George Wallace Brings Laughs, Legacy, & Wisdom to DC Improv

Comedy lovers, get ready! The legendary George Wallace is set to take the stage at the DC Improv this weekend, bringing his signature humor, sharp wit, and decades of experience to the spotlight. During a hilarious interview with Vic Jagger and Huggy Lowdown, the “king of roasting” gave fans a taste of what they can expect when he performs Friday and Saturday.

Wallace, who famously headlined in Las Vegas for 15 years, reflected on his incredible career, joking that not all those years were funny, “but I made the money!” The comedy icon attributes much of his success to legendary performers who came before him, such as Redd Foxx, Sammy Davis Jr., and Lena Horne. “They paved the way,” Wallace emphasized, grateful for their contributions to the world of comedy.

When asked about his impressive Vegas residency, Wallace couldn’t resist cracking jokes about the modern definition of “residency,” poking fun at entertainers who perform just a few shows a year and call it the same. “That’s not a residency; that’s a layover!” he quipped, proving once again why audiences can’t get enough of his unfiltered style.

Wallace also dropped some gems for aspiring comedians, emphasizing the importance of owning your material and staying sharp. However, he was quick to warn about the challenges of doing everything yourself, from marketing to production. “Get someone smarter than you for the business side,” he advised, though he clearly loves having control over his craft.

The conversation turned to the evolving comedy landscape, and Wallace marveled at how social media has changed the game. “When I did The Tonight Show, that’s all you needed,” he said, recounting how one late-night appearance could lead to huge opportunities. Now, young comics create their own platforms and draw millions of followers from their living rooms. Yet, as Wallace put it, “Funny is still funny. That never changes.”

Fans can also expect Wallace’s classic comedic style, poking fun at life’s everyday annoyances and delivering side-splitting roasting sessions that no one can escape—not even Huggy Lowdown or Vic Jagger. If you love laugh-out-loud humor laced with a touch of wisdom and charm, don’t miss George Wallace at the DC Improv. It’s bound to be a weekend of nonstop laughter.

Grab your tickets and, as Wallace hilariously put it, “Bring your ugly ass mama, too!”
