I bought a ticket but am numpty when it comes to capturing video... thought I'd share with the community here as Rifftrax is listed as participating.

Description
It's the virtual comedy event of the year! Join us for an epic smorgasbord of all-star SF Sketchfest alumni coming together for one live-streamed show to celebrate 20 years of the festival. With comedy sketches, improvised scenes, game shows, ridiculous debates, musical performances and chats with entertainment icons, the show will feature all NEW performances and appearances from an ever-growing roster of some of the most beloved names in comedy, film and television.

Featuring performers from many of the biggest comedy shows of all time including “The Kids in the Hall,” “Saturday Night Live,” “The State,” “Mr. Show,” “The Upright Citizens Brigade,” “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “Whose Line Is It Anyway?,” “Glee,” “The Mighty Boosh,” “Portlandia,” “The Office,” “Schitt’s Creek,” and “Impractical Jokers.” The show will be streamed live on Saturday, January 30, 2021 at 5:00pm PT / 8:00pm ET, and ticket-buyers will have the ability to watch a replay of the event through Monday, February 1st at 11:59pm PT. Visit sfsketchfest.com for the full lineup.

This virtual event will help raise funds to keep SF Sketchfest, a fiercely independent and locally grown small business, afloat during the ongoing Covid-19 shutdown. The inability to present live shows for much of 2020 and into 2021 means that SF Sketchfest must generate revenue to be able to hold out and come back strong with a live in-person 20th festival. Fans can support the festival further by buying various tiered tickets that include a virtual VIP afterparty with select performers from the show and special one-of-a-kind merch and swag items. Visit sfsketchfest.com for details.

FWIW and until a better version is posted, here is a capture I did of the RiffTrax short, "A Holiday from Rules" (which was by far the best part of the night):

Sweet - thanks sarlacc222 for extracting just the short!  Some top notch folks over at myspleen posted a couple of versions so I grabbed it and am sharing here. This is the original live stream clocking at almost 4 hours for those interested.

Thanks! I gotta say, watching this live stream reminded me of why I love the MST3K / RiffTrax crew so much. They were by far the best-prepared, most professional, and funniest presentation of the night. Kids in the Hall and the Mr. Show folks were also top-notch, but a lot of the other acts phoned it in (literally).

thank you!
