Events Set For SketchFest NYC, Kicks Off Today

SketchFest NYC starts TODAY, running from Wednesday June 8th, to Saturday June 11th at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. A few highlights from tonight's shows, and the full schedule is posted below:

The Solo Show: Tonight at 7pm, three spectacular solo sketch comedy shows come together to perform, hosted by The Pyramid Shew's Megan Kellie. This is a great way of seeing all the solo sketch shows in the Festival at one time, from the dark mindscapes of I Am The Horizon, to Paul Thomas' crisp clear characters, to Meghan O'Neill's delightfully loopy 'Fraidy Cat.

Kurt & Kristen: Tonight at 10pm, the incomparable Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal present some of their best sketches of all time! So that should be nice.

101.9RXP presents Sketch Rocks!: Tonight at 11pm, 101.9RXP's Dave Greek welcomes three excellent comedic musical acts - rap duo Snakes, the coyly filthy Shayna Ferm, and the explosive Adira Amram and the Experience - for one performance only! These are three of the best, most hilarious musical acts anywhere, with a finale that is not to be missed!
