Sketchworks Comedy

Since 2001, Sketchworks Comedy has been entertaining audiences with sharp, original sketch comedy through sold-out live shows and popular online videos. Unlike improvisational comedy, Sketchworks focuses on carefully written, rehearsed, and produced scenes and characters.

Brian has been the owner and producer of Sketchworks Comedy since 2016. He joined the main stage company in 2011 and began directing in 2014.

You can find Sketchworks content on their YouTube channel, including Sketchworks NewsBrake — their long-running weekly satirical take on current events.
