Qmmunity: Sounds Sketchy to Me

Transgender comedy duos are having a moment, but only in the sense that comedy festivals are finally figuring out what we knew all along: Trans people are just, like, funnier than everyone else. Case in point, this weekend’s ATX Sketch Fest headliners Joan and Raft – described in their festival bio as “LA’s two hottest trans best friends,” Joan Haley Ford and Cait Raft have written for all the big boys.

Sketch comedy, to both performers, represents a place of artistic freedom and fun. For Joan, her history with sketch began at a young age when, for church youth group, she combined the classic tale of Noah’s Ark with an even more timeless story:. Spoiler alert, via future Joan: “The devil put a bomb on the boat!” Beyond combining genres, a major draw of sketch was how Joan could play any part, not just the ones she’d be stuffed into by traditional performance formats.
