After a two-month run at the Acme Comedy Theater in West Hollywood, and a nomination for the White House Project Emerging Artist Award, the Broads just finished a month in Scotland with their Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut, where they were a "Top-Ten Sketch Comedy Pick" (FringeReview). Winner of The Vancouver Fringe Festival, this troupe of Broads performs a high-energy, musical satire and sketch comedy show, tackling the right wing, abstinence-only education, soccer moms, various anatomical shenanigans, and things you should never discuss with your mother-in-law.  The lovechild of Co-Authors and Co-Directors Katie Goodman and Soren Kisiel, Broad Comedy has been a smash hit performing to sold-out audiences in Boston's 440-seat Stuart Street Playhouse, New York's #1 comedy club Caroline's On Broadway, and to rave reviews in Los Angeles.
