Courting Sketchfest Countdown: “Cynic Cave @ Lost Weekend Video” [21 Days Left]

[In a desert of deserting venues and fleeting stages, Cynic Cave underneath the Lost Weekend Video store has become an oasis of promise. The compact and homely environment was a big hit with performers/patrons at SFCBF and they’re poised to steal the show again at Sketchfest with its loose, bungalow spirit.]

Courting Sketchfest Countdown: Charles (2/6) and (2/7). [39 Days Left]

[Sketchfest if renown for a consistent streak of heartwarming tributes, tantalizing reunions, and emboldened deluxe screenings. It’s also a huge proponent of cross-country-comedy pollination. Charles, an award-winning duo from Seattle, is one highly infectious strand of said dissemination returns to San Francisco. Each year the team seems to come out of nowhere, a revelation to unwitting audiences, despite being active for a number of years. It’s hard to convey the genius of Charles; although, I did try hard last year. Hopefully a higher profile (like performing alongside Jeff Garlin), and increased word-of-mouth will bring wide-spread awareness to Charlie and Chuck.]

As you should already know by now, SF Sketchfest returns January 24th for it’s 12th iteration of being one of the WORLD’S premier comedy festivals. The awesomeness therein contained certainly makes this site’s job easier, and the fest’s history is a gold mine for blog-ammunition. But we’re going to take our time, we’re going to make it romantic, we’re going to spend time Courting Sketchfest. So, for the next 40 DAYS I shall be highlighting the locals, loaners, and longshots with a keen eye on the underdog while give props to the top. 

[P.S. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m. Some of these events will sell out immediately; Sketchfest has a Comic-Con affect at this point.]
