Sketchfest Seattle - North America's Original Sketch Comedy Festival - Seattle Sketch Comedy
Welcome to SketchFest™ Seattle
>> Meet SketchFest Seattle: >>

SketchFest Seattle was the first-and-only sketch comedy festival in the world when it began in 1999. This year will mark Seattle's 10th SketchFest, and once again local groups will be joining troupes from across the continent 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.

The incredible shrinking ticket!
We reward dedication! And we love our audiences. And in order to make sure that you see as many shows as possible, we have created The Incredible Shrinking Ticket to keep you coming back for more. How does it work? Simple: Your first ticket to a SketchFest show is $15. Bring that ticket back to the next show you want to attend, and you pay $10. Your next show is only $5, and your fourth show is free? After that, it all starts over again at $15. How can you stop coming? You can’t! You will attend every single SketchFest show, all thanks to The Incredible Shrinking Ticket!

[Note: Advanced tickets are for sale through Brown Paper Tickets (www.brownpapertickets.com, 800.838.3006), through which you can only purchase $15 tickets. To take advantage of The Incredible Shrinking Ticket, you must buy the discounted tickets in person at the SketchFest box office at Theatre Off Jackson on the evenings of performance.]
