MEAT
From
New York City - Performing Friday @ 10:00PM
MEAT is thrilled to return to the Best of the Best
Sketchfest for the 4th time. We love you, Portland!
This year, MEAT is bringing their ALL-NEW blood-soaked
horror/comedy show "Camp Blood". You might not want to sit
in the front row.
Known for smart, dangerous, inventive writing and
fearlessly committed performances, MEAT is one of the
country's most critically acclaimed and respected sketch
groups, performing for sold out audiences across the U.S.
and Canada on the sketch festival circuit. They were
nominated by the Emerging Comics of New York Awards for
Best Sketch Group and named by the Chicago Tribune at the
"Best Performers" of the 2006 Chicago Sketch Festival.
MEAT is also proud to have shared the stage with Lewis
Black, Mitch Fatel, Jim Gaffigan, Judy Gold, Demitri Martin
and Gloria Steinam when they were sponsored by Planned
Parenthood to perform as part of the March for Women's
Lives in Washington, D.C.
