The Variety Society was one of Sonic Boom’s two open performance nights in the city of Glasgow and was held weekly in the Vespbar (later renamed Yesbar) basement. It saw performers of all types visit to perform in a safe and supportive environment that focused on community and mutual respect above all else. Performers included actors, magicians, musicians, dancers, singers, storytellers, theatre groups, avant garde theatre troops, poets, and many many others. It ran every weekend in 2014, 2015 and early 2016
