Royal Variety Performance

The Royal Variety Performance is a gala evening held in London once each year, usually in a theatre in the West End. Comics and other entertainers perform before royalty and a television audience. The show is designed to raise money for the Entertainment Artistes Benevolent Fund. The first show, on July 1, 1912, was called the Royal Command Performance, this name has persisted informally for the event.
