2025 Denver Sketch Festival: King Schlub, Slento’s Character Surprise Surprise, The Bustercups - Thu 10/9/25 @ 9:00 PM

King Schlub is the conjoined humor unit of long-time funnymen Nick Holland and Ryan Nowell. Join them as they journey from the safe, placid waters of stand up into the murky depths of sketch comedy!

For fans of Mr. Show, Kids in the Hall, and Monty Python’s Flying Circus, King Schlub sketches draw from the absurd cosmic tragedy of human existence, but also from tiny little hats! Words that are fun to say! Dogs with eyes pointed in opposite directions! Come experience a series of wackadoo goof-em-ups about the bitter sadness that lives inside us all!

Slento’s Character Surprise Surprise is a character set exploring bombshell moments. Both positive and negative, big and small. Watch these weirdo’s deal with the aftermath.

Slento is a little bug hailing from the East Coast and living in Los Angeles. She has studied and is currently studying at UCB, Groundlings, The Pack and ImprovBoston. She can be found doing character sets around the city and performing monthly with her sketch team “Vogue” at the Pack Theater.

The Bustercups are Columbia, South Carolina’s #1 comedic hip hop duo that have performed at 2 establishments of barbecue. Wordplay, lyricism, flow. These are just some of the many things that they are working on. The duo consists of MC P-cup (Patrick Fowler) and “Phil” (Phil Carter).
