Varietopia New York Performances

Varietopia comes to The Bell House as a live variety show built around Paul F. Tompkins, a comedian and writer with credits spanning *BoJack Horseman*, *Mr. Show with Bob and David*, *Real Time with Bill Maher*, and *Best Week Ever*. The format moves between stand-up, music-leaning interludes, and guest turns, shaped by Tompkins’s background in television performance and writing. In New York, it reads as part of the city’s long tradition of mixed-bill nights where comedy and pop sensibilities share a stage. Its clean structure lets the craft show through without disguising it as spontaneity.
