Live comedy is coming back to the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton.
After taking a hiatus due to the pandemic, Comedian Rahmein Mostafavi is bringing back live shows to the region. Mostafavi is no stranger to the Workhouse, as he first brought live comedy shows to both the Workhouse, and to the Old Silk Mill in Fredericksburg in 2021.
As we reported back then, Mostafavi’s first show at the Workhouse occurred under the brand “Cool Cow Comedy,” on the same night as the infamous derecho storm of 2012, which knocked out power to thousands in our region for days.
As for his upcoming shows, the Workhouse writes:

The Manassas City Council voted unanimously on Monday, January 13, 2024, to purchase a 1.56-acre property in Downtown Manassas from the Manassas Ice and Fuel Company (MIFCO). The $3.1 million acquisition is part of the city’s ongoing strategy to control downtown development and foster community-focused growth.
The newly purchased property, which includes multiple parcels on Center Street, is zoned for industrial use (I-2), allowing developments up to 75 feet in height. City officials highlighted the importance of acquiring the land to guide its future use and prevent projects that may not align with the downtown’s character.
“This purchase ensures that we, as a city, can decide what happens on this key piece of land,” said Vice Mayor Wolfe. “Without this step, the property could have been developed by-right into something like a storage facility or data center, which may not align with our downtown vision.”
