Rt. 123 Comedy is BACK in The Vault at 7:30PM on April 5, 2025. Secure your spot to see this stellar local lineup featuring Violet Gray, Caitlin McDevitt, Dee Ahmed, and Joey Coon.
VIOLET GRAY | Stand-up comic, unmotivated YouTuber, connoisseur of capsaicin, wearer of purple and roller of critical fails.
CAITLIN MCDEVITT | Caitlin McDevitt is a co-producer of The Living Room Show DC, a 15-time sold-out event featured in the DCist and the Washington Post. She is a regular performer at the D.C. Improv, Hotbed Comedy Club, and the D.C. Comedy Loft. McDevitt has opened for national touring headliners such as Moshe Kasher, Connor Woods, Anna Akana, and Chris Fairbanks. Winner of “Who’s Up Next” at DC Comedy Loft, she also produces a low quality podcast (Swimming in Sweetwater) where she rants about the CW’s Riverdale. Recently seen at Treefort Comedy festival in Idaho in her hometown of Boise, Caitlin is perhaps best known for her ability to show up on time and rehash middle school trauma.
DEE AHMED | Dee Ahmed is a stand-up comedian from Washington, DC, known for his natural goofiness and sharp wit. With a unique comedic voice that is both insightful and hilarious, Dee has become a regular performer at shows across the DC area, from open mic nights at local bars to comedy festivals around the country. Dee’s debut album, “Look at Me,”skyrocketed to number one on iTunes and Amazon Music, even surpassing the legendary Adam Sandler (who knew that was possible?).
JOEY COON | Joey Coon is a DMV-based comedian who’s brought his sharp, playful wit to stages like the D.C. Improv, D.C. Comedy Loft, Magooby’s Joke House, Church of Satire Comedy Club, Don’t Tell Comedy, the National Cannabis Festival, and a host of questionable venues up and down the East Coast. He’s performed alongside Tony Woods & Friends, the Washington Roast, and a lineup of nationally touring headliners.
Known for his sometimes-dark, always-clever comedic style, Joey has a knack for making you laugh while questioning his moral compass—and maybe your own. (Spoiler: he’s still figuring it out, too.) His material dives into life, family, war, and the absurdities of the everyday, all delivered with a twinkle in his eye and a mischievous grin that makes him impossible to resist.
As an Army veteran and father of three young boys, Joey has seen his share of chaos, and he spins it into comedy gold. Whether he’s reflecting on the absurdities of parenting or the darkness he’s encountered, Joey’s humor reminds us that sometimes laughter is the best way to survive.
