Here Is The Massive and Great Line-up for 2015 SF Sketchfest
Near the start of every year, one of the world’s most massive comedy festival assembles in San Francisco, The SF Sketchfest. For 2015, it’ll run Jan. 22nd-Feb. 8th and tickets go on sale this Sun. Dec. 14th at 10AM.
Per usual, SF Sketchfest has a tome’s worth of amazing comedy acts and in attempting to even truncate their line-up to show you what you could be in for in a more reader-friendly way, the list of shows/performers is still pretty damn long.
