Don’t get me wrong, Backpack’s not for everybody – it’s about as random as it comes – but it’s definitely a breath of fresh air in the sketch comedy landscape where lame writing and tired clichés flourish.

Sketchfest: Weekend 2 Round-Up
Time Out Chicago - 01.14.08
They came to town via Austin amidst huge buzz from the sketch community, so I was pumped to see what these boys could bring. If you were hanging around the fest later Friday night, you already know that I thought this show was phenomenal. At the risk of sounding like a Rolling Stone movie review, I’ll add that I laughed the entire time. Hard.
Speaking with: Mitch Baker
Chicago Sun-Times - 01.11.08
Take the absurdity of Monty Python and mix it with the wit and hilarity of Kids in the Hall and you've got yourself the makings of Backpack Picnic. The Austin, Texas-based sketch comedy troupe, best known for its top-rated Internet shorts on onnetworks.com, will perform as part of the Chicago Sketchfest.

Pretty stupid, but I got a few smiles out of it.
I love the people on the tour, especially the two nerds.
Tell ON what you think.
I love this humor...it makes me laugh from that place that feels great to laugh from...it's truly funny, smart, dumb comedy. Keep them coming...I want to see more!
You guys are so weird...I love it. You always make me laugh!
there are some hilarious characters here. i hope to see them on another tour!
Wacky, zany, off the wall.... just what we need to keep a sane (insane?) perspective in today's world! Loved it!
i'm so glad somebody finally accepts bling..this was hilarious. brillant and well played. the teal visor is inspiring.
Yep, that teal visor is pretty sweet.
Yeah. The joke is that they live there and that the earlier tour is dead because he "had more than a few problems" with them. Pretty funny. (I like that the bald guy is wearing a visor and the goth girl gives good attitude)
Ok soo... do the people on this funny yet strange tour live there?!? and yes, the bling is awesome!!
HAH!! this is hilarious!! check that bling.
One, two, three, TOUR!
