In this brand-new hour of sketch comedy, Bad Medicine takes aim at the people, institutions, and ideas that have become larger than life. From political landmarks and crumbling infrastructure to cultural icons and everyday institutions that somehow refuse to die, nothing is too sacred or too structurally unsound.
Come celebrate the grandeur, question the legacy, and laugh at the potholes beneath it all. Bad Medicine is building A Monument to Comedy and unlike most projects in the District, this one might actually be finished on time.

NOTE: All plantings&nbsp;and transplantings
 must be approved by the Garden Committee. The Garden Committee approval
 is important to make sure the plants that get chosen are great for 
nature, located properly for the right amount of sun or shade, don’t 
conflict with other plants or facility needs, and fit into the overall 
garden plan with maintenance in mind.<svg class="tribe-common-c-svgicon tribe-common-c-svgicon--cal-export tribe-events-c-subscribe-dropdown__export-icon" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 23 17" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
