SF Sketchfest is pleased to announce Festpocalypse!, the virtual comedy event of the year. Join us for an epic smorgasbord of all-star SF Sketchfest alumni coming together for one show to celebrate 20 years of the festival. With comedy sketches, improvised scenes, game shows, ridiculous debates, musical performances and chats with entertainment icons, the show features all NEW performances and appearances from some of the most beloved names in comedy, film and television.
Ticket Information
This virtual event will help raise funds to keep SF Sketchfest afloat during the ongoing Covid-19 shutdown. As a fiercely independent and locally grown small business, the inability to present live shows for much of 2020 and into 2021 means that we must generate revenue to be able to hold out and come back strong with a live in-person 20th festival. You can help support by buying a ticket below!

Ticketholders can view a replay of the event until Monday, February 1 at 11:59 PM Pacific.
How long is the show?
The runtime is approximately 3 and a half hours. We’re cramming a three-week festival into a single variety show, so expect to get cozy on your couch for awhile!

How does the Future Festival Pass work?
We look forward to putting on the next in-person SF Sketchfest when it’s safe to return to live events. We’re not sure when that will be yet, but you can help support our return by purchasing at the Superfan level.
The Superfan level includes a pass for the next live, in-person SF Sketchfest (dates TBD). This pass will grant the bearer access to as many shows as they can attend during the course of that next festival. Some restrictions apply—the pass is non-transferable, and must be worn by the bearer at all times. Shows will need to be selected in advance. When we know the dates of the next in-person festival, Superfan ticket buyers will be contacted with further details.
