SF Sketchfest 20th Anniversary Initial Line Up Has Been Announced!

The first-ever SF Sketchfest happened in 2001. It was a year that would live in infamy for kicking off the greatest comedy festival in the United States and for absolutely nothing else newsworthy happening that year. <insert laugh> Sadly, the 2021 event was not able to happen as planned due to everything being awful.

This is also helpful because that means the festival can drink.

Please note that all attendees, performers, and venue staff *must* show proof of COVID vaccination as per SF Law.
