Ever wonder what would happen if Kate McKinnon and Samantha Bee had a child and hired Tim Minchin as the manny? We have the answer! Bringing you politically savvy comedy since 2001, Broad Comedy is a nationally touring, award-winning, all-women musical comedy and sketch troupe that is made up of five irreverent, hilarious, and ridiculously talented women to whom nothing is sacred-except an unflinching and uproarious look at our culture. Just when you need them most, the Broads are here-as Gloria Steinem said about them-to "help you laugh at the bastards." ...Though you might think twice before bringing your conservative mother-in-law!
