TOMORROW NIGHT ! "Burbank's Own VARIETYVILLE () brings their (almost) greatest hits to Dynasty Typewriter! For their 25th show, they’re blowing the dust off their best bits… and a few that could’ve gone better. Featuring magician MATT FELTEN, the incomparable ESMERELDA THE PUPPET, and LA’s Wizard of Late Night Variety, RON LYNCH; plus M.C. Gainey (LOST, SIDEWAYS) and The Varietyvillians with music from J.C Wright & The Varietyville Sound.

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.”
