Philly Sketchfest was created in 2008 to celebrate sketch comedy in the City of Brotherly Love. Over the years, Philly Sketchfest has brought some of the best sketch comedians to Philadelphia. In addition to live shows, Philly Sketchfest also produces a podcast, My First Sketch, hosted by Josh Higham, available wherever you get your podcasts.
Description
Philly Sketchfest presents Mean Wendy Band (from Philly), Rails Comedy (from Washington DC), and Cam Wyllie (from Toronto)!
The Mean Wendy Band is a folk-rock-do-wap-a-cappella-ragtime-sing-a-long musical sketch comedy group fronted by singer, Wendy Lenhart. She is accompanied, as always, by her cool Man Band of Ryan T. Barlow, Brian Kelly, Dan Kristie and Zachary Wiseley. Together they write & perform original music. Mean Wendy Band has performed throughout greater Philadelphia, New York City and even "down the shore" as a returning artist at the Ladybug Festival in Milford, DE. They have been finalists and received honorable mentions in the International Songwriting Competition and even had their hit quarantine song, "6 Feet Closer to You" featured on WHYY radio. Their latest album, "Live from Five Bathrooms'' is available wherever you stream your favorite music.
Rails Comedy presents a sketch comedy show that skewers pop culture, pokes fun at politics, and makes you laugh with silly sketches. We feature characters, traditional sketches, and musical comedy jam-packed into one tight-knit show.
He's coming in hot with a carefully curated selection of brave, tragic, and gleefully dumb characters who, like him, are just trying to do their best. Armed with a passable singing voice, a can do attitude, and the odd tinfoil prop, he'll give you plenty of reasons to laugh, cheer, and get invested. Open your heart to the hilarious, often surreal, and always unpredictable world of Cam Wyllie.
