So what did everybody think of the huge international comedy festival that just blew through town?
Or did you notice?

Saw some amazingly clever performances at Best of Sketchfest Friday (would not have complained had Bob been on stage more).
Mom and I both enjoyed seeing the Showalter show last night (Kumail and Jessi Klein!!!!)
The end.
thursday night was one of the best nights of my life.

I wish I could've made more Lakeshore shows, but the Lincoln Lodge was fun as hell.
I thought the shows I saw were all fantastic - Smigel and Stamatopoulos, Bob and David, Showalter, Best of Sketchfest. I really enjoyed seeing Dino and Robert Smigel - interesting, informative, AND funny! Also, Kumail Nanjiani and Jessi Klein were hilarious at the Showalter show, as were Team Submarine at the Bob and David show.
I saw the Nasty Show and it was really incredible. The Lincoln Lodge Homecoming was incredible as well. I especially enjoyed seeing Kyle Kinane and Team Submarine do a long sets because I was pretty unfamiliar with their work. Kyle had a guy who appeared to be homeless come on and read a poem about Kyle Kinane. The crowd that night were weird, idiot, assholes but the comedians all did great. Even those who ate it.
Plus, I sold some free Fallon Tickets for 80 bucks! Sweeeeet!

I heard a few cameras/cameraphones going at Odenkirk's Best of Sketchfest at iO the first night, when David Cross was there - anyone care to share?

Thanks, Kyle! I had no idea he was so established.
Looks like George Lopez is "Receipt Tippin'."
you can't really taste the garlic enough to make it worth it unless you get a white pizza.
