SF Sketchfest

Arden Myrin was a dazzler of a host, Erin Foley knock it out as a cohost, Paget Brewster gave great commentary as did the other guest whose names I don t recalll adding their insight. Almost makes me want to watch the tv show.

Great show, Donnelly was funny and after the show he talked with us! Great person!

All three of the performing comedians were excellent. My girlfriend and I had such a good time. The drinks at Cobb are actually pretty code, and the food is much better than you would expect. A big shout out to Laurie Kilmartin, her routine was hilarious!

April Richardson, Laurie Kilmartin and Lizz Winstead were a terrific trio. The three of them had us laughing all night long.

The show didn't seem very well put together to be honest. Completely get that Raphael Bob-Waksberg was throwing up which is not something you can prepare for but I did buy tickets to this to specifically hear him speak. It would be as if I bought tickets to a Coldplay show, Chris Martin got sick, but the band decided to play anyways. Sure, I'd be happy to hear the music that I love performed by most of the people that made it but I'd kinda want some sort of recourse for Chris Martin not being there to be honest.

The moderator kept interjecting his own experience with anime shows he used to write for. Very distracting... I can see why this person does not have a full time comedy job...

The girls were so engaging and funny. It was a great show to see even if you weren't a follower of the podcast.

My first poor Sketchfest experience in four years. Was looking forward to TV's comedic belle, Natasha Leggero and didn't mind that she was paired up with a bunch of dudes I had never heard of. The host set the bar low with a bit about stuffing raisins in his rectum as a child. A couple of the comics produced mildly amusing anecdotes. Then comes Jon Benjamin, best known as the talking tin can in "Wet Hot American Summer." His 'bit" was that he doesn't do "jokes." Edgy? Meh. Lame and unfunny? Yes. Then some buddy of his shows up in the crowd wearing Bane's mask from Batman. Uninspired, barely improvised banter ensues. Then, lights up. Leggero nowhere to be found, her absence never mentioned. Thought maybe I had clicked on the wrong event link until I found some tiny announcement on the Sketchfest FB page about her having to cancel. Waste of an evening.

I went to six different sketchfest events. This and kids in the hall were far and away my favorites.

I loved Jessica and Phoebe. They were hilarious. Most of acts were amazing.

Jackie K. is always fun and she has interesting and funny guests at her live events. I recommend that you go if you have the chance.

I was looking forward to seeing all the comics who performed at this event since they are talented and have spent years in the business. Unfortunately, only 2 of them prepared actual material. Look, I love a good improvised set, but when Jeff Garlin comes onstage and talks about water and then jokes about how he prepared NOTHING. Kind of a slap in the face for the $40 ticket you bought. Zach Galifianakis was an awesome surprise and he was prepared. Other than that, seemed like a waste of my money. ALSO, no one notified me that Chelsea Peretti was no longer performing. She was top billed, and the main reason I bought my ticket. What gives?

Always guaranteed laughing out loud whenever Jackie Kashian is on stage. She is always in some of her best form when hosting a live version of her Dork Forest podcast. Interacting with another comic, actor, author, or other person of interest as they dork out about whatever things interest them the most is always fun and interesting. She asks great questions and the riffing that often results from their answers is hysterical. So glad she was a part of Sketchfest and I'd love to see her get booked to headline at the Punchline sometime

These guys are great; funniest show I've seen in years. Bring back the Goofy Roofers!

It was really interesting and fun to hear about the background of the show BoJack Horseman. The panelists (actor Paul F Tompkins, creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, supervising director Mike Hollingsworth, and designer Lisa Hanawalt) were hilarious and articulate (besides all the puns). It was also a nice surprise to have writer & actor Mara Wilson as the moderator. As always the staff at Cobb's were very nice and the (mandatory) drinks were good.

My cheeks were hurting when I left I was smiling so much and laughing so hard. One of those shows you remember lines from long after and it makes you laugh out loud in the middle of the grocery store.

It was a cool surprise having Kevin McDonald & Dave Foley(Kids in the Hall)do a little 10 min. warm-up skit.I loved the show but if it was going to be the Ultimate Crowd Work show there should've been a mic for the crowd like in the last crowd work tour & I think Todd Barry should've gone on last instead of Big Jay Oakerson.I left after the first 10 min. of Big Jay's skit so I hope I didn't miss out on some killer finale where Todd came back out on stage or somethin'.But overall Barry's comedy is something not to be missed.I hope he's going to make this tour into a dvd but I didn't see anyone really filming anything. Since his style is to talk in a soft tone if people are talking loud around your area ,you'll miss out on one of his classic insights on the audience.

This was my fourth UYD show...three of those have been at Cobb's, and they just are never disappointing. I love the seating, the non-alcoholic drinks are great, and the show...I wish Seth and Jonathan were here at least once a month!!! Love them so much!!
