Sketch comedy grew out of vaudeville shows comprised of short, humorous acts featuring slapstick gags. Performers like Charlie Chaplin inspired the next generation of comedy writers who began to experiment with creating content for radio and TV. Starting in the mid-20th century, shows like Monty Python’s Flying Circus, The Carol Burnett Show, SCTV, and Saturday Night Live brought the medium into people’s homes and further established Sketch as its own style of comedy. The rise of short-form content on the internet has pushed Sketch further into the mainstream, and has allowed it to become a cross-disciplinary art form combining writing and performance.
