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.
Description
Philly Sketchfest presents Burnt Toast and Mother's Pouch!
Burnt Toast Sketch Show is a high-octane, queer-run, absurdist take on sketch comedy fresh from NYC. Past audience members have described our shows as "a real-live TikTok feed," which I guess we'll take-- we specialize in sketches that hit you hard and fast. Our hour-long shows usually have between 20-28 sketches in them, which is damn near a sketch a minute! We do topical, we do timeless, we do clownish nonsense -- we do it all. And we do a lot of gay stuff. A disproportionate amount of gay stuff. Audience heckling is encouraged :) Featuring the talents of Actor/Writers: Melia Hagino, Sarah Santamaria, Will Warner, Emma Woodward, Griffin Kelly, and Emily Sthuler. Directed and produced by Sarah Santamaria with Assistant Director/Producer Luke Maynus
Mother’s Pouch is a Washington DC-based sketch comedy group, which was voted DC’s “Best New Sketch Group of 2024"! They’ve brought laughs to packed houses all across the District, and as a part of both Chicago Sketchfest and DC Sketchfest. Mother’s Pouch brings a high-energy mix of character-driven, absurdist, and situational humor with just the right amount of existential dread! If you’re looking for some classic knee-slapping comedy, dust off your ol’ knee guards and come jump in the pouch with us!
Grab a drink before (and after) at Quig’s next to Skinner Studio.
Please note that Skinner Studio is a third-floor walk-up in a historic building and unfortunately is not ADA-accessible.
