SketchFest Seattle was the first-and-only sketch comedy festival in the world when it began in 1999. 2008 marked Seattle's 10th SketchFest, and once again troupes from across the continent showed for a dense weekend of top-notch comedy. Our mission is to promote sketch comedy as a performing art by providing an opportunity for groups to showcase their work for Seattle audiences to enjoy, and to allow groups to network with other performers, writers and professionals in the comedic arts.
