21 and Over Venue-All Sales Are FinalThe Arlington Cinema 'N' Drafthouse is a unique combination of a full restaurant located inside a theater. Customers enjoy a full restaurant/bar menu and table side service while sitting in oversized comfortable chairs.  The “Drafthouse” replaced the Arlington Theater or “Old Arlington” as it was affectionately known in 1985. The building itself is over 70 years old.  The Theater has had a rich history of entertaining DC Area residents with great movies. If you look back over the last 50+ years and picked your most favorite movies, it is likely they have been featured here.  The Theater also has a rich history of live entertainment. In fact, tucked behind the large movie screen is the original theater stage equipped with lighting, storage and a green room.  The theater is now currently owned and operated by a local family, looking to continue the historic traditions of “Old Arlington” and the “Drafthouse”. We plan to cultivate and improve the Drafthouse experience.It is also with great excitement that the owners of the Arlington Drafthouse opened up a unique arts theater dedicated to comedy arts in April of 2016 in Washington DC. called "Drafthouse Comedy".We look forward to serving the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia community with an alternative to the standard comedy club.*We are 21 and over unless with a parent BEFORE 9PM.  After 9PM we are 21 and above only

Described by Jay Leno as "the best joke writer in America" and by British comedian Gary Delaney as the best joke writer in the world.

(I beg your kind indulgence to switch to third-person omniscient)Described by Jay Leno as "the best joke writer in America" and by British comedian Gary Delaney as the best joke writer in the world, Emo Philips has performed over seven thousand stand-up shows in comedy clubs, colleges and theaters, including a multi-week run at the Playhouse Theatre in London's West End. In 2018 &amp; 2022-23, Emo toured with "Weird Al" Yankovic (over two hundred concerts across three continents); Emo will forever remember the standing ovation he received at Carnegie Hall.Emo has released comedy albums on the renowned Epic label; has had numerous cable specials (including an hour-long one on HBO); has performed stand-up many, many times on network television in America, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and the UK; has appeared in films (most notably as the table-saw demonstrator in UHF and as Salvador Dali in Weird: the "Weird Al" Yankovic Story); has lent his distinctive voice to audio books (including a 2023 collection of poems by Bob Odenkirk) and to animated TV shows (such as Slacker Cats, Doctor Katz, Adventure Time and Home Movies); and (which would've blown ten-year-old Emo's mind) has even been published in Mad Magazine; but his first love, stand-up, remains his true one.
