SF Sketchfest 2026 (Jan. 15-Feb. 1)

Sonoma County comedians Steve Ausburne and Casey Williams taste a different whiskey each episode. Spend an hour with them at the PianoFight Bar as they drink the whiskey, discuss the whiskey, drift into 20 year old pop culture references and icons, drink more whiskey, talk about upcoming shows and happenings in the Bay Area Comedy Scene, and finally, drink more whiskey.

Performers:

Casey Williams
Casey Williams is a hilarious comedian and local producer – performing throughout Sonoma County and the greater Bay Area. A veteran of parenthood and marriage, Casey can sift through the seemingly mundane to offer humorous observational gems to you, the willing (and hopefully drinking) audience.

Steve Ausburne
Steve Ausburne’s comedy career started with MC/Host work for friends with bands. His first attempt at actual stand up ended with him getting a lifetime ban from a church in Grant’s Pass, Oregon – so a pretty successful start. Since then, Steve has embraced the stage as a place to present a spoken word memoir of all the embarrassing life moments that lurk in a place that only stand up or therapy sessions can reveal. Basically, Steve has no shame.

Please note, this show is partially seated; arrive early to guarantee seating.
