Description
Philly Sketchfest is proud to present the 20th Anniversary of Secret Pants featuring a special performance from "Fastball Pitcher" Bob Gutierrez.
Secret Pants is the longest-running "consistently active" sketch comedy group in Philadelphia. They began in 2004, before Philly had a sketch comedy scene, and are now celebrating their 20th anniversary. Secret Pants are excited to be taking the stage again, twenty years older, with a lot more laugh lines and a lot less hair.
“Fastball Pitcher” Bob Gutierrez is a former middle-relief pitcher for the 1980s Chicago Cubs. After his mediocre-at-best baseball career busted, “Fastball” set off on a journey of self-discovery, and found himself in the world of motivational speaking, inspiring diverse crowds ranging from church youth groups to old-age homes, and everything in between. “Fastball” 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 Pitcher” Bob Gutierrez has appeared on pitchers mounds in most National League baseball stadiums, as well as stages, back rooms, and fire halls across America.
