To die for

Just nu håller San Francisco Sketchfest 2006 på för fullt. Jag är inte där. Och det är så man kan börja gråta när man tar del av programmet:

• Mr. Show’s David Cross and Bob Odenkirk to receive the annual SF Sketchfest Tribute

• The Kids in the Hall’s Dave Foley hosts and presents a new musical comedy show

• Saturday Night Live’s Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch and Horatio Sanz to join Matt Besser and Ian Roberts for live improv with the Upright Citizens Brigade: A.S.S.S.S.C.A.T. with monologues performed by Will Arnett from Arrested Development

• Michael Showalter and David Wain from MTV’s The State, Comedy Central’s Stella and the films Wet Hot American Summer and The Baxter to present a special lecture

• Tinkle, the popular NYC variety show with David Cross, Todd Barry and Jon Benjamin, comes to San Francisco with guests Bob Odenkirk, Brian Posehn and Paul F. Tompkins

• Rob Corddry from The Daily Show to perform improv with his acclaimed group The Naked Babies

• The Paul F. Tompkins Show, hosted by the Mr. Show and The Sketch Show performer, fresh from sold-out runs at Los Angeles’s hip Largo, comes to San Francisco with Dave (Gruber) Allen, Paul Gilmartin and very special guests
