After taking a day to sleep, re-hydrate, sleep and then sleep some more, we’d like to take a moment to offer our sincere gratitude and thanks to all of the performing groups from Philadelphia and across North America that participated in Philly Sketchfest 2016 and our audiences for supporting this festival at the most attended Philly Sketchfest to date! We’d also like to take the time to thank our 2016 Festival Sponsors – Philadelphia Film Society & PFS Roxy Theater, Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, Federal Donuts, Miss Rachel’s Pantry, Ida Mae’s Bruncherie, and Uber. Finally, we want to make sure you are specifically aware of those who volunteered and donated their time, efforts or expertise in making Philly Sketchfest 2016 as successful as it was. We’re very proud of these people and honored to have them in our corner. Running a sketch comedy festival is simply not something three people do on their own and many people deserve acknowledgement and appreciation for making this festival a success and run as smoothly as possible from night to night. Please join us as we thank them for their tireless efforts…
