The Peoples Improv Theater is proud to announce the return of NYC Sketchfest 2023!
The Bjjörks
The Bjjörks bring a variety of comedic tastes to whet your appetite and quench your sketchy thirsts. The team is comprised of Obi O’Brien (writes alien romance novels under pseudonyms), Brian Martin (a successful IVF attempt), Robyn Kimmel (has found over 50 four-leaf clovers) and Jason Tyus Smith (has attended a Swamp Dogg concert).
Time to Kill
Amidst the writers’ strike, writers and producers at The Daily Show, The Tonight Show, and more come together for Time to Kill: A Sketch Comedy Show, a true sketch comedy variety sketch show made up of the best comedians in New York City — with each performance packed with sketches, musical numbers, celebrity impressions, and more! This month features America’s sweethearts Rachael Burke (The Tonight show Show), Scott Hercman (The Daily Show), Julia Schroeder (Magnet Theater), Nick Reichheld (NBC’s Bring the Funny), Channing Tookes (The Armory), and more! If I Think You Should Leave’s Tim Robinson had septuplets, it would be the cast of “Time to Kill.” One thing they all have in common? They KILL it onstage.
