Mighty Real: A Sketch Variety Show recalls ’90s-era comedy TV shows like In Living Color, All That, and Saturday Night Live, woven around a variety of performances of spoken word, song, and dance. Scripted with a team of Black and Brown queers, this show pulls back the curtain on life in a QTPOC world.
An annual live event of various themes, our fourth annual Mighty Real is Saturday, November 5 at PianoFight in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District.
Meet the Sketch Writers
DARA M WILSON
Engaging and multifaceted, Dara M Wilson is a storyteller at her core. Whether the medium be solo performance, standup comedy, visual art, music or anything else, she knows how to weave a tale. She takes the toughest parts of life (racism, house fires, stalkers– she’s done it all) and unmasks them unflinchingly, making the complex obvious, legible, and even funny.
BARUCH PORRAS-HERNANDEZ
Baruch Porras-Hernandez is a writer, performer, organizer, professional MC/Host, curator, stand up comedian, and the author of the chapbooks “I Miss You, Delicate” and “Lovers of the Deep Fried Circle”. He’s toured with the legendary Sister Spit Queer poetry tour in 2019, is a two-time winner of Literary Death Match, a regular host of literary shows for KQED, and was named a Writer to Watch in 2016 by 7×7 Magazine.
DOM GÉLIN
As Florida-to-California transplant, Dom enjoys offering strong opinions on stupid things, -isms, and flip-flops. Note that flip-flops do not fall into the category of “stupid things.” She’s performed at the All Jane Comedy Festival, Boston’s Women in Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, KQED, and others. She’s also been in sketch groups Killing My Lobster and Nice Tan.
SAMPSON MCCORMICK
A cult favorite with an international following, Sampson has headlined venues including the historic Howard Theater, Kennedy Center for The Performing Arts, Laugh Factory in Hollywood, San Francisco Punch Line, Harvard University, and in 2018 became the first LGBT comic ever to perform at a Smithsonian Institution.
