we did our best to capture as much of the magic as we could in our own fleeting way through the power of some microphones, a Macbook, and maybe a little something called The Power of Love (or maybe it was “I Want a New Drug”, it’s hard to remember).

SKETCHFESTNYC is back, New York! So get yourselves to the UCB this Thursday for a three-day bender of sketch bits and bobs. All week long The Apiary is spotlighting a few of the SFNYC performers and producers, all of whom traded at least a portion of their souls for the Written Word of Comedy.

The schedule has been announced for Sketchfest NYC, now in its 6th year, running June 10th through the 12th at The UCB Theater.
