Grandma Got Roaches: A Comedy Stage Play

Grandma Got Roaches is a DC-area comedy stage play about a family brought together after Grandma’s death. As the relatives prepare to sell her house, buried secrets, sibling competition, unpaid bills, and a roach infestation turn the gathering into chaotic family drama. Presented by Act & Laugh Foundation, Inc., the production blends comedy, live theater, outrageous characters, and unexpected surprises.

The evening also includes a brief stand-up comedy set before the play. Afterward, audience members can meet the cast, take photos, and interact with the performers in the theater hallway.
