"The 23rd SF Sketchfest (January 15- February 1, 2026, across multiple local venues) just released its much-anticipated lineup, and it's full of comedy gold. The festival is the one time of year that the Bay Area comedy scene really gets its due, and talents from Los Angeles and beyond collaborate wonderfully with us. The annual lineup announcement, which dropped this morning, is just as the Bay Area's major music festivals; tickets go on sale at 10am on Sunday at sfsketchfest.com."
"It was thrilling to be offered a quick peek at what's being planned for 2026 before specific dates and places were announced, and then challenged to pick just five highlights. Because of the sheer volume of standup performances, podcasts, game shows, tributes, workshops, and other events coming (including Kids in the Hall, "Futurama," and Brian Henson's naughty puppets), the massive SF Sketchfest calendar deserves time to work through."
"The Women of SNLMake way for the queens of broadcast comedy to be honored with an official SF Sketchfest Tribute, with Ellen Cleghorne, Rachel Dratch, Robin Duke, Ana Gasteyer, Laraine Newman, Cheri Oteri, Julia Sweeney, and more guests planned. This is SNL starpower to the highest degree, with multiple eras represented, and it'd be shocking if this isn't one of the first to sell out. January 25, Great Star Theater, SF. More info here."
