Editors' Take

A cop named The Vadge, parts played by blow-up dolls and shadow-puppet talk shows -- these are a few of the highlights at this yearly fest featuring performers from around the U.S. and Canada.


The Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival is considered to be the largest sketch comedy festival, showcasing 100 comedy troupes with more than 800 performers performing 125 shows over the course of two weeks. In addition to the shows, panels and discussions, they've also added two new events: Octa-Sketch, in which four teams have eight hours to write a sketch comedy show on Monday, Jan. 7 and perform them at 8 p.m. that night, and the fast-paced Sketchubator, which takes place Saturday nights at midnight. After every show, network with comedy professionals from all over the country while snagging free beer and food.

Performances start at 8 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays, 6 p.m. on Saturdays and at 4 p.m. on Sundays.
