Killing my lobster

We make sketch comedy. That’s short, scripted scenes, written and rehearsed in advanced—all to make people laugh. Not quite stand-up, and not quite improv (which is made up on the spot), sketch comedy has a long, proud, and delightfully ridiculous tradition dating back to vaudeville. And no one does it better than Killing My Lobster, who've been killing it (pun absolutely intended) in San Francisco for over 25 years!
