It’s the week of Thanksgiving and we have a lot of people to thank for all they did to make our Philly Sketchfest Presents November showcase such a success including performers Sweetish, Trout House (NYC), Eddie Finn, all the groups that took part in The Dirtiest Sketch in Philadelphia (editors note – check out the link for all the info including who won by clicking here), and last but certainly not least, Cynthia-Marie, Nicole Yates, Jaime Kelly and Dave Terruso. Now let’s get all types of informed for Thanksgiving Week including a camera-phone film festival and a 38-hour long marathon of comedy…
