Baggage Claim
We specialize in unpacking your emotional baggage in front of a live audience.
Broken Bones
The Broken Bones presents ‘Injury Into Comedy’. We’ve all been hurt, perhaps by a hidden patch of ice, a sick collision while scoring the winning goal, or a very public breakup at your 28th birthday party. The Broken Bones will interview an audience member about an injury—be it physical, emotional, or other—and we will all heal together through comedy. The cast has some of DC’s funniest improvisers who have been featured by Comedy Central, The Washington Post, NPR, as well as comedy festivals around the US and Europe.
The Hypothesis
The Hypothesis combines science and improv to both inform and delight audiences. The team consists of scientists and science enthusiasts with diverse science backgrounds — ranging from neuroscience to ecology, from climatology to psychology, and everything in between.
The Hypothesis format consists of the audience asking the performers a question (ex: How does memory work? Why is the sky blue? What happens in a black hole? Can you terraform Mars?), and players with the knowledge then attempt to answer it. The Hypothesis has also welcomed special guest scientists to talk about their area of expertise in a short presentation to inspire the show. So come prepared with that one burning science question you always wanted answered. Or simply get ready to have your mind blown, and funny bone tickled as the Hypothesis takes you on a scientific comedy journey you never thought possible.
