Andalyn Young – Philly Sketchfest

Few things make us happier than seeing (or hearing) all the love Philadelphia’s sketch comedy community has been getting from national comedy festivals and this past weekend at Montreal Sketchfest 2016 The Flat Earth added a few more accolades performing in the closing night “Best of Fest” show and winning “Best Newcomer” (a.k.a. The Bag of Beer). Philly Sketchfest congratulates Jacquie Baker, Vincent DiCostanzo, Rich Lee, Adam Siry, Matthew Schmid, Molly Silverman and director, Paul Triggiani of The Flat Earth on all their accomplishments this year (including runners-up for Producer’s Pick at Toronto Sketchfest) and thanks you for putting Philadelphia in the conversation when it comes to sketch comedy.

Now please enjoy this week’s listings, with special attention for the May 20th Philly Sketchfest Presents Showcase at The Adrienne Theater Playground!

First at 8:30pm, it’s Adventure Friends with Baby Steps hosted by Tim Butterly of Comedy Central’s Delco Proper.

Then at 10:15pm, it’s the triumphant, one-night only, encore presentation of House of Solitude’s, “A Galaxy Uncherished” with special guests One Idiot from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City, performing in their critically acclaimed, lost play from Tennessee Williams, “What The Horse Saw”.

Earlier this year, Philadelphia (nay, the world) was formerly introduced to twin musicians, Sherry & Terry of Baby Steps, a musical duo born from the depths of the dark underbelly of the nursery-core scene. Created, written & performed by Megan Thibodeaux & Andalyn Young, Baby Steps is a positively eclectic pastiche of comedy, music and performance art that needs to be seen. With a highly celebrated performance at the inaugural Bechdel Fest and equally revered follow-up at Philly Sketchfest 2016, the duo continues their cosmic journey for musical enlightenment this Sunday, April 24th at 8:00pm at W/N W/N (931 Spring Garden St.). While you count down the moments until Sunday, enjoy this interview from Joshua Higham (My First Sketch) and get to know Megan & Andalyn from Baby Steps…
