Twenty years ago, a cinematic and comedy phenomenon made waves through pop culture, in the form of a little independent film called “Napoleon Dynamite.” Written by Jared and Jerusha Hess, directed by Jared Hess and starring a fantastic cast of characters led by Jon Heder, the movie was a spectacular hit that had many of us sporting ubiquitous “Vote for Pedro” buttons. SF Sketchfest is very proud to present a 20th Anniversary table read of the film, featuring stars Jon Heder, Efren Ramirez, Jon Gries, Tina Majorino, Diedrich Bader and guest cast Nyima Funk, Mindy Sterling, Janet Varney and Gary Anthony Williams. Cosplay encouraged!

The venue for this show has changed. This show is now at Sequoia Cinema in Mill Valley.

Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher ("Late Show") take you on a guided tour through their latest and greatest VHS finds, including a video dating tape for women in 1987, a striptease video called "Males In Motion," and a mysterious New Age seminar called "Elimination: The First Step."

The George Lucas Talk Show and the Star Wars Minute podcast are delighted to announce their appearance at the SF Sketchfest for a LIVE staged reading of the Star Wars Holiday Special! Join them and all-star cast of comedic thespians as they return the much-maligned TV special to life before your very eyes!

In 1978 George Lucas was eager to keep his blockbuster Star Wars in the public eye so his beloved characters would face their biggest threat to date—starring in a TV variety show! The world would be forever changed as we watched how Wookiee’s celebrate their titular holiday, Life Day! Featuring a galaxy of guest stars from Bea Arthur (“Maude”), Dihaann Carroll (“Julia”) and Harvey Korman (“High Anxiety”) the special would never be aired again. Curious fans have had no (legal) way to enjoy the festive flop—until now! Featuring the 21st Century equivalents of Art Carney, Starship and Harrison Ford, this live performance, like its predecessor, will never be repeated!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away MALLA THE WOOKIEE is worried her husband, CHEWBACCA, won’t make it home in time for LIFE DAY! Cooking, classic rock and EROTIC VR can’t distract her, her son LUMPY and father-in-law ITCHY! Will Han and Chewie make it in time? Is this really the first appearance of Boba Fett? Can Princess Leia carry a tune?

Find out the answers with The George Lucas Talk Show and the Star Wars Minute at the 2025 San Francisco Sketchfest!

With Don Bies, Patrick Cotnoir, JoJo Ginn, Mary Holland, Rob Huebel, Seth Morris, Griffin Newman, Pete the Retailer, Connor Ratliff, Paul Scheer, Alex Robinson, Janet Varney and Nina West.
