Overview

Welcome to the party, future Boss Babes! Come travel the glamorous world of Varmon – the multi-level marketing beauty empire that has the best skincare products around and is also an irresistible business opportunity. Varmon is your ticket to Eternal Youth and Financial Freedom!* Upline is the recent winner of both the Audience Pick and Critics’ Choice awards in the Atlanta Fringe, as well as the Artist Pick for Encore in the Cincinnati Fringe. By the end of this absurd and interactive solo comedy, you’ll be ready to sign up and become a Varmonista yourself. Just don’t call it a pyramid scheme.

* Eternal Youth and Financial Freedom not guaranteed.

Cannonball, produced by Almanac Dance Circus Theatre, is the first and largest independent festival hub of the Philadelphia Fringe that presents risk-taking independent artists in back-to-back performances next to delicious lounge spaces, fostering creative collisions and community conversation.
