Bad Medicine is a high energy sketch comedy troupe with a bent toward the dark, cerebral, and absurd. It's the right amount of stupid fun. We’re a congress of friends from Washington DC doing distinctly non-political humor. We also produce and teach sketch comedy at the historic DC Improv Comedy Club and have performed at Austin Sketch Fest, Sketchfest Seattle, SF Sketchfest, and Philly Sketchfest.

Founded in 2021, Rails Comedy is a rising force in the Washington, D.C. comedy scene with a focus on the power of ensemble comedy. Alongside their dedicated roster of improv and sketch comedy performances, they regularly host workshops throughout the year. Rails Comedy is dedicated to fostering local talent and building comedy around community in the nation’s capital. They are a proud co-founder of DC Sketchfest, the first festival dedicated to sketch comedy in the capital region, which performed to sold out audiences in March 2024. Rails Comedy performers have been featured at renowned festivals across the country and the world, including Montréal Sketchfest (Canada), Edinburgh Festival Fringe (UK), and Capital Fringe (DC).

The DC Arts Center (DCAC) is the only institution in the greater Washington, D.C., area solely dedicated to fostering underrepresented artists in every discipline. We believe that by encouraging artists of all types and all levels to pursue their passion, community transformation is possible. Located in the vibrant Adams Morgan neighborhood in Washington, D.C., DCAC operates a small arts facility that includes two art galleries, a 41-seat black box theater, and office space.

Founded in 1989 as an accessible alternative arts center in response to eroding support for local artists, DCAC has since become a hub of creativity in the visual and performing arts, receiving local, national, and international attention. Artists of all types, including poets, painters, actors, storytellers, sculptors, and performance artists, have been drawn to DCAC from around the corner and around the globe.
