SF Sketchfest is in the top, top echelon of comedy festivals around the world with it’s wide, wide variety of comedy and it pretty much spanning three weeks in San Francisco. Thankfully, it usually is in the very beginning of the year and will probably(?) not get postponed like so many comedy festivals that are happening well before it.

In the meantime, SF Sketchfest has stepped up to the plate to provide some exclusive content in the on-going effort to keep all of us staying at home from going entirely insane. They just announced this week that they will be releasing videos of singular performances, often never-before-seen, that happened at SF Sketchfest in years past.

This will include:
a Best in Show reunion
George Wallace and Patton Oswalt in conversation
Roast of Peaches Christ
and much more to be announced (seriously, some once-in-a-lifetime stuff happens at SF Sketchfest and you might have a chance to actually see it now)

You’ll be able to digitally rent these performances for $5 for 48 hours. Proceeds will keep SF Sketchfest going strong as charities supporting comedy and the arts in the Bay Area.

Quibi was about to tape its own stand-up series at the Hollywood Improv right when this current pandemic shut all live entertainment down for the time being.

Fortunately, there was a stand-up series that had already been shot by Will Smith’s Westbrook Studios several months ago in Las Vegas and that series, called “This Joka”, has found its way to the just-about-to-launch mobile streaming platform Quibi (set to launch next week on Apr. 6th).

Many of our favorite comics that we’ve gotten to see up close in the before times will be featured on this series including:

Baron Vaughn
Chris Estrada
Christi Chiello
Clayton English
Daphnique Springs
David Gborie
Demi Adejuyigbe
George Wallace
Jackie Fabulous
Martin Urbano
Punkie Johnson
Rosebud Baker
Sam Tallent
Shane Torres
Shawn Wasabi
Vanessa Gonzalez

Per Quibi’s platform, episodes won’t be longer than 10 minutes and there are 16 of them ordered, which probably means that each episode will be a showcase set and conversation with the comics line-up. Also, Will Smith hosted all of This Joka and the one and only Lance Bangs directed the whole thing, making this stand-up series just all the more intriguing.

Jerry Seinfeld Hangs Out with His Old Friend George Wallace and His Hero Robert Klein

The latest two episodes of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee has Jerry Seinfeld take a ride and grab a cup of coffee with two comedians that he has known the longest. Seinfeld and George Wallace not only came up together at the same time, but think of each other as brothers. Robert Klein, throughout the entire canon of stand-up comedy, is one of Seinfeld’s absolute heroes.

It’s fascinating to see Wallace rib Jerry a little and Klein talk about stand-up in the 60s.
