Due to the pandemic, this year's show was not produced live on stage. Instead we compiled creative videos submitted from the Olympia Performance Community and transformed them into a Vaudeville Video Show!

Conducted with a traditional Vaudeville format - a series of unrelated acts following in rapid succession - the Lord Franzzanian show is a huge local Olympia favorite. It gives performers of all types an opportunity to try out a new acts and new talents, and gives audience members an opp0rtunity to enjoy live, sometimes experimental, and often extremely funny entertainment. Read about the history of BigShowCity and the origins of the vaudeville show here.

Due to our current COVID 19 global pandemic the 2020 Lord Franzannian Vaudeville Show will not be live in a theater, but filmed and displayed online. Each individual act will independently, from the safety of their home, record their act on digital video. Then, with some clever video editing, it will be included in a final video production.
