Sass Factory was formed in San Francisco in 2023 and has been performing together for three years. The ensemble has performed across the Bay Area and toured in various comedy festivals including iO Fest (Chicago), SF Sketchfest, SAVI Fest (Arizona), FEMME Fest (Sacramento), and Endgames Comedy Festival (SF). In addition to receiving training from local theatres such as Leela, Endgames and ACT, Sass Factory’s members have also trained at UCB, WIT, and UCLA.
Unleash your word-holes! Based on your suggestion, Sass Factory mass-produces profound and preposterous characters in a whimsical, wackiful, wonderland of a narrative. Dysfunctional relationships and high-stakes situations intersect with big feelings, plenty of stupid, and a touch of sincerity. Sass-i-faction is always sometimes guaranteed.
