous Presents will take care of the rest.

The D.C. Famous Approach
When it comes to comedy show production D.C. Famous Presents ain't no joke. I'm D.C. "Slim" Briggs and I created this company so that I can bring the comedy to the people. Live comedy promoters have long expected audiences to come to them and that's left so many people out that want to laugh too. There's no reason anybody that wants to feed their spirit with the medicine of laughter should have to not only by the ticket(s) but also have to drive a couple hours, book a hotel, and make a whole trip to see comedy when it can just be as simple as a night out.
This is why I not only bring the comedy to you, I am always working to make each show better than the last one. I curate my line ups so that audiences can enjoy a show one night and see another D.C. Famous show again knowing that it'll be a completely different show.
Plus, D.C. Famous Presents is set up to produce shows at any type of venue. It doesn't matter if it's a live music club or a small town bar; I'm ready to deliver an entertainment experience that will set a standard for what you should expect from live comedy. Often times our audiences are full of folks that have only experienced live comedy through the apparatuses of Netflix, Hulu, or Tubi. This is why my hilarious associates and I graciously accept the honor of giving you a moment to laugh until you accidentally fart.
The D.C. Famous Roster / Services
What's that you said? Who are the comedians I work with? Come on Slim! D.C Famous Presents does not maintain a standard roster of talent. Why? Because there's a vast network of professional jesters that appear on my stage. What I will say is that all of my hilarious associates are comedy pros and have proven they can rock any crowd at any type of venue or format. I always say comedy is the most malleable produce ever and funny comes in many forms. One thing I can hang the D.C. Famous hat on is I can produce a show to fit any budget, any format, and any audience. That's because comedy is the season salt of performance. I put that sh*t on everything.
