Austin Walker’s Varietyville™ is a live show that pays homage to the timeless spectacle of variety shows and vaudeville, serving as a playground for Tinseltown’s funniest and most peculiar performers.

Varietyville is more than just another variety show, it’s an entertainment collective made up of passionate performers and eager artisans. Formed by comedian/writer Austin Laine Walker’s undying obsession with television variety shows of yesteryear, Varietyville has been described as “a small town encapsulated in a snow globe, where every day is a variety special.” Drawing inspiration from legends like Dean Martin, Carol Burnett, and the Muppets, Varietyville blends scripted storytelling with improvisational blunders. Featuring characters from The Varietyvillians, the foot-stomping tunes of The Varietyville Sound, and side-splitting local talent, each performance is an entirely unique trip to this fictional utopia — the show you see will never be seen (live) again!

Visitors to Varietyville say:

“This is what joy looks and sounds like.”

“It’s amazing! Love the singing! Love the jokes!”

“There’s sketch, puppets, magic, musical performances, stand up comedy, improv…aliens have shown up before! It’s in the name, and it genuinely lives up to the concept of variety.”

“Scrappy and full of heart!” 

“I like that with very new act, you don’t know what’s coming. You see a lot of stuff. That’s what variety is…you come to see the unexpected.”

Two men dressed in costumes with hats, smiling and posing for a photo on a stage.
A wedding scene with a bride holding a bouquet, standing with a groom and two officiants during the ceremony.
A man with gray curly hair and a beard, wearing a brown checkered blazer, speaking into a microphone on stage with a dark background and colorful text projection.
Five actors in costume on stage during a play with a forest scene projected in the background.
