SF Sketchfest 2025

The 90 Minute Psychedelic Comedy Hour (Time Is An Illusion) showcases top comedians doing stand up about (and possibly on) psychedelics. Featuring Kate Willett (Netflix), Abhay Nadkarni (Just For Laughs), and Adam Strauss (The Mushroom Cure) and more. Prepare to have your mind blown, and your lips contorted into a smile! The rest of your body you can do whatever it wants.

Brooklyn comics Charlie Bardey and Natalie Rotter-Laitman — named two of "The Comedians You Should and Will Know in 2023" by Vulture Magazine — bring a live recording of their cult podcast Exploration: Live! to San Francisco. The show is part stand up, part riffing, and, honestly, really, really funny.

Somehow, Todd Barry and Todd Glass have the same first name. And now, they've decided to do something about it. They're putting on a show.

Hosted by honorary Todd, Shanti Charan.

Mirthquake is a comedy experience unlike any other! Three of San Francisco's best comedians bring you a chaotic stand-up experience, with a unique theme for every show! Abstract impressions, dubious quotes from famous (and infamous) historical figures, audience participation, and nonstop laughter will be yours at Mirthquake. THE BEST COMEDY SHOW IN THE WORLD!

Hosted by Jesse Hett, Andrew Holmgren and Ben Kolina, with guests Natalie Diaz, Benton Harshaw, Mikel Nordstrom, Jamar Pitts, and Alison Reynolds.

The SF Neo-Futurists present: The Infinite Wrench - Bits Out!

Our ensemble will ferociously attempt to perform 30 original micro-plays in just 60 minutes. The show’s order is determined by you, the audience! In honor of Sketchfest, for one night only, we've embarked on a truly unprecedented task to deliver 30 of our sloppiest, sketchiest and downright dumbest comedic plays. 

Since the company’s founding in November 2013, The San Francisco Neo-Futurists have generated over 3,000 original short plays to over 13,000 audience members. Our flagship show, The Infinite Wrench, is an ever-changing collection of 30 interactive, non-illusory, plays performed in 60 minutes, every Friday and Saturday, 50 weekends a year. Every week, we cut between 2 and 12 plays, to be replaced with new plays the following week.

The SF Chronicle listed our show in the “22 San Francisco things everyone must do”

Some say it's an affliction; we're gonna go ahead and call it "comedy..."

SF Sketchfest, in reluctant association with Worldwide Puns, proudly invites you to celebrate the contagious power of the pun: the lowest form of comedy, the highest form of intellect! Worldwide Puns are the incorrigible idiots responsible for six years of sold-out, critically acclaimed shows in San Francisco and Seattle and we are *cringe* proud to bring you The Bay Area Pun-Off, Sketchfest Edition! Hosted by Jonah Spear and Brady Gill, with special guests John Beard, Colin Braun, K. Cheng, and more!
