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 Tandem Jump (from Montreal) and Warm Things!
Tandem Jump is a Montreal-based sketch comedy group. They have been seen at Just For Laughs, Montreal Fringe, and Montreal Sketchfest, the latter of which they received the Best Local Troupe award in 2023 and 2025. They’re excited to bring their ironic multimedia surreal style of sketch comedy to Philadelphia for the first time ever! They hope they make you proud.
Warm Things is Melissa Jouben and Dan Gagliardi, a Philly-based sketch comedy duo inspired primarily by Kids in the Hall and internet hustlepreneurs. Their rapid-fire, absurdist sets have been seen at venues across New York City and New Jersey. Warm Things shows are anchored by the duo's frequent on-stage personas: Dan and Melissa, two perpetual grifters doomed to encourage each other's every bad idea without ever accepting the mercy of defeat. Their plots thicken, then thin out, then get kind of gummy, culminating in an experience that is as disorienting as it is entertaining.
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.
