Sketchfest NightLife

Laugh your face off as SF Sketchfest takes over the Academy for a knee-slapping night of creatures, cocktails, and comedy, part of the annual SF Sketchfest Comedy Festival.

• Taking over the Forum for some live riffing are twisted “Mystery Science Theater 3000” scientists Frank Beaulieu and Frank Conniff in The Mads Are Back, along with Strangerer Things, an improvised send up of last summer’s beloved 80’s-esque sci-fi series.
• In the African Hall, witness some seriously funny Fake TED Talks with special guests.
• The Terrace is home to two live popular science-themed podcasts, Eureka! and This Week in Science.
• In the Piazza, check out the stars of truTV’s “Those Who Can’t” in The Grawlix and Friends hosted by Adam Cayton-Holland, Andrew Orvedahl and Ben Roy, as well as a stand-up nebula featuring Julie Ash, Kaseem Bentley, Casey Ley, Andrew Orolfo, Greg Santos, Jacob Sirof, Ta’Vi and Emily Van Dyke. New Wave City’s DJ Shindog spins all night long in the Coral Reef.
