SketchFest Seattle - North America's Original Sketch Comedy Festival

SketchFest Seattle is the first non-profit theatre festival of its kind in North America, bringing groups from across the continent to Seattle for a weekend of sketch 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.

SketchFest Seattle is now accepting applications for 2008!

SketchFest Seattle, the original sketch comedy festival, is ready.
Really ready. Ready for YOU to apply. We've got a cool new venue, a cool new format, and we need your application to make it all happen.

This year, we'll be running September 24th through 27th at the Theatre Off Jackson in Seattle's historic International District.

Two shows in a fully-stocked and tech-staffed theater.

Free lodging with a local volunteer.

A $500 artist's fee.

The opportunity to perform in front of great Seattle audiences at the original sketch comedy festival.
