The Physician of Oz
Malignant Humours / St George's Medics' Revue • Student/Youth company
About the show
The Physician of Oz is a medical comedy sketch show from Malignant Humours and St George's Medics' Revue, performed at the Fleming Theatre during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The student and youth company takes their unique sketch comedy style on a trip down the yellow brick road — this time through the lens of healthcare. The cast of healthcare students promises emergency laughter procedures, wickedly funny scenes and magically absurd moments, no brain, heart or courage required.
Why see this show?
Medical students doing sketch comedy in the shape of a Wizard of Oz parody — there is a specific kind of Fringe joy in that combination. Malignant Humours bring genuine energy and a healthcare insider's eye to the absurdity.
