Written by Strangers featuring Sketch and Release is a sketch comedy show built on one simple rule: the performers did not write the sketches they’re about to perform.
Each show features two brand-new sketch teams. One team writes an original set of sketches, then hands them off to the other team — who must bring them to life onstage with no creative ownership, no rewrites, and no safety net. And then the roles reverse.
Guided by Push Comedy Theater veterans serving as directors and mentors, Written by Strangers is part showcase, part experiment, and part creative trust fall. The result is a fast, funny, SNL-style sketch show full of fresh voices, bold choices, and surprising interpretations you won’t see anywhere else.
Come watch what happens when new writers let go… and new performers take the leap.
