Improv · Headgum
by Headgum
Five longtime friends and Chicago improvisers combine the best parts of two disparate worlds: sitcoms and Dungeons & Dragons. Follow a halfling bard, a half-orc warrior, a druid bar owner, and an elven princess as they struggle to keep the lights on at their tavern and inn, Bottoms Up. Unlike most D&D podcasts, each episode is self-contained, so drop in wherever just like your favorite sitcoms! Starring Erin Keif, Waleed Mansour, Elizabeth Andrews, Sean Coyle, and Ben Briggs.

Sitcom D&D is an improv comedy podcast that uses D&D inspired rules/world building with a sitcom format. Or something like that. Idk all the fancy terms. What I do know is that it is hilarious from start to finish. And just like a great sitcom, it is one of my top comfort listens I come back to again and again. So come belly up to Bottom’s Up bar, grab a piss beer or two, and bask in the gang rollin’ DIIIIIIICE!
Just like any sitcom the first two seasons are rocky. They are figuring things out, fleshing out their characters, etc. I recommend starting with Season 3! You can pick it up easily there and there is a huge difference in quality.
My adventuring party and I were in town overnight en route to a beholder’s lair when we stopped for a drink in this hole forsaken by the gods. Against my better judgement I drank some of what they had The bar owner, making extremely aggressive eye contact as I drank it off—I can only imagine this was to intimidate me into finishing the whole tankard—told me it was an exclusive craft ale. It was not. It was only after I had drained an entire tankard of the most pungent, sour liquid I have ever had the misfortune of imbibing (and as an adventurer I’ve taken acid to the mouth in combat,) that a little halfling popped his head out of the keg and loudly exclaimed, “Seb! How many times do I have to tell you that you can’t hide my sandwich in the piss barrel?! You know it gets soggy!” He then proceeded to climb out completely nude, go up to the stage, and play an entire thirty minute trumpet solo with his thoroughly unwashed anus. No matter what any of our party members did to save ourselves, it wouldn’t stop. I begged my goddess for death but she would not answer. But I must give credit where credit is due. The next day, we all laughed at the beholder and killed it faster than we’ve ever killed another monster of comparable power. I almost felt sorry for it in the end, because it really seemed quite a pathetic creature when just the night before we saw (and tasted) the very bowels of the Abyss and somehow survived. Four stars. Not five, as one of my companions took massive psychic damage from the halfling’s performance and has not been able to face a moment of sobriety since. —Aidene Siannodel, Oath of Devotion paladin.

This show is for you. Fans of tabletop rpg storytelling will love the ingenuity of fitting gameplay into sitcom tropes. But really it’s the great improvisers and their friendships that make this a comfort listen. Love it and the patreon listens. Shout out to the kitchen raaaaats!
