Norm MacDonald
From "Saturday Night Live"

Perhaps best known for his offbeat delivery of "the fake news" on "Saturday Night Live" for five seasons, Norm MacDonald continues to be a major comedic presence. Aside from his notable characterizations of Bob Dole and Burt Reynolds on “SNL,” MacDonald proved that his acerbic wit and writing were not to be contained to just the small screen. He starred in and co-wrote the film Dirty Work, and provided the voice of Lucky the Dog in Dr. Doolittle. Macdonald also had roles in Billy Madison with Adam Sandler and in The People Vs. Larry Flint.

MacDonald’s other feature film projects include Screwed and the 1999 Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon, and he also served as a writer for the hit ABC series “Roseanne.” He continues to regularly tour the country performing his popular stand-up comedy.

David Alan Grier
From Comedy Central's "Chocolate News"

After a succession of movie character roles and TV guest spots, David Alan Grier was cast in Keenan Ivory Wayans' tribute to the "Blaxploitation" film I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. Soon after, Grier became one of the original ensemble players on Wayans' TV series "In Living Color.” Grier's memorable characterizations for the landmark series include Antoine Merriwether, the non-bald half of the "Men On..." sketches and a less than kind impression of Muhammad Ali.

Grier’s many film credits include Jumanji, the film adaptation of the TV show Bewitched and the 80s cult classic Amazon Women From the Moon. He also had a notable role in writer-director-star Mario Van Peebles' "Baadassss!" and has guest-starred on numerous television shows including “Premium Blend” and “Crank Yankers” on Comedy Central, “Letterman,” and “MadTV.” Most recently, David Alan Grier stars as the host of the new show “Chocolate News” on Comedy Central.

SF Sketchfest Presents:
The SF Sketchfest Comedy Writing Award

Robert Smigel in conversation with Dana Carvey

SF Sketchfest is honored to present its first ever Comedy Writing Award to Saturday Night Live, TV Funhouse and Dana Carvey Show scribe Robert Smigel, who will be joined by frequent collaborator Dana Carvey for a conversation and Q&A. Smigel first established himself as a writer on Saturday Night Live when Lorne Michaels returned as executive producer for the 1985-1986 season. Smigel wrote many memorable sketches, including Bill Swerkski’s Superfans (Da Bears!) and one where host William Shatner urged worshipful attendees at a Star Trek convention to "get a life."

Smigel later became the first head writer at Late Night with Conan O'Brien, where he created numerous successful comedy bits, including one where Smigel performed only the lips of public figures which were superimposed on photos of the actual people (Bill Clinton and Arnold Swarzenegger proving the most fertile go-to characters). Smigel's most famous creation, however, is the foul-mouthed puppet Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog, who mercilessly mocks celebrities and others in the style of a Borscht Belt comedian. Smigel also wrote and performed on the short-lived Dana Carvey Show.

Smigel continued to establish himself on Saturday Night Live by producing infamous, provocative, short animated segments under the title TV Funhouse, which usually satirizes public figures and popular culture. It spawned a TV show on Comedy Central featuring a mix of puppets, animation, and short sketches. Although only eight episodes were aired (during the winter of 2000 - 2001) Smigel continued to create TV Funhouse segments for Saturday Night Live and occasionally appears in films (usually alongside SNL veterans such as Adam Sandler).

SF Sketchfest Presents:
Celebrity Autobiography

Michael McKean, Annette O'Toole, Rachel Dratch,
Scott Thompson,
Laraine Newman, Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte
and co-creators Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel

"Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words" is the brainchild of Eugene Pack. As Pack explains, "I would listen to a lot of books-on-tape, particularly autobiographies, and was astounded at what people would write about. If I got a hold of one of the books, I'd read it out loud to a friend, and they'd insist I was making it up….but people actually wrote these words. I thought that putting the material up in front of an audience would be extremely entertaining."

One night, Pack had access to a comedy space and asked a group of fellow performers and comedians to bring in excerpts of autobiographies that were not necessarily written to be funny. The evening was an instant success---and it soon became a monthly performance piece, co-hosted and co-produced by Dayle Reyfel. After covering over 300 different bios, "In Their Own Words" is never short of material because every week, someone else has written their life story!

SF Sketchfest welcomes co-creators Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel, and guest orators Michael McKean (This is Spinal Tap), Annette O’Toole (Smallville), Rachel Dratch (Saturday Night Live), Will Forte (Saturday Night Live), Jason Sudeikis (Saturday Night Live), Scott Thompson (The Kids in the Hall) and Laraine Newman (Saturday Night Live).

Stand Up Spotlight
featuring
Doug Benson & Sean Cullen

Doug Benson finished in the top six on NBC's “Last Comic Standing” and is a series regular on VH-1’s “Best Week Ever.” He also makes recurring appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “The Sarah Silverman Program” and has his own half-hour special on Comedy Central. Doug has also made numerous guest appearances including on shows such as “Friends” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and has performed on “The Late Late Show,” “Premium Blend” and countless others.

Doug was also one of the creators/writers/stars of “The Marijuana-Logues,” a show that’s been a hit (small pun intended) in clubs and theatres from Los Angeles to New York—and drew a bongload of rave reviews. Now there’s a CD, also called The Marijuana-Logues, and a book, The Marijuana-Logues: Everything About Pot That We Could Remember. In 2006, High Times Magazine named Doug the “Stoner of The Year,” and most recently he starred in the documentary "Super High Me."

Sean Cullen combines stream of consciousness improv with uncanny mimicry and broad musical talents to create a style that is his and his alone. Once a member of seminal Canadian group Corky and the Juice Pigs, Sean has gone on to be a finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” and has appeared on shows including “The Ellen Show,” “The Tonight Show” and “The Late Late Show,” as well as his own “Comedy Central Presents” special. He also starred in his own television series “The Sean Cullen Show” on the CBC.

From Comedy Central's "Insomniac"

Born in Queens and raised on Long Island, Dave Attell got into stand-up comedy in the late eighties after graduating from New York University with a degree in Film and Television.

His caustic wit, rapid-fire delivery and his choice of material that can best be described as "very adult" has earned him the reputation as a "comic's comic." In 2001, Attell used this love of booze and laughter to create and host the hit series, "Insomniac with Dave Attell,” which ran until 2004 on Comedy Central.

Attell has made numerous appearances on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Late Night with Conan O'Brien,” “The Howard Stern Show,” “Later with Carson Daly” and “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”.

Paula Poundstone
Star of multiple HBO specials and a Cable Ace Award winner

Paula Poundstone is famous for her razor-sharp wit and spontaneity. Her first one-hour HBO special, “Cats, Cops, and Stuff,” made her the first woman to ever receive the Cable ACE award for best standup comedy special. She also starred in a self-titled talk show series on HBO for which she won her second Cable ACE Award.

In 1992, Poundstone filed memorable field commentary of the Presidential Election for the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” This led to her own show on ABC, aptly named, “The Paula Poundstone Show,” and behind-the-scenes coverage of that year’s EMMY Awards. Paula’s first book, There’s Nothing In This Book That I Meant To Say, is part memoir, part monologue, and features biographies of legendary historical figures including Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc and Sitting Bull, among others. BRAVO recently premiered Paula’s newest standup comedy special: “Paula Poundstone: Look What the Cat Dragged In.” She has also appeared on Garrison Keillor's “A Prairie Home Companion,” “Late Night with David Letterman,” ”Sesame Street,” “To Tell The Truth” and “Comic Relief.”

Ralphie May
From "Last Comic Standing"

Veteran comedian Ralphie May’s popularity exploded after the success of the first season of “Last Comic Standing.” Long-time fans of Ralphie were joined by countless new fans when America thought he was robbed of the winner’s title. Despite the show’s outcome, Ralphie’s special brand of comedy combines the familiar elements of hip-hop and topical comedy with a dash of southern down-home flavor and quick wit, making him one of the most popular comedians in the country. His first DVD, appropriately titled “Just Correct,” went platinum!

His special brand of humor and incredible timing has allowed Ralphie to cross social, cultural, and ethnic barriers and has earned him roles in such films as “For Da Love of Money” and “Gas.” Ralphie has worked as an actor, writer and producer on ESPN's “Mohr Sports” starring Jay Mohr and made multiple appearances on “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” He has also appeared on “Tough Crowd,” “The Man Show” and MTV’s “Bash,” as well as in guest-starring roles on numerous television shows. In an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” he received a standing ovation, the first comedian in 10 years to receive this honor.
