SF Sketchfest is a national comedy festival in San Francisco that mixes national headliners, local favorites, and the best up-and-coming groups from throughout North America for a month of sketch, improv, stand-up, and alternative comedy. The festival has featured performers from every major North American television comedy hit of the last 25 years including "Saturday Night Live," "The Kids in the Hall," "Arrested Development," "The Upright Citizens Brigade," "The State," "Mystery Science Theatre 3000," "Strangers with Candy," "The Simpsons," and "The Daily Show."Celebrity Autobiography is playing to sell-out audiences and rave reviews. Charles Isherwood of The New York Times called the show "big-yuks entertainment" and a "merry compendium of the witlessness and wisdom of the rich and famous." Joe Dziemianowicz of the Daily News called it a "potent comic cocktail...you weep with laughter." The New Yorker called it "inspired." And Sam Thielman of Variety wrote, "Audience members hyperventilate. It should lead a long and happy life." The show was recently feature on an episode of ABC's "The View" and will be featured in the coming weeks on the same network's nighttime news show, "Nightline."Photo by Peter James Zielinski
