SKETCH ARMSTRONG performs regularly throughout Los Angeles. They have appeared at The Second City, The Comedy Central Stage, The UCB Theater, IO West, The Garage Comedy Show, M-Bar, and The Comedy Cocktail Show at Hollywood & Highland; as well as The San Francisco SketchFest, and The Sacramento All Sketch Festival. Check out some of their more recent shows below.
SKETCH ARMSTRONG'S fifth show was the long-anticipated Go
People Go! Straight outta' Tallahassee, Florida, and straight
into the IO West in Hollywood, the show featured the group's greatest
hits, including "Because God Said So", "Iraqi Christmas
Song" and "Why Don't You Stop Being Gay" that had
the the un-churched crowd entranced, enchanted and even "laughing
in tongues." They're George Bush's favorite Christian Folk
Band. Go People Go! - The Antidote to the Antichrist!
SKETCH ARMSTRONG'S fourth show featured the return of Christian folk sensation Go People Go!. The group that brought you Iraqi Christmas Song and We Can Do it Because God Says So, took it to another level with their joyously apocalyptic Revelation Song! The show also featured the longest hostage negotiation ever recorded in The Hostage Negotiator, the twisted office politics and not-so-secret personal lives of My Space Office, Adam Sandler, William H. Macy, Sara Silverman and, of course, Frank Stallone in the twisted game show Celebrity Russian Roulette, and a cynical take on Divine Intervention in God Has a Plan. The group also debuted three new videos - Vigantic!, Proposition 275, and Drouche, which was selected for the 2006 LA Sketch Festival.
Iraq, Paper, Scissors was SKETCH ARMSTRONG'S third new show in less than a year. The show featured the comically inept interrogators of Guantanamo, the creepy, Orwellian tones of Typing Test, the dark, comic secrets of Wedding Objectors, and Charlie in the Box once again taking on right-wing host Phil O'Malley - this time debating stem cell research with the bombastic Reverend Billy Ray Hargis. The group also explored the delicate nature of humor in the intellectual Kristin Poops and the twisted Terrorist Comedian, and left the crowd singing and clapping along with everyone's favorite misguided Christian Folk Group Go People Go!. The show also featured the group's Insight Into The Enemy - selected for the 2006 Aspen Comedy Festival, The 2006 Montreal Comedy Festival, and Comedy Central's Best Shorts of 2006 at American Cinematheque. Directed by Jay Leggett.
The Comedy Central Stage hosted SKETCH ARMSTRONG for a special showcase performance. The group played to a riotous sold out crowd, performing sketches from both The Passion II: Double-Crossed and Go People Go! , and premiering the video, Terrorist Bloopers; closing the show with everyone's favorite misguided Christian Folk Group, Go People Go!. Directed by Marc Evan Jackson.
SKETCH ARMSTRONG'S second show featured the return of Christian folk sensation Go People Go!. The group that brought you The Iraqi Christmas Song, returned with a new tune destined for the Christian folk-rock archives - We Can Do it Because God Says So. The show also featured a comeback by the lyrically challenged rock band, Bulger, who returned to the stage with a new song based on a note they found on the ground outside of a Falafel stand. The lyrics to the song, Destroy Los Angeles, turned out to be detailed instructions for a nuclear attack on the city. Luckily, the boys unwittingly foiled the planned terrorist attack when they premiered the song during a live morning drive radio show that was heard by fans on the LAPD. Other new sketches included the perversely delicious New Mommies, the frighteningly austere DUI Cop, the heartwarmingly humane The Sarge, the socially pointed Wine Snob, the bittersweetly comical Artie's Review and the delicately fragranced Granny's Panties. Directed by Marc Evan Jackson.
SKETCH ARMSTRONG'S first show, The Passion II: Double Crossed! was first performed at The Second City Theater in Los Angeles. The show featured paranoid suburbanites in Homeland Insecurity, a very unsuccessful group therapy session in Sexaholics, a "fair and balanced" discussion of world issues with Charlie in the Box taking on right-wing talk show host Phil O'Malley, the hilarious miscommunication of Albanian Family Reunion, and the sensual Mrs. Feldman being pussy blocked by her granddaughter when she puts the moves on the handsome young waiter in Pussy Blocking. The show also featured Abduction Song, a sketch that introduced Bulger, a lyrically challenged Rock Band that writes songs based found pieces of random correspondence. Their first hit, I'm Being Kept Alive in a Pit in This Guy's Basement, was based on a note they found in an alley behind the Whiskey A Go Go on the Sunset Strip. This desperate cry for help proved to be the band's ticket to Rock and Roll stardom. Unfortunately, it's author was never found. The show also introduced the upbeat Christian Folk Group Go People Go!, whose infectious singing and dancing in The Iraqi Christmas Song was a red, white and blue inspiration to all of the disaffected third world refugees who attended the show.
