Sketchstock Photos!

Our picture gallery is up, but is woefully incomplete; We have photos of most acts from Night 2 and Night 3, and none from Night 1, so if you’ve got pics to contribute of acts that we’re missing, drop us a line.

Thanks!

Sketchstock Aftermath

First of all, I want to say it on as many places on this website as I can: All the performers, volunteers, and audience members at Sketchstock 3000 were unbelievably awesome.

Second of all, I’d like to make sure the following milestones don’t go unnoticed…

A) Saturday the 27th marked AWOK’s tenth show. (Or 12th, if you want to count tiny emcee bits we performed Thursday and Friday. Regardless, let’s just say that sometime over the weekend, we did a show that counted as our tenth.)

B) A curious thing happened Saturday, which hadn’t happened before in my memory, which is that once or twice during our set, we got hearty applause at the beginnings of sketches, especially the Thumblettes. Presumably, this is because a certain segment of the audience must have recognized the sketch we had just started, and were happy about it. Does that make us rock stars now? All signs point to yes.

C) This weekend was living proof of what is now the Central Pillar of the AWOK Comedy Philosophy. That Pillar is: “It’s funny when Chris from Fearsome does a cameo.”

Anyway, thanks everybody. Since July 30th, we’ve just plain had the coolest month in our history, and everyone’s responsible.
And now that the market has been saturated with AWOK shows, we’ll be taking it pretty easy in September and getting a lot of new writing done. Stay tuned to the blog and front page for news as we solidify more details about a run we’ll be negotiating for a brand-new show, which will probably be Tuesdays in October.

“Monumental Upcoming Week for Sketch Comedy? (Welcome, Apiary readers!)

Hey, a hearty welcome to everyone who found their way here via The Apiary. I have to heartily agree with them that this is going to be a fantastic weekend for New Yorkers who likes their sketch comedy. (The Apiary itself being a really cool website for people who want to know stuff about cool NYC comedy shows.)

If you haven’t already, take a look at how sweet the Sketchstock 3000 line-up is. It’s even more complete now than it was when the Apiary made his post, and we’re even more excited.

Please come out to this thing, people. We’ve packed a lot of fun into each of these shows, and with the weekend pass option, you can’t do much better than $5 for a comedy show.
