Even more sketch comedy to deliver to you today! On this most sacred of comedy days comes a new scripted sketch comedy Spotify Original produced by Radio Point (the folks behind Make My Day with Josh Gondelman and Ruined with Alison Leiby and Halle Kiefer). THE SKETCH FACTOR is hosted by none other than the multi-talented SNL alum Fred Armisen (Portlandia; Documentary Now!). Armisen plays entrepreneur, philanthropist, and billionaire Xandor Szavost who’s sole job (on this podcast series) is to candidly judge some audio based sketch comedy, as he sips some “chilled rosé,” of course. Xander may be the sole benevolent benefactor of this sketch comedy competition, but there is plenty of talent and writing fueling the podcast series. Ryan Perez, Kurt Braunohler, Tim Robinson, Jo Firestone, Seaton Smith, Eliza Skinner, Ben Roy, Yamaneika Saunders and more were all involved in this production, and it’s worth taking the plunge. Dive into the full series including sketches like “Fear of Flying,” “NASA Recordings,” “Animal Lover Rescue Farms,” and “Jared Leto Voice Memos.” The series is exclusively available on Spotify.
