What’s funnier than a live reading of “Napoleon Dynamite” with Jon Heder and Efren Ramirez? Maybe Tim Curry reminiscing with Peaches Christ about his iconic roles, or Bill Murray jamming with his band Blood Brothers. Whatever your comedic taste, SF Sketchfest 2025 has something that will leave you in stitches.
