Why sponsor Killing My Lobster?

Killing My Lobster is one of San Francisco’s favorite comedy groups. Over 1500 people attend each Killing My Lobster production and thousands more read about the festival in the local press, see posters and flyers distributed throughout the Bay Area and visit the group’s website: www.killingmylobster.com. And, in 2005-06 Killing My Lobster is reaching new audiences nationwide through touring presentations to New York and Los Angeles and distribution of Killing My Lobster comedy show DVDs.

What is Killing My Lobster all about?

Since 1997 Killing My Lobster has been presenting hip, smart, irreverent, cutting edge live theater and short films to audiences in the Bay Area and around the world. The group is a non-profit and is made up of 25 actors, writers, musicians, filmmakers, designers and artists all committed to making San Francisco  a great place to create and see original art.

The group has been hailed as:

"An orgy of comic genius!"  -Comedy Central on-line

"In a city of jokers these situational comedians are among the very finest."  - San Francisco Chronicle

"Chicago may be the epicenter of sketch comedy, but Killing My Lobster has the potential to put San Francisco on the map." - SF Weekly

“The hottest and most consistent sketch group working in the Bay Area.”
-Contra Costa Times

"Laugh-out-loud hilarious through and through. Cleverly written and inventively performed. World domination – or at least a series on Comedy Central – won’t be long in coming." -San Francisco Bay Guardian
