We like love to get weird.

June line up coming soon!

Always seeking new musicians, writers, storytellers, comedians, and “other acts.”

Banana Pitch interviews musicians, writers, storytellers, comedians, and “other acts.” The live variety show features short interviews and short sets from all sorts of styles and vibes.

The Pitch encourages boundary pushing and curiosity and crying and laughing and clapping and singing and stomping and dancing and shouting and storytelling and nonsensicality. Art, above all. That’s what it is.

Remove the part about the fear of doing it and you’ve got Banana Pitch.

It started with the idea for a show…

Pitch on the Streets

Banana Pitch talks to people who are excited about what they’re doing.

Check out some of the ridiculous interviews.

The Banana Pitch Variety show is produced and hosted by music and arts journalist Michelle Kicherer. Her hosting style has been described as “pleasantly awkward” and funny.

This specially curated variety show and interview series features writers, musicians, comedians and "other acts." We’ve interviewed a puppy and had an "eat a cookie together" segment. We’ve had physical comedians and tear-jerking storytellers. Emerging musicians next to rising stars. You never know what'll happen.

Our goal is to put different genres and mediums onto one stage and for folks to sit down for a night of performances you might not normally see, but that you might fall in love with. Guaranteed fun or your money back, questions asked.
