ROBB ZEISER
Robb Zeiser, the silent comedian, just happened to be in town for the evening and asked to
be a part of the 50th show. How could I refuse! Robb is a natural vaudevillian with the ability to
get the crowd involved with his "silent" comedy routine. The audience ate it up.

JESSE GARCIA
Velocity Circus presented bodybuilder Jesse Garcia who opened the show
with a beautiful pose down routine that showed off his amazing physique. Jesse was set to appear
in Cologne Germany for the Mr. Universe contest, then Gay Games in Chicago in 2006. We wish him luck.

KATHERINE CHASE
Katherine Chase (aka Kitty Rose) provided the evening's acoustic performance with two of
my favorite original songs "Hurricane Coming" and "How To Breathe". Katherine is a wonderful singer/songwriter
and always a welcome guest at Viva Variety.

VARLA JEAN MERMAN
Varla Jean Merman wowed the audience with her Xmas medley of "Ring My Bell" and the classic Xmas bell song by
A. Non! But I wouldn't let he leave without showing one of her hilarious videos - this one about a tragic love
get the between Varla and a Burger King worker.

PEGGY L'EGGS
Peggy L'Eggs returned to Viva Variety with an encore performance of his mad Ophelia from Hamlet,
impersonating the crazed Hamlet character as well as her trusty hand-maiden. How else could it all end besides Ophelia
drowning herself in a baby pool! Classic Peggy, classic Shakespeare, classic slapstick.

From Velocity Circus, Viva Variety had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Elmo accompanied by the

being "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer", the #1 selling Xmas song ever. The audience sing along was a hoot.
