They cloned Mozart, it went horribly wrong and now we're stuck with the consequences. Shitty Mozart (Aaron Nemo, a writer for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert") performs a dazzlingly chaotic, vulgar, experimental one-man multimedia concerto.

Terrified that the audience will realize he lacks the musical genius of his predecessor, Shitty Mozart will try anything – playing makeshift instruments he's invented, performing duets with cartoons he drew, even conducting an elaborate laser light show voiced entirely by the song "Mr. Brightside" – in a futile attempt to escape Wolfgang's shadow and make a name for himself.

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”

Woody Fu: One Man John Wick
Saturday January 25, 2025 3:00pm - 4:30pm PST
Eclectic Box
ON SALE 11/17 10AM
After a SOLD OUT RUN at Hollywood Fringe, Woody Fu: One-Man John Wick is on tour and has gone up in Austin TX, Chicago IL, and Toronto ON. 

This scripted solo show takes us on the set of John Wick Chapter 5: E Pluribus Unum. Keanu needs the audience’s help to recreate all the hallmarks of this billion dollar franchise: elaborate fight choreography, death-defying stunts, and a plot device called “undeveloped dead wife character.”

More than a parody, Woody Fu: One-Man John Wick goes deeper into Keanu’s psychology. How do we reconcile the contradiction that he is the Nicest Guy in Hollywood, but his movies are insanely violent? Where does his tireless work ethic come from? What are his demons? And also, why is Woody the one exorcising them?

Keanu contains multitudes: 
Reluctant A-list celebrity. Polite Canadian and action movie star. 40 year acting vet who went from goofy surfer to Clint Eastwood.

He loves his fans, does his own stunts, and buys people motorcycles. Let us celebrate The Nicest Guy in Hollywood with a show as weird, earnest, and hardworking as the man himself. 

Woody Fu is an actor/writer based in Los Angeles. He has appeared in film and television on HULU, Max, Comedy Central, ABC, CBS, FX, AppleTV+, Peacock, Netflix and Amazon. He has written for the Onion and was featured as a New Face of Comedy at Montreal’s Just For Laughs festival.

Saturday February 1, 2025 3:00pm - 4:30pm PST
Eclectic Box
ON SALE 11/17 10AM
‘(Not) That Bad’ is a show about death, dating, and diarrhea. Catherine McCafferty will take you on the journey of her life: growing up in a family affected by alcoholism, coming out of the closet late, getting engaged to her first gay partner, having her engagement end, watching her dad die, getting sexually assaulted, and (arguably) worst of all shitting herself in public. 
The show strives to explore that tragedy plus jokes equals comedy, because time isn’t linear. Grief is a circle and the circle can and should have some really funny speed bumps along the way. If the journey of life isn’t where we are going but how we got there, it's also about how we tell people we got there.

Sunday February 2, 2025 3:00pm - 4:30pm PST
Eclectic Box
ON SALE 11/17 10AM
The Big Bad Armo Show is a sketch comedy show that holds up a fun house mirror to the Armenian American experience through a blend of satire, humor, and social commentary. Since 2009, the show has tackled topics ranging from the community's rich cultural heritage as the first nation to adopt Christianity to Kim Kardashian — and sometimes both, like when Kim refers to her faith as “Kristianity." Why should you care to see a show that's mostly about Armenians? Because chances are you have a co-worker, roommate, partner, or friend who’s Armenian and has already made your life a lot more interesting — or delicious. And if you don’t know an Armenian yet, this is your chance to meet a whole bunch at once — and trust us, it’ll change your life.

The show is totally accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of background. The Big Bad Armo Show is packed with original characters, spot-on impersonations, and sketches that, while rooted in the Armenian American experience, resonate with anyone who’s ever had a family, faced an awkward moment, or survived a political scandal. We don’t just stick to Armenian themes; we dive into broader political, social, and cultural topics, delivering a dynamic and diverse comedy experience.
