Arcade's Sketch Comedy Festival

Come for the view, stay for the laughs!

Immerse yourself in Arcade Comedy Theater’s world of sketch comedy with Sketchville — a new production featuring performances from six incredibly funny, Pittsburgh-based comedy troupes whose unique comedic points of view will take over the entire building. For the first time, Arcade is staggering 3 shows with enough time to not have to miss a single punchline all night long! Each show runs just over 70 minutes, and as soon as one ends, another begins on a different floor.

Featuring performances by: Frankly Scarlett, Secondhand Sketch, The Big Deal, JFLE, Cousins, and The Oneders! Plus additional performances by the Citizens of Sketchville in every show!

See Multiple Shows in a Night!

For the first time, Arcade is giving you a chance to see three shows in a single night! If you pick a bundle of 2 shows, you'll save $5 off the ticket price. And if you buy all three, you'll save $15. 

Each show leads into the next one: you can see the first show at 7PM in our downstairs theater, the second is upstairs at 8:30PM, and finally back downstairs at 10PM for one more performance. 

You can decide your comedic destiny! One show, two, or all three.
