Sketchy Broads presents: Resting Bitumen Face
2026 Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival
Aug. 17, 2026, 7:54 p.m.

A classic sketch comedy show, Resting Bitumen face is packed full of short scenes that cover a wide range of subjects. If you can dream about it, they have a bit about it. The Sketchy Broads are a hilarious group of five comedians, and just from watching them on stage you can tell that they love working with each other. They handle the comedy as if it were a straight play, with not even the slightest acknowledgement of the humour, making it all the funnier. The short form comedy is perfect for anyone with a shorter attention span. You’ll get hit with a punchline every two to three minutes, so try to keep up! If you’re ready for the speed and quickness of the bits, you’ll get whisked along from scene to scene, and even though there’s no overarching story you will still get taken on a journey. The Sketchy Broads create some of the funniest short form comedy at the festival, and Resting Bitumen Face will not disappoint.
