Event announcements and follow-ups.
SketchFest starts September 26, but we’re not waiting that long to give you all the comedy you can handle! We’re putting on PreFunc shows building up to the festival proper that showcase our favorite local sketch groups! All PreFunc shows are popping off at The Pocket Theater. Here’s what’s happening…
SketchFest officially runs Friday, September 26 through Saturday, September 27 (and we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you to get your tickets now!), but you don’t have to wait to get your sketch comedy fix!
