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

Obsessed is a comedy podcast about liking things a little too much. Hosted by comedian and writer Joseph Scrimshaw, guests share their deepest loves from Star Wars to knitting to pro-wrestling to cats and everything in between. Join in for this live exploration of obsessions large and small.

Performers include:

Rebecca Watson
Rebecca Watson is the founder of the Skepchick Network, a collection of sites focused on science and critical thinking. She has written for outlets such as Slate, Popular Science, and the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. In addition to hosting QuizoTron, a rowdy, live quiz show that pits scientists against comedians, she delivers lectures around the world on an array of fascinating topics.

Travis McElroy
Travis McElroy is the middlest brother of the podcast My Brother, My Brother and Me on MaximumFun.org. He also co-hosts the podcasts The Adventure Zone, Trends Like These, Bunker Buddies, Interrobang with Travis and Tybee, and Shmanners with his wife Teresa. He and his brothers have just completed production on their upcoming show on Seeso TV, available this February.
