There was some pretty cool stuff here. It was kinda introspective in it's format so that you got a look at the after-party of a comedy show or festival... or behind the scenes when hearing a rant from Lewis Black... or an interview from Ricky Gervais. Kind of the guts behind the show itself for those in comedy. While there are funny parts to the whole thing, It wasn't in a format like you're listening to stand-up routines. It was more of a look from the other side of the curtain.

A nice little episode but more interesting than it was funny in my opinion. I would listen to more episodes if they made more. A short listen at a little less than an hour,

An interesting behind the scenes look

Would you consider the audio edition of VIP Pass: SF Sketchfest to be better than the print version?

Yes, comedy is best spoken out loud.

Have you listened to any of the narrator’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I will now. loved Dan Savage, Ricky Gervais.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Lots of laughs

Would you listen to VIP Pass: SF Sketchfest again? Why?

Yeah, there are some great jokes peppered through and I think will definitely be fun repeated listening or background content while I'm doing chores, etc.

Who was your favorite character and why?

MARIA BAMFORD and JANEANE GAROFALO! I'm very happy they got those two on there, they're comedians I really love listening to on and off stage for their unique perspectives and you don't get to hear them talk off stage all that often.

Also, the SKLAR BROTHERS! What a tour de force of comedy and they had a great scene.

What about the narrator’s performance did you like?

There's so many different narrators I don't think you can really comment on this too much.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yeah, an hour piece is such a great consumable thing.

Any additional comments?

Please make more! I'd love one from Just For Laughs, Moontower, Limestone, etc. Maybe also different types of festivals as well!

A really fun slice of a Fest and interviews!
