🎉 Local Variety Live! — 3-Year Anniversary Show

Join us as we celebrate three years of creativity, community, and connection with a special edition of the Local Variety Show!

This anniversary event begins as an open house at Urbanrest Brewing Company, giving you time to grab a drink and connect with friends (old and new). We’ll then segue into our live performance show.
🎤 Expect a curated lineup of local and regional talent, including musicians, comedians, vocalists, and performance artists, all sharing the stage in one vibrant evening.

Whether it’s your first time attending or you’ve been with us since the beginning, this event is designed to be welcoming, inspiring, and fun — a true celebration of the local creative community we’ve built together.

Emmi’s career kicked off in a non-traditional way – she combined her sales job with her comedy aspirations. In a pop-up style, she promoted one-night-only shows by word of mouth during corporate company events, organizing comedy nights in any space she could find: hotel rooms, lobbies, bars & retreats.

In 2023, Emmi became a full-time nomad: traveling around the world, performing in 8 countries along the way.
In 2024, she produced & headlined a sold-out show in Madrid, Spain.
2025 was a year of debuts - she wrote, produced & debuted her one-hour show: Big Fish, No Pond. Additionally, she performed in the Vermont Comedy Festival and launched her podcast, “Stories I Wouldn’t Tell My Nana.”

Emmi is currently performing around the U.S. In 2026, she’ll bring her show to the Alaska B4UDie Comedy Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe in Scotland & the Geelong Comedy Festival in Australia.
