About this season
VARIETOPIA is a modern variety show, showcasing the best in contemporary comedy, music, and other forms of live entertainment, hosted by acclaimed comedian Paul F. Tompkins. Debuting at the Largo nightclub in 2002 under the name The Paul F. Tompkins Show, the program ended its long and only slightly intermittent run in 2014. It has returned to Los Angeles in a new location, the spectacular Lodge Room in Highland Park, and now embarks on a tour across the nation. Guests are always a surprise and surprises are guaranteed. This show is part of The Egg’s “Last Hurrah” programming before closing for renovations.
