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 The Incredible Shrinking Matt & Jacquie (from Philly) (with special guests)!
The Incredible Shrinking Matt & Jacquie are a Philadelphia based sketch comedy duo consisting of Matt Schmid and Jacquie Baker. The pair met while performing in the Philly Improv Theater house team The Flat Earth. They quickly bonded over a shared goofy yet dark sense of humor and decided to spin off their own side project as a duo. Since forming in 2013 they have performed and taught workshops all across North America, opened for acts such as Emo Philips and Adult Swim’s DJ Douggpound, worked on film and commercial projects, and even got married in 2022.
Disco Horses is a sketch comedy duo featuring Joe Harrington and Eric Greenbaum. Their sketches are absurd, high-concept, honest, silly, and will leave you thinking “what the fuck just happened.” Disco Horses has performed around NYC and Chicago, as well as Edinburgh Fringe, New York Comedy Festival, DC Sketchfest, and more. Reviewers from their run in Edinburgh said, "I have never laughed so fucking hard in my life as I did watching Disco Horses" (EdFringeReview), "...fresh and unique...most definitely a hit" (SMUReviews), "Joe and Eric’s chaotic yet hilarious sketch compilation is nothing short of a farcical joy" (ForgePress).
