The George Lucas Talk Show

comedy

📆 Saturday, February 1, 7:30 PM 📍 Club Fugazi, 678 Green St, San Francisco (gmaps)

A show for Star Wars fans and non-fans alike returns to SF SKETCHFEST for the third time alongside some amazing guests! Comedian Connor Ratliff ("Dead Eyes," "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel") appears as George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, and interviews guests like a "normal talk show." He is joined by sidekick Watto, played by Griffin Newman ("Blank Check," "The Tick"), and show producer Patrick Cotnoir. The show has been running since 2014 and was a regular show at the UCB Theatre in New York City for years. It has been streaming on Twitch since 2020. Collider called them "a bit of sunlight streaming into our lives", and they were featured in Rolling Stone, talked about on Seth Meyers, had a very successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest, and were recently the subject of a lengthy documentary that made the festival rounds and is currently available on VOD.
Previous guests include Seth Meyers, Weird Al, Whoopi Goldberg, Jack Quaid, Tatiana Maslany, Jon Hamm, Kevin Smith, Peter Serafinowicz, Ahmed Best, Adam Scott, Tatiana Maslany, Jason Mantzoukas, Rachel Zegler, Lea Thompson, D'Arcy Carden, Tony Hale, and Aimee Mann.
