Best Friends Variety Show

Come, celebrate friendship — in all its glory and hilarity!

One of the most amazing things in life is finding that person who is not only your best friend; but also your soulmate, a sister, and a person who will shower you after a major surgery. She might be the same one you giggled with in middle school, your high school or college bestie, or someone you met as an adult, and everything just clicked.

Spend an hour with Kris & Alli, comedians and best friends who have been performing together for almost 20 years, as they take you on a journey through the joys and laughter of their own friendship, your own friendships and even some famous friendships like Lucy and Ethel, Dorothy and Sophia, and Betty and Judy. Kris and Alli’s variety hour will feature comedy sketches, improv, storytelling, and song & dance.

ALLI SOOWAL is a Philadelphia based performer (improv and sketch) and improv instructor.  She has been performing in Philadelphia and around the country since 2005, primarily with CSz Philadelphia, home of ComedySportz since 2007.  Alli is also Kristin's best friend.  Like a low-budget version of Michelle Williams and Busy Phillips, Kristin is the accomplished one and Alli is thrilled to be nearby.  When Alli is not supporting Kristin's many endeavours, she is earning a living as a leader in the healthcare sector.  She is also an avid wildlife photographer with several pieces sold or on display. Shout out to One Ton - one of the last remaining Super Tusker elephants in the world and the most impressive celebrity Alli has ever met.
