Sketch Instructors: Bad Medicine

The Bad Medicine Show is a high-energy sketch comedy spectacle that’s equal parts dark, cerebral, and delightfully absurd. It’s the perfect blend of smart and stupid fun from a merry band of DC friends who dive headfirst into the ridiculous. When we're not cracking up audiences at the legendary DC Improv Comedy Club, we’re hitting the road, bringing the laughs to comedy festivals like Toronto Sketchfest, SF Sketchfest, and Philly Sketchfest. Oh, and we don’t just perform, we teach the fine art of sketch comedy too.
