Philly Sketchfest returns for a two-night celebration on October 21-22, 2022 with acts from Philadelphia, New York City, Toronto, Chicago, Virginia, Greensboro, Chicago, and Washington DC. Crossroads Comedy Theater is this year's presenting partner. This block features Seann Cantatore & Joe Moore's Explodin' Halloween Garage.
ABOUT SEANN CANTATORE: Seann Cantatore is an NYC-based musical comedian, absurdist, and professional kind person who regularly performs music, sketch and improv both as a solo act and as half of the comedy duo “Bring Your Own Bob.” Seann has been sighted at NYC’s Magnet Theater, The People’s Improv Theater, The Duplex, Broadway Comedy Club, and most recently made her DC debut at The DC Improv! This is Seann Cantatore’s debut at Philly Sketchfest.
ABOUT JOE MOORE'S EXPLODIN' HALLOWEEN GARAGE: Over the last year, Joe Moore stopped doing anything other than writing and recording lo-fi novelty Halloween music. He now presents those songs live and in Hi-Fi with a band of monsters known as the Explodin’ Halloween Garage. Bring your dancing shoes. Joe Moore has performed at Philly Sketchfest as a solo act in 2013; with Dog Mountain in 2013, 2016, and 2017; and with Steve Swan in 2018 and 2019.
