Taxi Cab

Taxi Cab Comedy brings their unique blend of irreverent but relatable “Taxi Cab Comedy” is an NYC based sketch comedy team that puts on sketch comedy shows inspired by a single location. In “Taxi Cab Comedy Takes You to the Hospital”, all sketches are set in a hospital.
Hospitals are a sacred place where lives are saved and lost, a place where underslept residents make inappropriate remarks to underpaid nurses, where Dr. Houses and McSteamies alike roam free, and where you cry in the waiting room while on hold with your insurance company. You'll see it all onstage at Caveat, but we suggest you take the subway to get there. It's much cheaper than an ambulance.

Trigger Warnings: gun violence, surgery, drug use, gore

Marina Mulholland: Marina Mulholland began her comedy journey right here in Taxi Cab Comedy! She says she did stand up when she first moved to NYC in 2019 but there’s no evidence of that ever happening so you’ll just have to believe her. She was scouted by the founder for “being the funniest person he’s ever met”. Marina both performs and writes for Taxi Cab Comedy and can be found all around the city yucking it up with friends and foes.
