Laughter takes center stage with The Best Friends Variety Hour, a joyful and fast-paced comedy show celebrating the glory and hilarity of female friendship. Featuring Kris and Alli, who have been best friends for decades, the show blends sharp comedy, playful storytelling, and improvisation into an afternoon that’s equal parts hilarious and heartfelt.

Sponsored by the Vero Beach branch of the AAUW, The Best Friends Variety Hour is also a fundraiser. Proceeds from the event will benefit scholarships for women and girls in Indian River County, supporting educational opportunities and investing in the next generation of leaders, creatives, and changemakers.

“Best Friends” is Saturday, March 7, at the Emerson Center, 1590 29^th Ave., Vero Beach. Cost is $50. Go to AAUWverobeach.org to buy tickets. The comedy begins at 4, but come early to enjoy some wine and cheese.

“Women’s friendships are like a renewable source of power” Jane Fonda once said. The Emerson Center will be crackling with that power on March 7. You and your friends are guaranteed to enjoy this high-energy performance rooted in real friendship, shared history, and the kind of chemistry that can only come from years of knowing each other.

Have fun while doing good: Don’t miss this chance to laugh while your sides ache and know that you’re also helping girls and women in our community.
