If for some strange reason you aren’t doing anything this weekend (or next weekend), it would behoove you to attend at least one of the Sketchfest shows going on all over San Francisco and Marin County. Not only will there be live shows of “The State”, “Fernwood” and “TV Funhouse”, but a slew of respectable comedians like Rob Corddry and Rob Riggle from “The Daily Show”, Martin Mull, Fred Willard, Jon Hamm, Tim and Eric, Robert Smigel, Triumph The Insult Comic Dog, Dana Carvey, Michael McKean, Janeane Garofalo, Zach Galifianakis and many more. A few friends and I will be going to a handful of these (mainly The Hills: A Staged Reading). Try and make it to one of the events, you can’t go wrong with improv and sketch comedy.
