Sketch Fest Seattle is into its second (and final) weekend.

Sketch comedy isn't rocket science. Get some funny jokes, present them in a scene, and get off the stage.

SketchFest Seattle, the country's first sketch comedy festival and the only one in North America to take place at Capital Hill's Erickson Theatre, is entering its final weekend of shows.

The problem with most fringe sketch comedy shows is that they are not very funny or original. If you've ever sat through a painfully humorless show, we feel your pain.

With SketchFest Seattle chugging into its final weekend, we had a sit-down with Dusty Warren. Seattlest figured he'd be a good guy to talk to, as he's been performing sketch comedy in Seattle since 2000 and is a member of two groups performing this weekend. First there's Flaming Box of Stuff---they just returned from New York where they were a part of a HBO showcase at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre---and then there's the two-man group Champagne.

There are some things in life that are so sad they are funny, and there are other things that are so funny they are funny. Luckily, Sketch Fest Seattle falls into the latter category.
