This obviously is a lot more than just a sketchfest. Your eyes probably caught a gander at the fact that there’s a reunion of the Freeks and Geeks cast, a Kids in the Hall show, old boys from MST3K in action, and an evening with Dr. Katz — in addition to all of the other great performers on the bills.
It all kicks off Jan. 10 with the opening night show and party, which features Aimee Mann, Paul F. Tompkins, Todd Barry, Rhys Darby and hosts Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal.
If you’re like me and cannot spend all 18 days in San Francisco for the fest, then you’re at least like me and wishing you could make it happen, for at least a couple of days. Where are you now when I need you, Santa???
