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: KML Tends Bar
This summer, experience the best of both worlds! You get a cocktail created by a harried KML staffer, and your tips go to benefit Killing My Lobster, San Francisco's premiere sketch comedy nonprofit since 1997.
Wednesday, June 24th, 6 - 9pm will be the first of a summer series of cocktail-fueled fundraisers at our favorite historic saloon! Killing My Lobster sketch comedians will be stepping behind the bar at Elixir SF, mixing delicious cocktails and mocktails (with the support of a bartender, thankfully). All tip proceeds will go toward supporting KML's mission: creating fast, smart, fearless, and inclusive sketch comedy that makes people laugh.
