We are delighted to announce Comedy Group Power of Positive Drinking as one of Showrunners For the DC Comedy Festival!

Pete Musto is very silly. Part absurd storyteller, part goofy idiot, he looks at the parts of life people take most seriously and holds a funhouse mirror to them. Musto show audiences that when you look at the world in just the right way, you realize how weird and ridiculous everything really is. He also writes, directs, produces and acts in video sketches with his group “the Ex-Wives Club.” You’ve probably seen Pete at the Arlington Cinema Drafthouse, Drafthouse Comedy Theater, Cozzy’s Comedy Club, Magooby’s Jokehouse, Laughing Skull Lounge, the Creek and the Cave or the Charm City Comedy Festival. If not, that’s on you!

Stand up comedian. Writer. Retired sex symbol. Leon Scott wears many hats atop that curly head of his. Aside from being a glistening beacon of supple beige masculinity, Leon writes jokes for Get Up DC! hosted by Reese Waters on WUSA 9. Leon also co-hosts a series of comedy shows around Washington, DC in addition to the Power of Positive Drinking, including “Attack of the Comics.” Leon’s irreverent humor has been featured on NPR, CNN, the Washington Post, the CW and as a beard model for Hennessy. Leon regularly shares his hilariously off-kilter thoughts onstage in cities across the country.
