2030 Sansom StreetPhilly Sketchfest 2025 is proud to present AJ Schraeder (from Greensboro, NC), Soy Pony (from NYC), and "Fastball Pitcher" Bob Gutierrez!
A.J. Schraeder has been performing sketch comedy for nearly 2 decades now. During that time, he's brought shows to colleges across the country, been invited to comedy festivals across North America, and sold commercial ideas and content to brands around the world. He is the most recent winner of the Judges Choice award DC Sketchfest's 24-hour sketch contest and has been awarded the title of Best in Fest at the Columbus Brew HaHa and Atlanta Sketchfest. In the commercial world, he has worked with major brands such as Doritos, Legos, and Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Soy Pony is an NYC-based sketch comedy trio comprised of writer/actors Chrissy Bisbee, Katrin Nugent, and Elly Silberstein. They have been performing together since 2021- hiding behind the facade of the hilarious characters they create to never have to reveal their true selves. Together, Soy Pony makes up the perfect person- a little sweet, a little spicy, hot, full of rice- oh wait this is a burrito. Yeehaw!
“Fastball Pitcher” Bob Gutierrez is a former middle-relief pitcher for the 1980s Chicago Cubs. After his baseball career busted, Fastball Bob set off on a journey of self-discovery, finding the world of motivational speaking. Fastball Bob has now re-envisioned his motivational message of “You can probably do it” through the lens of Country Music, welcoming audiences of all ages to “Fastball Country”. Fastball Bob has appeared on pitchers mounds in most National League baseball stadiums, as well as stages, back rooms, and fire halls across America.
