The 4th Annual Philly SketchFest Film Festival  

Wednesday, May 29th 7:00 pm 

Philly Sketchfest returns to the PFS Roxy for their 4th annual Sketch Comedy Film Festival, which will feature shorts by comedians and funny filmmakers from Philadelphia and beyond. The film festival will coincide with Philly Sketchfest’s 4-day live comedy festival, which runs from May 30th through June 2nd.

This year, the festival will showcase an incredible array of over 40 hilarious films from both local and out-of-town comedians and filmmakers. Featuring live action, animation, musicals and more, we’re excited to present 3 blocks of some of the funniest short-form content out there…all jam-packed in under 3 hours!

The film fest will be hosted by Curt Riedy, a Philly Sketchfest co-producer and member of the local sketch-comedy troupe High Dramma.

You can get a taste of our previous year’s comedy film selection here!

Philly Sketchfest’s (PSF) goal is to entertain audiences, support the growth of Philadelphia’s comedy community, and celebrate national and international sketch groups with unique shows, performers, and panels.
