Back in July, local sketch group Killing My Lobster (featured on Uptown here here here and here) teamed up with the non-profit theater company Z Space for a one-night-only sketch comedy show a la SNL, in which the writers, set designers and actors were only given 50 hours to prepare the jokes.  That show, KMLZ, went so damn well that they're bringing it back tomorrow night (Saturday, 7 and 10pm) for a holiday edition:

San Francisco's premiere sketch comedy group, Killing My Lobster, teams up with the Bay Area's best new works company, Z Space, for a special one-night-only event:  “KMLZ Holidaze.” A little bit “30 Rock,” a little bit “Star Search,” and a whole lot of holiday madness, KMLZ Holidaze answers the question: What do you get when you lock a dozen comedic writers/performers in a room for 50 hours between Thanksgiving and Christmas? Something weird, funny, and holiday-lightful.

A veritable advent calendar of hilarity, KMLZ Holidaze will feature sketches and shenanigans all about family, tradition, that weird channel on the TV that plays the fireplace, animals singing Christmas carols, the proper spelling of Channukah, yule logs, fruitcakes, and nutjobs.

And while that sounds great n' all, Jack from Z Space let's us know that there are sprinkles on this Christmas cookie:

Not to go unmentioned— Z Space has a liquor license and full bar, and the Lobsters like to drink. This should be a boozy night of holiday merriment. If you want to see the show, buy a ticket for the 10pm performance and use the code “DrunkenLobster”. It gets you a free beer with your ticket to the 10pm show.

Local comedy and a free beer? There!
