The San Francisco-Northern California Local was a proud sponsor of this year’s S.F. Sketchfest, a renowned comedy festival now in its 21st year, which kicked off on Jan. 21. The union’s sponsorship educated Sketchfest’s 45,000 participants on the availability of professional SAG-AFTRA principal performers in Northern California, while also highlighting the cost-saving benefits of hiring local talent. These benefits include savings on travel, accommodation and per diem expenses. Throughout the festival’s 16 days, attendees flocked to 17 venues across San Francisco to enjoy a diverse array of over 200 comedy performances, showcasing the city’s vibrant creative scene.
