Seven8nine is back for Sketchfest, 2008!
Last year Seven8nine became the first group to do introductory videos for the Chicago Sketchfest. And this year, they are doing it again with Five original videos to be shown before every performance. The videos will show the 'rules' of sketchfest (no cell phones, please!) in a humorous way. No two theatres will be showing the same clip. So if you go to another show in the theatre next door...you get more original funny!
The Chicago Sketchfest is the world's largest sketch comedy festival and seven8nine is proud to be their official video opener. Last year, Nina Metz of the Chicago Tribune called seven8nine's videos "sly" and "entertaining."

Seven8nine tackles Vaginas!
Seven8nine recently did an introductory video for V-day, 2007, a Chicago benefit performance of the Vagina
Monolgues. The show ran Sunday April 4th and Monday April 5th at the Apollo Theatre. The video was shown
both nights prior to the show and was a universal success.
Hundreds of people attended the event and thousands of dollars were raised for the Chicago Abused Women's
Coalition. You can view the video here.

Seven8nine Productions will be featured nightly at Chicago Sketchfest '07!
The Sixth Annual Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival is the world's largest sketch comedy festival! And
seven8nineproductions will be showing a different video every night! We will be creating original videos to be
shown in each of the three theatres prior to the show. The videos will show the 'rules' of sketchfest (no cell
