Queer Variety Cavalcade

In the grand tradition of variety show legends Sonny & Cher, Donny & Marie, and Captain & Tennille… The All New Queer Variety Cavalcade is coming your way on April 7! Structured like a traditional televised-live variety show, with a little John Waters flair, QVC features queer talent across performance disciplines: music, dance, drag, magic, burlesque, spoken word, ventriloquism… any talent we can discover. And, of course, improv!

Produced and hosted by WIT improvisers Kevin Eggleston and Bill Nelson (dubbed "Birdie" and "Butchie"), the hour-long show features three performances by queer artists and an interview with a guest important to the queer community. 

QVC is made possible through funding from the DC Mayor's Office of LGBTQ Affairs.

ABOUT WIT

For 25 years, Washington Improv Theater's experienced teams of improv comedians have taken a simple suggestion or story from an audience member and turned it into a never-before-seen comedy show. And because every performance is based on an audience suggestion, that night's show will never happen again! Our homegrown talent has gone on to SNL, The Daily Show, HBO's Insecure and The White Lotus, and more!
