The first two years of Carolina Sketchfest sold out 370+ seats in advance! The 2015 edition brings three of the hottest sketch comedy groups in the country to the Asheville Community Theatre Mainstage to perform best-of sets on March 28th.
These award-winning comedy groups from Chicago, Atlanta and Michigan are making their Asheville debut.
Carolina Sketchfest 3 is hosted by Asheville’s own #1 voted comedy group, The Feral Chihuahuas.
Founded in 2003, The Feral Chihuahuas sketch comedy troupe has performed over 150 shows in the Asheville area…everywhere from proper theaters to smoky bars. However, their most committed following erupted humbly in a two-car garage in Asheville, North Carolina. The members, who at that time lived together, took it upon themselves to convert the simple building into a small black box theater that would seat about twenty-three. Their first season in “The Shed”, as it’s affectionately known, built to some success, where even in the cold of December crowds of up to thirty would pile into “The Shed” with some even shivering outside peeking through the windows to watch the show. The second season in “The Shed” grew an even larger following where the last three weeks of performances saw as many as seventy people per show crowding around the garage to catch a glimpse of the funny. With parking at a premium and the neighbors beginning to complain, it was time for an upgrade.
Tickets cost $20. Complimentary beer from Asheville Brewing Co. is included in the ticket price (21+ only), and proceeds will go to support local non-profit Brother Wolf Animal Rescue.
