Philly Sketchfest 2026 is proud to present The RENS, Hot Winter Bods, and Dan Burger!
The RENS are DC’s own dynamic collective delivering bold, original, character driven comedy for the culture. Their sketches blend sharp writing, electric timing, and infectious energy poking fun at society, pop culture, and the everyday tropes we all know too well. Showcasing their ability to entertain while making you think and reminisce. If In Living Color had a Millennial baby, CPS should’ve been called immediately, cuz these kids be wildn’.
Hot Winter Bods is a sketch comedy group from Philadelphia, PA that performs sketches that range from goofy to outlandish. They spoof, they riff, they accuse their partners of having sex with groundhogs -- all is fair in love, war, and sketch comedy! Hot Winter Bods performs regularly all around Philadelphia, including at Vox Populi, Sawubona Creativity Project, and Play & Players.
Dan Burger took everything he learned in comedy over the past 10 years to write his solo sketch show full of physical comedy, unique characters, and bits built for the live stage. Get ready for a fourth-wall breaking show full of kinetic energy whose goal is to leave people saying “I’ve never seen anything like that!”. Dan has written and performed in sketch groups like Big Ol’ Mess (Denver) and Bonus Feature (LA), and performed in comedy festivals all across North America. Now, he is based in Los Angeles studying and performing at The Groundlings, UCB, and Pack Theatre.
Philly Sketchfest was created in 2008 to celebrate sketch comedy in the City of Brotherly Love. Over the years, Philly Sketchfest has brought some of the best sketch comedians to Philadelphia. In addition to live shows, Philly Sketchfest also produces a podcast, My First Sketch, hosted by Josh Higham, available wherever you get your podcasts.
