Major League Bocce
Major League Bocce began in 2004 when a group of Capitol Hill friends created a social sports league more aligned with their lifestyle—bocce was the perfect fit. What started in DC quickly expanded to multiple cities, beginning with Philadelphia in 2011 and Boston in 2012. Today, the league operates in 11 U.S. cities and registers over 12,000 players annually, making it the largest organized bocce league in the country. The Regular acquired an ownership stake in March 2025 to support its next phase of growth.

United Karaoke
United Karaoke is an international, team-based karaoke league that builds inclusive, supportive communities through performance and friendly competition. Teams sing together and vote for their favorite acts using a mobile scoring system, all leading to the crowning of city champions. The Regular acquired a controlling stake in 2022 and helped lead the brand’s post-COVID recovery.

Capital Trivia
Capital Trivia, founded by seasoned host Nicholas John, brings fast-paced, mobile-powered trivia nights to the DC area. With over five years of experience, hundreds of shows, and 50,000+ questions written, Nick set out to create a more dynamic alternative to generic, paper-based trivia. Capital Trivia uses a mobile device for instant scoring and smooth gameplay. Currently hosting weekly at Astro Lab Brewing in Silver Spring, MD, the team also offers custom virtual shows. The Regular invested in 2024 to support Capital Trivia’s expansion and growth.
