Judd Apatow

From The Larry Sanders Show to The 40-Year-Old Virgin to Trainwreck, Apatow has been a driving force behind many of the last two decades’ most acclaimed comedies. And while we may never get that Freaks and Geeks reunion, his run at DC Improv is a different sort of revival, as he returns to his first love: standup, which he started doing at age 17 before abandoning it to work behind the camera.
