SF Sketchfest 2026
January 15 – February 1, 2026 | Across San Francisco
San Francisco’s favorite comedy takeover is back. SF Sketchfest returns for its 23rd year, bringing more than 200 shows and 500+ performers to stages all across the city.
For over two weeks, expect a stacked lineup of sketch, stand-up, improv, live podcasts, musical comedy, and special one-night-only events. This year’s highlights include Brian Henson’s Puppet Up! Uncensored, Kids in the Hall’s 30th Anniversary Brain Candy Live Read, plus tributes celebrating The Women of SNL, Randall Park, and Mark Mothersbaugh.
If you love comedy and live entertainment, this is one of those “don’t miss it” SF traditions. Shows sell out fast, plan ahead and build your schedule early.
