SKETCHHAUS

What's Sketchhaus? Imagine if Saturday Night Live and The Kids In the Hall had a baby, and that baby grew up awesome and hilarious, and showed up every Thursday at 9:30 at ImprovBoston. Wouldn't you want to see that baby? You bet you would. Sketchhaus is the best, most diverse sketch comedy night in the universe. More specifically Boston. Most specifically Cambridge.
