With millions of views on Youtube, as well as one of the weirdest Adult Swim video’s I’ve ever seen, I’m pretty excited to see Baltimore-based collective Wham City Comedy do their thing at Black Iris Gallery this weekend.
Avid AS fans might recall the group’s name for their 2014 video “Unedited Footage of a Bear,” which features less bear-footage and more terror inducing info regarding a dangerous prescription med that seems to lead folks on a nightmare-fueled hallucination. Check it out below:

Made up of Ben O’Brien, Alan Resnick and Robby Rackleff, Wham City Comedy is a comedy & video collective based in Baltimore known for their bizarre viral videos and absurdist presentational performances. They never repeat material so they only tour once a year – don’t miss your chance!
Black Iris is located at 321 W. Broad – you can snag tickets early at Steady Sounds or at the door for $10.
