On Saturday, March 23, Killing My Lobster performed sketches written by students in our recent comedy writing workshop where we partnered with 826 Valencia here in the Mission District. The workshop series was taught by Gina Bardi, Millie DeBenedet, and Meghann Hayes. The final performance was a huge hit! A mega huge hit! There were big laughs all around. It was a great end to the series of winter workshops that were held at 826 Valencia, and an even better way to usher in spring!

Current Lobsters and the Lobsters of the Future!

The uproarious clapping continued!

We’ve brought our dresses to the dry cleaners. We’ve put our fake moustaches away. We’re still glowing from our fundriaser. There were piñatas, salsa dancers, silent auction items, a photo booth, a DJ, and an MC. We even have the photos to prove it (coming soon!) Thank you so much for coming out to boogie down and support KML!

Here’s to another 15 years – and beyond! Check out what the place looked like night-of the event:

Guest MC, Marga Gomez killing it up on stage!

We’re Back! Killing My Lobster Performs 2 Shows in SF Sketchfest 2012

To say we are excited about performing in SF Sketchfest 2012 would be an understatement! KML will be performing our “Best of Show 2011” show. You’ll see the best sketches and videos from 2011, plus we’ll be premiering a brand new comedy video, and dusting off a “Greatest Hit” sketch from 2006’s “KML Faces The Music”!  Also, our musical accompaniment for both shows will be the wildly popular and hilarious band, The Boneless Children Foundation.

The Huffington Post picked KML as a “Highlight” from this year’s SF Sketchfest! Read
all about it here.

On January 28^th, we are honored to be the opening act for Rick Overton’s new show “Substitute Global Ambassador”.  Come see us open with a 30-minute set and stay for Rick’s hilarious new show!

The show will be recorded by Sirius Radio and The
Raw Dog Comedy Channel for a later
broadcast, so let your laughter be heard!

Also check us out in San Francisco Magazine!

On February 1^st, we are HEADLINING and will treat you to a full hour set from the best sketches and videos of our 2011 shows! Our “Best Of Show 2011” show includes sketches about sexy butter churning, to murder on a chessboard, to a typical dysfunctional family celebrating Arbor Day. Not to mention a few of our best videos from last year. This is going to be a great night and we are pleased to be working with the comedy act “Thunderstood”.

This weekend, KML is turning a collector’s eye toward the past 12 years of sketch material, unearthing lost gems from the archives. Killing My Lobster B-Sides debuts sketches once deemed too raw and raucous for the great unwashed. But now they’re aged to perfection and ready for our die-hard fans—otherwise known as the discerning comedy intelligentsia. Or nerds. Soon-to-be-classic tracks include Crazy Colonists, Meat Murderers, Not-well-hung Hitler, San Quentin Prison Paintings, and Hookers… er, Ladies of the Night. Get grooving to the B-sides or B-bye.

WHERE: Southside Theater, Fort Mason – Bldg. D, SF
WHEN: November 6—8, 2009, 8:00pm — one weekend only!
