"The VV Variety Show is a long-running San Francisco performance series devoted to creative risk, playful reinvention, and the electric aliveness that happens when artists step just beyond their usual edges. Founded in 2011 by musician and host Vanessa VerLee, the show invites performers to offer something slightly (or wildly) outside their comfort zone - a new medium, an unexpected format, a stretch that excites and terrifies in equal measure."
"Over the years, the VV stage has held genre-bending experiments, one-night-only acts, and unforgettable moments of courage, humor, and heart. The 17th VV Variety Show lands at The Lost Church in North Beach on February 27, 2026, featuring an eclectic lineup of Bay Area artists offering 15-minute-or-less performances spanning dance, comedy, music, spoken word, and more - each act bringing something new into the room."
"Expect surprises. Expect tenderness. Expect laughter, beauty, awkward magic, and brave experimentation. This is not a polished recital - it's a laboratory of creative courage and communal witnessing. Come for the art. Stay for the electricity. Leave a little more alive."
