As we revel in a well-deserved break (i.e. sleeping during the night as opposed to at work) the staff at SketchFest is gearing up to bring not only an exponentially more amazing festival for 2013, but also doing our best to implement new programs, tools and educational opportunities throughout the…
In our first ever online chat interview, we were lucky enough to learn more about the crazy kids behind Drop the Root Beer and Run; one of the Seattle’s hardest working up-and-coming sketch groups to hit the scene. No matter how many cliche questions we asked, they kept at it…
We’re super stoked to be involved with another awesome festival this weekend, Arts Crush! Make your way to the Fisher Pavilion at Seattle Center on September 23rd to give us a wave, high-five or one of those pretty smiles you do oh-so-well while we tend to our table at…
While the word ‘titillated’ is a tad on the 50 Shades of Angst-Ridden Housewife side, there’s no better word for that tingly feeling we get when Charles presents Seattle with a brand-spanking new offering of comedic genius. Want to sweeten the deal? The boys from Stanford are pairing up…
You’re welcome for sparing you the obvious “Bump into you at Bumbershoot” reference. Let’s move on… Guess what?! SketchFest will be at the Theater Stage (Armory/Center House Stage) on Sunday September 2nd from 3:45-5 pm and if you’re not there during that time, well then you probably should be! If you…
We had the chance to catch up with Courtney Kocak and Jesse Case; the abnormally hilarious comedic geniuses behind the web sketch series NORMAL as they shared with us their thoughts on sketch comedy, Seattle’s incomparable coffee scene and Courtney’s lady parts. Alright, let’s not beat around the brass tacks. How’d you…
Our extremely talented neighbors to the north (and a bit east) are accepting submissions to Toronto SketchFest! You only have until JULY 27th TO APPLY! What’s stopping you? Get up and over there to represent the Seattle sketch scene. Frankly the CN Towner should make you guys feel right at…
An amazing and wonderful thing has happened! After much deliberation (and some semi-ethical bribery) the powers that be have granted an extension to the application deadline for SketchFest Seattle 2012! FINAL date for applications is now June 13th at Midnight which means you have an entire month to get your…
I had the extreme pleasure of asking the comedy duo Charles (Charlie Stockman and Chuck Armstrong) a few questions about their experience in the world of sketch comedy. These were their responses, in all their glory: I have to ask, when and how did your love of all things funny…
Can you believe it!? They started Friday night having not even met, and by Sunday they put on an awesome full-length sketch show! But, like a solar eclipse, the big bang, or a rabid bear having high tea with a twelve foot tall anthropomorphic rubik’s cube, this is an event that can…
