SF Sketchfest is always an embarrassment of riches, featuring more dazzling comedy shows than any one person could possibly catch, not least because several of them are often happening at the same time.

Here’s a baker’s dozen of highlights to get you started, but there’s way, way, way more going on than can possibly be listed here, including A-List out-of-town performers, local comedy heroes and more sketch, improv and standup than you can shake your head ruefully at. We’re skipping shows in this roundup that are already sold out.
