I was on a podcast for creative people!
CRE8TIVITY 059: “Comedian Becky Braunstein” - Utah Podcast Network Dylan became aware of BECKY BRAUNSTEIN when she came to Salt Lake for the Golden Spike Comedy Festival (put on by Wiseguys Comedy) and has been a fan ever since! This is another Skype interview where we discuss the amazing SF ‘Sketchfest,’ and other festivals. I also talk to Braunstein about her...
I’m back in the San Francisco airport eating ramen before my flight home, just like this time last year, and what have I learned? Nothing, apparently; ramen is hot, takes forever to eat and makes a terrible mess. And sadly my SF Sketchfest, 2019 is over. Which brings us to Sketchfest 2019 edition! This year was another stuff-your-own-bag swag buffet. I liked the coffee cup, the cheese was a nice touch (more festivals should provide cheese) and water & mints are always appreciated.
Some things you just can’t fit in a bag though, and 🏆 Item of the Bag, as usual, goes to an outside-the-bag experience. And that Item 🏆 would be the after party at The Speakeasy SF. I can’t imagine a better location for a party than the 1920s, and this is exactly what we got. Live jazz combos, snacks, winding hallways & dudes in spectator shoes & boaters throwing fancy drinks at you around every corner. I mean figuratively throwing. It would be so disappointing if you went to a party and they just hosed you down with even the nicest champagne. Thank you ❤️Sketchfest❤️ for a consistently awesome time, sold out shows with great crowds & fun stuff! 🍸🍸🍸🍸
Super amazing jam-packed show at California Academy of Sciences to kick off my SF Sketchfest, weekend! 😍
I’m on my way to SF Sketchfest, the San Francisco Comedy Festival! Here’s my show schedule, which includes a SUPER special show at the California Academy of Sciences Thursday & a theater show at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema at the new Mission Friday. I’m so excited to be back in SF and see what kind of antics I can get into. There might be some gonzo journalism along the way, stay tuned. 🕵🏻♀️
Upcoming shows! Including some real exciting stuff, like an audition show for Just for Laughs 🤩 SF Sketchfest, 🥳 of course Becky with the Good Jokes 😍 and MORE!
Well this was a fun surprise - some cute little end of season filming presents from the Trinkets production company! 💕 I’m so proud to be even a tiny little part of this show because everyone who worked on it is so energetic and positive and worked really hard, and is like superhuman nice. ♥️ Thank you so much Trinkets / AwesomenessTV / Netflix for this cool stuff & being so great to work with!
An Alaskan Comedian and a Portland Comedian. Somehow Both.
To the probable surprise of everyone she went to high school with, Becky Braunstein was recently featured in Teen Vogue, in an article insisting that each one of her life experiences "deserves [its] own television show". Called a “comedy tsunami”, an “audience favorite”, and “the best thing that’s ever come from Alaska… like, by far” by the Portland Mercury, Becky is a fast-rising standout performer with fresh energy and wide-eyed enthusiasm that is impossible to ignore. She grew up on a mountain in Eagle River, Alaska where she had no one to talk to, moved to Portland, Oregon after being diagnosed with metastatic thyroid cancer and almost losing her voice forever - but she didn’t lose it, and now she won’t shut up. Becky has performed at nearly every top comedy festival in the country, including the Big Sky Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, All Jane Comedy Festival, Limestone Comedy Festival, the 208 Comedy Fest, Beast Village Comedy Festival, and many others. Her comedy has appeared on SiriusXM, IFC and Audible. She hosts a spectacular show called 'Becky with the Good Jokes', which has featured appearances by Matt Braunger, Pete Holmes, Jamie Lee, The Unipiper, Shane Torres, Shane Mauss, Jenny Conlee from The Decemberists, and the mayor of Anchorage, Alaska. She competed in the National Spelling Bee in 1997, is about half fluent in German, and dreams of one day living in a house with central air.
