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 since 1997!

Next Up: Karaoke Nightz @ Z - 4/13
Let me tell you something about Lobsters: we love karaoke. So we decided to hijack the Karaoke Nightz at Z Space to raise funds to support the Killing My Lobster + Z Space partnership.
In the midst of a difficult time in the arts, Killing My Lobster, San Francisco’s #1 sketch comedy theatre troupe, and Z Space, SF’s leading home for bold new works, are joining forces, sharing resources, and mashing our nonprofit powers together.
If you think that’s pretty cool, join us April 13th, 7 - 11pm, and cut loose while belting out your favorite tunes with your friends at Killing My Lobster in our judgement free zone—all while supporting a great cause!
