New York based comedian and actor Nore Davis is a favorite on the standup circuit, with specials on both Comedy Central and Amazon. Nore most recently completed filming the Lionsgate feature "Puppyhood" opposite Grant Gustin and sold his own show to Fox that he will be starring in and producing. In 2020 he recorded and released a critically acclaimed new standup album "Nore Davis: Live at the Comedy Trap House". He is a familiar face on several comedy fan favorite TV series including NBC’s "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon", TBS’ "Conan", HBO’s "2 Dope Queens", and Comedy Central’s "This Week At The Cellar". He also appeared on HBO’s hit shows "Boardwalk Empire" and "Succession" and recurred in season 3 of "Dickinson" for Apple.

Legendary sketch troupe The Kids in the Hall has been a staple of SF Sketchfest — in one way or another— for 20 years, but this is the first time we’re bringing you a show spotlighting the extraordinary, hilarious, strange, and beloved music of this groundbreaking group. Spend an evening of songs and sketches with some of your favorite KITH characters, who will be accompanied by San Francisco’s own Red Room Orchestra: a collective of popular, jazz, classical, and electronic composers and performers who’ve played and recorded alongside some of the most iconic bands in history.
