MTL Sketchfest: Opening Night!!!

Get ready for the ultimate celebration of “scripted” sketch comedy in Montreal! Montréal Sketchfest is back and bigger than ever in 2024, featuring top-notch artists from across North America. This year’s festival promises to be jam-packed with laughs and non-stop entertainment that you won’t want to miss. IT IS OUR 17TH ANNIVERSARY AFTER ALL – soon we won’t need our fake IDs anymore!

 

ALASDAIR TREMBLAY-BIRCHALL (Melbourne/MTL)

Alasdair Tremblay-Birchall is one half of the sketch idea podcast Two in the Think Tank, which he does with Andy Matthews. Andy and Al have performed several sketch shows together, plus two longer form sketch shows as engineers (Magma, Teleport) and one as avant garde lawyers (“My” “Client” “Is” “Innocent”). They are currently apart because Al moved to Montreal.

FIELD TRIP (Boston)

Field Trip is a Boston-based sketch comedy trio whose sets have been described as “refreshingly positive,” “surprisingly touching,” “cured my IBS,” and “not for me.” Since 2022, they’ve been delighting audiences with their signature brand of fast-paced, smart-dumb humor. Field Trip does shows all over New England, and they’ve performed at NYC Sketch Fest, Portland Maine Comedy Festival, and the Portland (Oregon) Sketch Comedy Festival. Hand in your permission slips and buckle up for a journey of goofs, gaffes, gabs, jabs, and most of all, well-timed comedic jokes delivered in a scripted format. We’re going on a Field Trip!

PEACOCK PEAHEN FAMILY REVIEWS (Montreal)

Jacques P. Coq and his mom Jacqueline P. Hen just love movies ❤️. They each have their own review style and personal bickering style when they review together. Jacques loves to hate watch and nitpicks and doesn’t hide things well. Jacqueline loves to put movies on a pedestal and nitpick and criticize Jacques about when he’s going to move out. Together they make one functioning movie review person. They find more entertainment in the lives they live than the movies they watch and sometimes that joy matches. They love to disagree but they also love being part of this family.

GRACE AND THE GANG (DC)

Grace and the Gang is a sketch comedy group run by Grace Fennell, an actor, improvisor, and writer based in Washington, DC. Grace and the Gang offers a unique brand of comedy that plays with a mix of clowning, situational comedy, and whatever dumb thing Grace thinks is funny that day.
