CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY returned to Sketchfest in a new "MUSIC EDITION" which has been dubbed "Bieber, Beyonce, and Beyond!" Performances were held February 9, 2014. This year...get ready for nonstop laughs as you experience a variety of jaw-dropping vignettes inspired and torn straight from the pages of the most unforgettable and unintentionally hilarious MUSIC tell-alls. From Britney Spears to LL Cool J to Tommy Lee, Cher, Madonna and more. True tales of groupies, performance anxiety and more. Originally created by Emmy-Award nominated writer-performer Eugene Pack and developed by Pack and Dayle Reyfel, Celebrity Autobiography has been profiled in virtually every major media outlet including Nightline, CBS Sunday Morning, and The View. The national and international tours of the show garnered a Drama Desk award, and rave reviews across the board- from The New York Times to Rolling Stone to Time Magazine. For this special installment, outrageous and true music memoirs will be acted out live on stage by Pamela Adlon, Rachel Dratch, Florence Henderson, Michael Hitchcock, Laraine Newman, Dayle Reyfel, and Fred Willard. Check out a look back below! SF Sketchfest was founded in 2001 by David Owen, Cole Stratton and Janet Varney as a way to showcase the talents of six Bay Area sketch comedy groups: The Fresh Robots, Kasper Hauser, The Meehan Brothers, Please Leave the Bronx, Totally False People and White Noise Radio Theatre. The festival debuted in January of 2002 at the Shelton Theatre in downtown San Francisco and has grown rapidly into a nationally recognized comedy festival 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. A favorite with audiences, critics, and performers alike, the festival has grown substantially to become a highly anticipated artistic showcase that consistently delivers top quality comedic performances, tributes and panel discussions.
