The Time Machine Roast at Dupont Underground
A (totally real and functioning) time machine has gone haywire, and famous people throughout history are being transported through time to the Dupont Underground. What happens when historical figures share a stage? They burn each other with hilarious jokes, just like the roasts you’ve seen on TV. Watch some of DC’s favorite local comics get into character (and costume) to play the roles of history’s most famous figures — from musicians and scientists to emperors and warlords — and roast each other right in front of you.
