Scrubbish! An Improvised Hospital Sitcom

Nurse! We need 60 minutes of unscripted comedy, STAT!

Join Cambridge Improv Factory for a completely improvised medical caper. Watch as our intrepid team of doctors (not real doctors), nurses (not real nurses), and that one weird guy who keeps ‘falling onto things’ (no comment) navigate the demands of life, medicine, and inadvisable workplace romance - based entirely on your suggestions!

Though our diagnoses may be dubious and our bedside manner bizarre, we guarantee to have you laughing until your sides ache*. Note that no real patients will be harmed in the making of this show - although our performers' dignity might need intensive care.

Recommended dose: One visit to the Corpus Playroom. If symptoms persist, please return for another show – we promise it'll be totally different!

*(one of many medical ailments the cast will be wholly unqualified to help with)

This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
