Meet SKETCH ARMSTRONG

SKETCH ARMSTRONG was formed by a group of talented Second City Conservatory graduates in Los Angeles. Their first show, Passion II: Double Crossed!, played to packed houses at The Second City in Los Angeles and The McCadden Theater in Hollywood. They had a great run of their second show, Go People Go!, at Second City before playing to a riotous, sold out crowd in a Comedy Central Showcase Performance at The Comedy Central Stage. They followed that up with an extended run of their third show, Iraq, Paper, Scissors at Second City; before taking it to the UCB Theater in Hollywood. They completed a run of their fourth show, The End Of Days at Second City, and just completed a run of their new show Go People Go! at IO West in Hollywood, followed by a showcase performance at The Comedy Central Stage. They have also appeared at The Garage Comedy Show, M-Bar, the See You Next Tuesday Show at UCB, The Comedy Cocktail Show at Hollywood & Highland, The 2007 San Francisco SketchFest and The 2008 Sacramento All Sketch Festival. Their short film, Insight Into The Enemy, was selected for the 2006 HBO Aspen Comedy Arts Festival, and the 2006 Montreal Comedy Festival, where it was also selected for a special "Best Of Fest" screening; and it was included as part of The HBO Comedy Festival Best Shorts of 2006 screening at the American Cinematheque in Hollywood. The group recorded a Go People Go! song for the upcoming National Lampoon Comedy Album. The group appears regularly throughout Los Angeles.

After winning several awards in his native state and screen-testing for Austin Powers: Goldmember, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in comedy.
