by SketchFest NYC announced today that it would return to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre for its seventh annual celebration of sketch comedy, with performances, panels and more to come from June 9-11, 2011.
"We're very happy to host SketchFest NYC again this year,” said UCB Artistic Director Anthony King. “Like the swallows of San Juan Capistrano, we have no idea where the sketch groups go all year, but each June they find their way back. And we're always thrilled to have them build their dirt nests at the UCB Theatre."
“We’ve had great success holding the Festival at UCB the past few years, so we’re extremely excited to return for year seven,” added SketchFest NYC Executive Producer Alex Zalben. “Like the Harry Potter movies, in Year Seven… The End Begins Here. No, wait, that’s not right.”
SketchFest NYC is sponsored by The Onion, The Sound of Young America, and UCB Comedy, with more sponsors to be announced.
