SF Sketchfest has posted a 2027 lineup built around anniversary bills, and the names that jump first are a Futurama live show plus a second program of celebrity outtakes from several of the same voices.
The festival's 2027 lineup and its public schedule are the listings behind the announcement. Tickets are advertised to go on sale this Sunday, November 15, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific.
A Sunday Sale, With a Warning
Sunday at 10 is the clock the schedule actually prints. The page bills itself as the schedule for SF Sketchfest 2027 and tells buyers, in a short line, that the lineup is subject to change.
That warning sits on the same page as the sale time. A name on the card this Friday is a published plan. It is not a promise that every attachment will still be there when the ticket window opens.
Futurama, in Two Bills
The lineup's Futurama entry is titled "FUTURAMA: Bite Our Shiny Metal Show!" The billed company is David X. Cohen, John DiMaggio, David Herman, Maurice LaMarche, Phil LaMarr, Lee Supercinski, Lauren Tom, and Billy West. That is the writing and voice bench associated with the series, gathered for a live show rather than a screening note.
A second listing, "Outtake-o-rama 2027!," is described as infamous celebrity outtakes. Cohen, DiMaggio, LaMarche, and West are the names on that bill. Herman, LaMarr, Supercinski, and Tom appear on the larger Futurama show and are not repeated on the outtakes listing.
The two programs are easy to blur if you are buying by cast photo. One is the shiny-metal show with the wider company. The other is a smaller outtake set. The lineup page keeps them as separate events.
Run Ronnie Run, Counted Two Ways
The schedule lists a live read of Run Ronnie Run! at Herbst Theatre with Scott Aukerman, David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, BJ Porter, and Brian Posehn. It also lists a screening at the Vogue Theatre with Cross and Odenkirk. On the festival schedule, both are labeled 25th-anniversary events.
SFist, in a story published Friday, described Sketchfest plans for a 20th-anniversary celebration of the same movie. The schedule and that report do not use the same number. Anyone buying on the title should read the event name on the festival schedule rather than treat the two counts as the same claim.
The rooms are distinct even if the anniversary math is not. Herbst gets the larger live-read company. The Vogue listing is the screening, with Cross and Odenkirk. The schedule does not fold those into one shared cast line.
Stella at the Palace
"Stellabration: A 30th Anniversary Tribute to Stella" is booked at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre. Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain are the three names on that listing, the trio that made Stella a sketch institution before it became a nostalgia bill.
Thirty years is a long way from a living-room bit, and the Palace is a long way from a black-box room. The schedule puts that tribute in one of the larger houses on the published card, next to comedy that started much smaller than the hall now holding it.
A Stack of Other Anniversaries
Anniversary programming runs through the rest of the lineup page, not just those two titles. A 40th-anniversary event for "Strangeways, Here We Come" lists David Cross, Chris Gethard, Bob Odenkirk, Brian Posehn, Phoebe Robinson, David Wain, Cedric Yarbrough, and DJ Omar Perez.
The same lineup groups a 30th-anniversary celebration of "Lost Highway" with a 35th-anniversary nod to "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me." A separate "25th Anniversary Show" names Jon Benjamin, David Cross, Phoebe Robinson, and more. The listing does not say what that show is marking.
Cross turns up on the Run Ronnie Run! bills, on Strangeways, and on that 25th-anniversary show. Odenkirk is on the movie events and Strangeways. Wain is on Stellabration and Strangeways. The card reads less like a single headliner tour than a set of overlapping companies.
Tickets open Sunday, November 15, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific. The schedule's own caveat still applies: the lineup is subject to change, so the event name on that page is the one worth reading before anyone clicks buy.
