2016 was an incredible experience for us, and we’re pleased to report that we’ll again be hosting our events at multiple venues across the City of Philadelphia.

If you’d like to apply, please use the link below to submit your group, comedy collective or solo act for the 2017 Philly Sketchfest.  Please note – There is a $20 submission fee.

Apply for 2017 Philly Sketchfest here!

Submission period will close on February 15th, 2017. Our festival schedule will be released on Wednesday, March 15th 2017.

We’re also happy to announce that, for the second year in a row, we’ll be hosting a Sketch Comedy Film Festival that will take place in the evening on Wednesday, April 19th. As an added bonus, the submission fee for this year’s film fest is only $5!
