Lena Dunham: Your Black Friend featuring Madeline and Nox!

Lena Dunham: Your Black Friend The black members from their own improv troupes join forces and transform your conversations with your Black friends into art.

Madeline begins her performances with a tailored, interactive moment with you, the audience, and ascends to a higher place of laughter—complete with the manic-moxie of a first date, the flirtiness of a spontaneous 1:1 with your work crush, and the worthiness of a life filled with love. Whether you’re looking for naughty, nice, or niche, you’ll be spellbound by one of her shows—which have been called “fun,” “hilarious,” “a tad horny for my taste,” and “completely inappropriate for people who aren’t fun.”

Nox! uses one event — such as a wedding, a book launch, or a carnival — to inspire a round of hilarious scenes. Each show has a broad swath of scene types, ranging from SNL-style skits to Adult Swim-style absurdity. As one of the longest-running troupes in DC, Nox! is a close-knit team that thrives on high-energy, memorable characters, and playing with both real and imagined worlds.
