Forget everything you know about medical dramas. The Hospital is a groundbreaking, half-hour improv comedy that takes you behind the curtains of the most chaotic, unaccredited medical center in America. Every week, a roster of the funniest improvisers in the game receives a loose medical scenario and a handful of prompts before they are unleashed, creating a painfully hilarious episode entirely on the spot. There are no scripts, only symptoms; no cure for the laughter that will ensue from the total medical negligence on display.

Watch as Dr. Christopher Powell misdiagnoses a common cold as “spontaneous combustion syndrome” and Nurse Loren Lott tries to pay for a patient’s surgery with TikTok fame. This is a raw, unpredictable, and side-splitting look at what happens when the Hippocratic Oath is replaced by the rule of “yes, and.” The only thing more contagious than the diseases running rampant through the ward is the comedy. Check your dignity at the door—the doctors certainly did.

The Hospital series cast

1. Christopher Powell

Christopher Powell is the gloriously arrogant Chief of Surgery who believes he is the second coming of Doogie Howser but operates with the precision of Dr. Nick from The Simpsons. Powell’s improvisational genius lies in his ability to deliver absurd medical jargon with unwavering, terrifying confidence. Whether he’s prescribing mountain dew for diabetes or attempting brain surgery with a butter knife, his commitment to the bit is both horrifying and hysterical.

Powell serves as the chaotic nucleus of the hospital. His leadership style, which primarily consists of blaming nurses for his own disastrous mistakes and inventing new medical awards to give himself, sets the tone for the entire institution’s descent into madness. He is the reason the legal waivers are ten pages long.

2. Kevin Fredericks

Kevin Fredericks plays the hospital’s beleaguered Administrator, a man who went to business school to avoid people and now must manage the most unpredictable staff imaginable. Fredericks’s comedy is rooted in his slow-burn reactions and deadpan delivery as he tries to apply corporate logic to absolute bedlam, like calculating the ROI on a code blue.

Fredericks is the audience’s anchor of sanity in a sea of insanity. His escalating despair as he reads yet another lawsuit or tries to reason with Dr. Powell provides a masterclass in reactive improv, making him the silent MVP of every scene he’s in.

3. Tony Baker

Tony Baker is the hospital’s head of security, a man who takes his job far too seriously despite the fact his primary duty is stopping families from rescuing their loved ones from this nightmare. Baker uses his legendary storytelling cadence and physicality to turn even the simplest task—like guarding the pudding supply—into an epic, shaggy-dog tale of suspense and intrigue.

Baker’s character is a hilarious paradox: the only sane man in the building, yet completely oblivious to the fact he’s protecting a catastrophe. His improvised monologues about “perimeter breaches” (a lost visitor) are instant classic moments that often grind the already-stalled hospital operations to a complete halt.

4. Loren Lott

Loren Lott is a social media-obsessed nurse who is more concerned with viral fame than vital signs. Lott’s character is a brilliant satire of influencer culture, as she livestreams procedures, tries to get patients to promote her merch, and diagnoses ailments based on TikTok trends. Her ability to pivot any medical crisis into a content opportunity is both terrifying and brilliantly funny.

Lott brings a vibrant, chaotic energy to every scene. Her improvisations are a rapid-fire mix of Gen-Z slang and medical incompetence, creating a character that is utterly reprehensible yet impossible to look away from. She’s the reason the hospital has a trending hashtag but also a one-star Yelp rating.

5. Dinora Walcott

Dinora Walcott is the ancient, utterly bewildered head of the board of directors who somehow still believes this is a prestigious institution. Walcott’s comedy comes from her profound disconnect from reality, as she wanders the halls bestowing outdated advice and confusing the X-ray machine for a newfangled coffee maker.

Walcott is the living embodiment of institutional failure. Her improvised, mothball-scented ramblings about “how things were done in her day” (leeching, mostly) add a layer of surreal, historical nonsense to the modern-day chaos, making her scenes uniquely unhinged.

6. Jazmine Robinson

Jazmine Robinson is a fiercely competitive and unqualified intern who faked her entire resume. Robinson’s character is a whirlwind of ambition and ignorance, confidently performing surgeries she watched on YouTube and challenging senior doctors to medical duels. Her improvisational style is all high-energy, unearned confidence.

Robinson’s interactions with the equally egotistical Dr. Powell are comedic gold. Their battles over who is the bigger medical fraud often take precedence over patient care, resulting in some of the show’s most cringe-worthy and hilarious moments of neglect.

7. Candice Renee

Candice Renee is the hospital’s spiritual wellness counselor who believes every ailment, from a broken leg to stage-four cancer, can be cured with crystals, positive affirmations, and a strict juice cleanse. Renee brings a serene, blissed-out energy that is completely at odds with the surrounding malpractice, making her the perfect comedic foil.

Renee’s improvisations are a delightful mix of new-age nonsense and utter disregard for medical science. Her passive-aggressive vibe sessions with the stressed-out Administrator are a highlight, offering a perfectly calm and completely unhelpful alternative to every problem.

8. D’Lai

D’Lai is the easily distracted anesthesiologist who is always on the verge of falling asleep or ordering food in the middle of an operation. His low-energy, surreal non sequiturs and bizarre anecdotes provide a strange, slow-paced contrast to the high-energy panic around him.

D’Lai’s character is a masterclass in off-kilter improv. His ability to derail a life-or-death situation by wondering aloud about the mating habits of lobsters creates a unique comedic tension that leaves both the cast and the audience in stitches.

9. Jordan Conley

Jordan Conley is the hospital’s legal counsel, a man who is constantly on-site because the lawsuits are literally non-stop. Conley’s character is in a perpetual state of frantic damage control, sprinting from room to room with a stack of NDAs and a scream stuck in his throat. His improv is a torrent of panicked legalese and desperate pleas.

Conley is the human manifestation of the show’s consequences. His interactions are less about medicine and more about mitigating the endless liability, providing a hilarious running gag about the legal apocalypse that follows in the wake of the doctors’ “care.”
