AUSTIN SKETCH FESTAbout this Event
Jackie Skinner’s solo character show, Lies We Tell Ourselves, is a delightful half hour of form-bending characters, impressions, music, stand-up, and more. Selected as one of Timeout New York’s “Top things to do this weekend” April 2022, Jackie is excited to bring this show back out on the road... Directed by Eric Feurer.
She performed with the Magnet Theater weekend sketch team, The Executives, and ran her solo show Lies We Tell Ourselves at UCB Hell’s Kitchen, PIT Solocom, Improv Boston, Chicago Sketchfest and more. She has been studying improv since Fall 2014 at the Hideout and Institution theaters in Austin, Second City in Chicago, and Magnet in NYC. Having also studied sketch comedy at Second City, she has written and performed sketch at NYC's Magnet and Reckless theaters. In addition to sketch and improv, Jackie can be seen performing stand-up comedy in NYC. She's performed shows and festivals all over the US, including the Boston Comedy Arts Festival, iO Chicago Comedy Festival, Seattle’s Highlarious Festival, and Funniest Person in Austin…to name a few.
John Norris presents:
It’s a solo show. A clown show. Absurd. Simple. Stupid. Fun. It’s terrible. An important waste of your time. It’s great. Please strongly consider all of this information before coming.
showcases the best scripted comedy from Austin and the wilderness beyond. Austin Sketch Fest is produced, booked, and organized by ColdTowne Theater.

Tompkins, Latino Comedy Project, Joe Wengert, Brent Weinbach, Master Pancake Theater, Vanessa Gonzalez, Mary Jo Pehl, and many more groups from NYC, Chicago, LA, Seattle, Portland, Dallas and Austin (of course).
Brace yourselves comedy-music lovers. Neil Dorsey's thicc stanky beats and dumb absurdist rhymes are guaranteed to make you laugh so hard you'll never do drugs again.
Kyle Irion Performs:
Academy Award-watching actor, writer, and martial artist J. Gylenhaal brings his experience and talent to the masses for ONE NIGHT ONLY to sculpt the unformed clay that is you, the non-actor, into something more beautiful--an actor.
