[Finnias Jones]

Meh…

Just kidding. That's an awesome line-up. I've got to get my finances in order…

[Liezl]

oh goddamnit... why must you be so fantastic. WHY.

[strangeinterlude]

That is INSANE. Kind of wish I'd waited a few months to move to LA. Time to start planning a trip home.

[Babs]

I can't believe my name is on that thing.

I am so honored and so FUCKING EXCITED

[Liezl]

One day I hope you do One Two Punch up there, so more people can see Dave Christenson in that blue spandex bodysuit.

[JulyDiaz]

I love that there are so many podcast shows!

[Grant Pardee]

Like Babs, I also cannot believe my name is up there. I think I am going to attend literally everything. HEY IVAN HERNANDEZ I AM CRASHING WITH YOU DAWG PLEASE (this is the only way i know how to communicate with you)

EDIT: also everyone needs to see Dave in his bodysuit everyone everywhere

[rdemint]

Oh shit! This is amazing!

[scamboogah]

Totally amazing (that Eliot Gould is still alive. Who knew?)

[Babs]

One day I hope you do One Two Punch up there, so more people can see Dave Christenson in that blue spandex bodysuit.

Omygod. I must make this happen.

[J.B.]

Beth Stelling

Of course the whole line-up is great... but you are a dumb person with low morals if you miss Beth Stelling.

(she's left Chicago, right?)

[DJ Sam]

Gaaaaah! Damn me not doing my podcast, now I need to find another excuse to weasel in to these amazing shows!

[dan telfer]

Of course the whole line-up is great... but you are a dumb person with low morals if you miss Beth Stelling.

(she's left Chicago, right?)

About 6 months ago, yes.

[Steven_M]

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!

If you only check out one show, Kasper Hauser at the Academy of Sciences is going to be amazing!

Not to mention Spiegelman and Laundry basket!!!!

I was sad to see Sweet Gail didn't make the Rooftop list.

[Liezl]

Gaaaaah! Damn me not doing my podcast, now I need to find another excuse to weasel in to these amazing shows!

convince Maron to be a special guest on every single one of these shows.

[katarokkar]

So excited to be apart of this. It's going to be a fun one.

[ChristineETaylor]

Don't waste your valuable time wading hip-high through amazingness to find out which podcasts are going to be at Sketchfest this year!

[Barrera]

This would only be better if they were doing ASSSSCAT there...uh...all four...really...UCB! And every other comic I want to see? And the greatest things ever?
