The Variety Artists of New Zealand was founded in 1968 and incorporated in 1979. We are based in Auckland, New Zealand, but represent Variety acts and entertainers from all around New Zealand. To promote the spirit of Variety entertainment we hold Variety concerts each year to raise funds for the club and as a community service for the NZ Senior Citizens. Funds raised for the club enable us to perform at and support worthwhile charities within the community. (See VAC in the Community page)

Our principal charity this year is Kidney Kids

Our friendly meet and greet evenings at The Gables Tavern (Jervois Road, Herne Bay) are lots of fun, and give performers a chance to talk and share ideas with other entertainers, and maybe even try out new acts before using them on the public. We publish a newsletter, which goes out to members all around the world.

Our annual awards night is a chance to really step out in style. Top acts from around the country attend, and awards and scrolls of honor are given out to deserving acts. Our major award is the "Benny" named after a famous NZ magician Edgar Benyon. Each year one is awarded to someone who has excelled or contributed to the industry above the "norm".

If you are interested in joining us you do not need to be an entertainer, just somebody interested in this field. We would love to see you at our next meet and greet or give us your contact details in the box below, and we will put you on our database and keep you informed of events.
