Bad Medicine

Bad Medicine is a new, high-energy sketch comedy show about Washington, D.C.’s outsized monuments, political landmarks, institutions, cultural icons, infrastructure, and everyday absurdities. The hour-long performance combines dark, cerebral humor with deliberately silly and surreal comedy, turning the city’s grandeur, questionable legacy, and potholes into material.

The Bad Medicine troupe describes the show as a lively comedy spectacle performed by a group of DC-based friends. The performers have appeared at DC Improv and comedy festivals including Toronto Sketchfest, SF Sketchfest, and Philly Sketchfest, and they also teach sketch comedy.
