San Francisco has such a rich history of comedy. No one can argue against that.
In this bonus episode, meet SF Sketchfest co-founder and co-director Cole Stratton. I chatted with Cole about:
- his early days in Michigan and his and his mom's move to Davis, CA
- going to SF State, moving to The City
- meeting folks (David Owen and Janet Varney) with whom he later helped create Sketchfest
- how his desire to act drove him to Los Angeles, where he lives today
- the sketch crew he was in, which lead to the festival
- the 2002 launch of SF Sketchfest
- this year's 18-day event, which kicks off tonight!

We recorded this podcast on Zoom in January 2025.
