"The 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors are proud to have been part of the 2006 Sketch Comedy Championships. We were truly impressed by the professionalism of all parties involved and the high level of organization that was required to put such a high profile event together. Our hats off to the producers for their support of the wacky comedy form known as sketch comedy, and a salute to all the talented performers we shared the stage with. What a wonderful exhilirating experience it was!" - 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors, www.18mmw.com
"Friends With Benefits was very honored to be chosen from groups all over North America as one of the six finalists in the first ever International Sketch Comedy Championship. Bringing our unique brand of comedy to an appreciative, sold out, 296 seat theater right in the heart of downtown Los Angeles was a thrilling opportunity for us, as was being asked to participate in an event which served to promote and advance the state of sketch comedy entertainment. We would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you Paul Lawrence, Kitania Kavey, and all the people who worked so hard to produce this spectacular sketch comedy event!" - Charles Horn, Executive Producer & Writer, Friends With Benefits, www.fwbsketch.com
