Talkies – San Francisco, CA

Don’t miss this upcoming event in San Francisco, CA. Happening on Thursday, January 23, 2025 at The Lost Church. Doors open at 7:00 PM.

SF Sketchfest: The San Francisco Comedy Festival presents 3 weeks of non-stop live sketch, improv, stand-up, podcasts, reunions, and more!

Talkies is the best unconventional, experimental, and multi-media live comedy event on the West Coast. At Talkies, comedians, writers, improvisers, and performers work outside of their regular routines to push the boundaries of comedy; PowerPoint presentations, characters, and off-stage antics are the order of the day.

Started in the basement of San Francisco’s Lost Weekend Video store, this monthly show has been an incubator for many unique comedy talents spreading their wings on weird flights of fancy. Talkies now has a new home in LA at the Whammy Analog VHS store every third Thursday!

Past guest performers have included Aparna Nancherla, Brent Weinbach, Ron Lynch, Frankie Quinones, Myq Kaplan, Sad Vicious, Mary Mack, and Beth Lisick. The show is a regular feature of SF Sketchfest and almost always sells out.

Featuring your hosts – Nick Stargu, George Chen, Aviva Siegel, Land Smith and guests Jaren George, Iain Langlands, The London Cycling Man, and Maryam Moosavi
