Medical Melodies: comedic songs about healthcare

Whether as patients or providers, everyone’s in need of some medicinal laughter, and they’ll get a healthy dose of it at a performance of “Medical Melodies.”

Inspired by Alan Sherman and "Weird Al" Yankovic, H.R. Britton takes songs like Paul Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” and turns them into songs like “50 Ways to Love Your Liver.” Or, he takes John Lennon’s “Imagine” and turns it into a silly ode to x-rays and MRI’s: “Imaging.”

For over thirty years, H.R. Britton has been an actor, musician, comedic storyteller, and a host of variety shows. He has appeared in independent films, acted onstage in the Midwest and the East Coast, and toured his solo shows internationally.

It is his career in healthcare reception that inspired all these comic songs. "It’s fun to get nurses, receptionists, doctors, and lab techs chuckling," says Britton. "Working in healthcare’s not a walk in the park. Every laugh helps.”

Tickets are free. $10 suggested donation at the door or at the show.

Half of net proceeds will be given to the Nurses’ Union, SEIU Wisconsin.
