KML Sketch Shows
Killing My Lobster is a non-profit arts organization (officially called Lobster Theater Project) based in San Francisco, California. Founded in 1997, Killing My Lobster, known primarily for its sketch comedy shows, also produces comedic plays, and original films. KML Sketch Comedy shows incorporate live music, multimedia, and thematically coherent through-lines, with a consistent emphasis on high production value. The collaborations result in a range of comedic styles that fuse raucous slapstick with sharp satire, wacky monologues with indulgent musical numbers. KML provides artists with the opportunity to generate and produce performance art across a range of disciplines.
KML's first full-length musical Faces The Music (2007) was extended for a second run in early 2007. Good press and internet marketing contributed to its longevity, with many audience members comparing it to Beach Blanket Babylon.

Famous quotes containing the words sketch and/or shows:
“We criticize a man or a book most sharply when we sketch out their ideal.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“For my own part, I would rather be in company with a dead man than with an absent one; for if the dead man gives me no pleasure, at least he shows me no contempt; whereas the absent one, silently indeed, but very plainly, tells me that he does not think me worth his attention.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
