  • Doing Some Sketchwar Sketches on the Radio

    Greetings Sketchwarriors — I’m appearing on a local radio show this Wednesday called “Writing on the Air”, where they interview writers. We’ll be staged-reading a bunch of my Sketchwar sketches and talking about sketch comedy. If any other Sketchwar folks have some sketches they’d like us to do, lemme know!

  • Sketchwar Schedules

    Just a quick heads up to everyone to take a look at the main menu when you get a chance. There’s a new entry for ‘Schedule’. That’s where you’ll find our warriors’ posting schedules, the schedule of upcoming topics, and have the opportunity to suggest sketch prompts for us. If there’s something you think is…

  • New Home for Sketch War

    We’ve moved once again. Our new, and permanent home, is sketchwar.org It’s not pretty right now – just an out of the box WordPress site – but it’ll get better over the next month or so. Thanks to everyone who’s been coming here. We hope you come on over to the new home!

  • Welcome to Sketch War

    About a year ago, Michael posted a sketch on his blog one Friday night. Being hyper-competitive, I banged a sketch out after work and posted it by midnight, throwing down a virtual gauntlet. Every Friday hence, we wrote sketches – first on whatever we wanted, and later on pre-selected topics – and posted them to…

  • Strange things are afoot at Sketch War…

    We’re going to be making a few changes and tweaks around here over the next few weeks, and because of that we’re holding off on posting our sketches until Monday. I know, it seems to defeat the whole purpose of a “Friday Sketch War” to not post on Friday, but that’s part of the tweaking.…

  • 365 Sketches in 365 Days

    Howdy Fellow Warriors, Michael here. Long time no sketch. From me, at least. I’m hoping to change that this week. But before I return to crush all of you into a fine sketcherific powder I wanted to point out an impressive undertaking by a fellow sketch writer. Sketch Field Marshall Joe Janes has challenged himself…

  • Sketch War Recap

    Richard’s got the final numbers on today’s sketch war. It might not have been WW III, but we gave ’em hell. For those of you standing on the sidelines, shaking in your boots; tuck in your skirts and get in the fight. For those of you who battled, bled and lived to tell the tale,…

  • Not Joking Around

    Seriously, Sketch War ’08 has begun. If you wanna be part of the surge then post a sketch this Friday. Then send a link to sketchwar (at) dreamloom (dot) com. Richard and I will post links and everyone can attack everyone else. Okay, maybe not attack. But “offer encouragement and support” just doesn’t sound bad-ass…

  • Joining Sketch War

    Ai-ight. Looks like Michael and I are definitely going to do battle on Fridays. We’ve reached out to a few other writers and have gotten a smattering of interest back, so I suspect we’ll see one or two others joining us this week, and maybe a few more after that. My hope is that we…
