Confirmation Sponsor Variety Hour is a joint show from Emma Quinlan Baxter and Fenton Lio — a confirmation sponsor and sponsee splitting a variety hour at the Stephenson Theatre. Fenton performs as a singer-songwriter and Emma does stand-up, with the pair presenting what they call a talent show sponsored by God. The show is 50 minutes long and suitable for ages 12 and over. The description notes both performers are 18 and 27 respectively.
Why see this show?
An unlikely comedy partnership — a Catholic sponsor and sponsee dividing stage time for stand-up and original songs. Cheerfully odd, genuinely personal, and refreshingly low-key in its ambitions.
