Courting Sketchfest Countdown: 3rd Annual Sketchfest Dozen @ San Francisco Punch Line [23 Days Left]
The Sketchfest Dozen, a rousing stand-up cluster housed in the hallowed San Francisco Punch Line, is again presenting premier performers at peak interest, intrigue, or tipping point. Most of this year’s participants are visiting from foreign metropolises, rising fast, on the tip tastemaker’s tongues, emerging as the faces of fresh. Others are veritable veterans, unflinching and poised to break through their career’s next level. All of them are extending their talents to the benefit of the Bay Area, as members of an elite band of new headliners collected at a fair and honest juncture.
Courting Sketchfest Countdown: Hail to the King, Baby: An Evening with Bruce Campbell w/ Patton Oswalt [26 Days Left]
[The legendary conclusion of the Bruce Campbell/Sam Raimi Evil Dead collaboration, Army of Darkness, experienced live with all the nerdy fixings]
Courting Sketchfest Countdown: JC Coccoli [30 Days Left]
[JC has been – live and afar – one of my favorite comedians of the year 20tweleve. Entertainment abounds from a combination of charm and dorkage, poise and stumbling, unique affectations and rolling riffs. Catch her on Jan 25 and 26 at the Cynic Cave and Stage Werx respectively]
Courting Sketchfest Countdown: “2013 SF Sketchfest Trailer” (aka, the Maelstrom). [34 Days Left]
[When spoken aloud, the line-up for this year’s Sketchfest sounds like a mad plot by the Joker to release organic SmileX]
Courting Sketchfest Countdown: ‘The Adventures of Pete and Pete Reunion’ @ The Marines’ Memorial Theater. [37 Days]
[Nothing is better than nostalgia and the 1990s was rife with little nuggets of inspired weirdness (that made it okay to be a weird kid). Pete and Pete were the cathartic surragates for my own sibling rivalries and immature idiosyncrasies and it’s exciting to warp back, if only for a second].
Courting Sketchfest Countdown: Reggie Watts returns for the second Reggidency! [38 Days]
[Reggie Watts is the widely acclaimed, wildly appreciated genius behind Reggie Watts. He’s slowly taking over hearts and minds with a beautiful, benevolent dictatorship. Don’t be afraid, just accept and patronize the brilliance and bravado @ SFSketchfest 2013]
![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.]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/bf0b0af38f5422f7af780f9399571ef7/tumblr_mf5hw4R72j1qcxc43o1_500.jpg)

Comedy Bureau readership,
There is a big announcement about SF Sketchfest 2013 that’s coming up this Friday, but we’re sworn to secrecy by the binding agreement of a press release to not say anything else. That being said, we have read that press release and it’ll be some damn fine news if you…
