SketchFest Seattle

SketchFest Seattle, the world’s original sketch comedy festival, comes roaring back LIVE at our home at Unexpected Productions

Unexpected Productions Market Theater

SketchFest Seattle is back for its 23rd year and bringing the best sketch comedians from around the country and right here in the Pacific Northwest. After two years of pandemic programming both live and online, this year’s festival is going big with groups touring from Portland, LA, Michigan, Minnesota, and all the way from New York City! SketchFest Seattle is so excited to have touring groups back on stage and reconnect with the worldwide community of sketch comedians, writers, performers, and fans. 7 shows, 3 nights, dozens of performers, all happening on one unforgettable weekend at The Market Theater in Seattle’s Pike Place Market! What is Sketch Comedy? - If you’ve seen classics like Saturday Night Live or The Kids in the Hall, or are a fan of Netflix’s I Think You Should Leave or HBO’s A Black Lady Sketch Show, you’ve experienced sketch comedy! It’s made up of short, punchy, pre-planned scenes which are meticulously written and rehearsed ahead of time. Every joke is tailor crafted to make you, the audience, have the most potent comedic experience possible. SketchFest’s mission is to promote this wonderful comedy style year-round.Performance DatesFriday, September 9th - 7:00pm – The Market TheaterFriday, September 9th - 9:00pm – The Market TheaterSaturday, September 10th - 5:00pm – The Market Theater Saturday, September 10th - 7:00pm – The Market Theater Saturday, September 10th - 9:00pm – The Market Theater Sunday, September 11th - 6:00pm – The Market Theater Sunday, September 11th - 8:30pm – The Market Theater Friday, Sept. 9 7pm: Jeffrey Nickels/Cam Wylie 9pm: Jean Paul Bros/Maple Daddies Saturday, Sept. 10 5pm: Ben Steitzer/Homeless Fire Party7pm: Responsible Adults/Bad Medicine 9pm: Amanda Xeller/EFTL 10pm: ~happy hour hang sesh~Sunday, Sept. 116pm: Seattle Showcase Turbo Turkey A Southern Mood Noble Rot Butt CollectionDrop the Rootbeer 830pm: Jason Miller/Jordan Moeller<blockquote>Current as of July 15, 2022: Our top priority continues to be the safety of our audiences, improvisers, students, staff, and the community.
