“Dear PoPville,
I’m an organizer and co-host of a special charity comedy event, Jokes, Japes, and Jests, that will take place in Brookland at Smith Public Trust this Wednesday night (12/12).
The show is a benefit for Words, Beats, Life — a local non-profit that sponsors a variety of arts initiatives for young people here in DC. This comedy show will also include live music and feature a handful of standup comics from here in DC. The $10 cover is a donation to Words, Beats, Life.
I’ve been thinking a lot about ways to harness the comedy community, and the performance arts scene generally, to support greater opportunities for young people here in the District to explore their artistic and creative talents. This event is an effort to do just that.”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
