No Name Variety Show (August 2025)

Hosted by Eric Vetter, No Name is a “workout show,” wherein talented performers are encouraged to play and try out new comedic or storytelling material. The audience is invited to hang out afterward to share feedback, shoot the breeze, and get on the mic themselves. Every third Tuesday of the month.

No Name Super Storytellers Party is hosted every first Tuesday of the month. 

Admission is FREE, donations welcomed. Masks are required.
