The 2012 Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival (AKA Sketchfest) offers plenty of comedy tonight with 24 groups performing on four stages (The Thrust, The Pro, The Box, The Cab) at Stage 773.
Many of the groups performing tonight also performed last night or last weekend.
For tonight’s 9pm slot I’m picking Heavy Wait featuring T.J. Miller (Late Night with David Letterman, Comedy Central), Brady Novak (Community, Raising Hope), Mark Raterman (Second City) and Nick Vatterott (Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan) but last night I saw Pangea 3000 and they were one of my absolute favorites this year so I also highly recommend seeing them tonight if you missed them yesterday.
Other second chance performances I recommend include The Tim and Micah Project, The Cupid Players, Urlakis and Cusick, Stupid Time Machine and Fuct.
These are my picks for tonight.

The 2012 Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival (AKA Sketchfest) continues it’s second weekend tonight with sixteen groups performing on four stages (The Thrust, The Pro, The Box, The Cab) at Stage 773.
The snow is here but Sketchfest attendees won’t let that stop them. Dress warm.
If you want to be uncomfortable and maybe even offended, see FUCT this weekend.
These are my picks for tonight.

The 2012 Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival (AKA Sketchfest) closes out the first of two weekends today with 24 groups performing on four stages (The Thrust, The Pro, The Box, The Cab) at Stage 773.
Shows begin at 3pm today so if you get an early start you can get brunch, cram in 6 hours of comedy and still be home in time to watch some TV before bed.

The 2012 Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival (AKA Sketchfest) continues tonight with sixteen groups performing on four stages (The Thrust, The Pro, The Box, The Cab) at Stage 773.
If last night was any indication this Sketchfest will be as packed as ever before. Prepare for crowds and occasionally spilling out onto the sidewalk for some fresh air. At least it’s not crazy cold this year.
These are my picks for tonight.

The 2012 Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival (AKA Sketchfest) begins tonight with twelve groups performing on four stages (The Thrust, The Pro, The Box, The Cab) at Stage 773.
Sketchfest is a great way to see the best sketch comedy groups from Chicago and beyond over the course of two exciting weekends. Shows sell out. Get tickets early.
There are 76 performances this weekend so there are many choices and it can be a little overwhelming but I’ve done my homework and can help. Here are my picks for each time slot tonight:
