Two Dollar Soup is the premier event for variety artists in Central Ohio! Since July 2022, Two Dollar Soup has been hosted at local, independent book publisher Two Dollar Radio Headquarters. With 30+ shows, and 30+ different artsists, this monthly event showcases the best and upcoming variety acts. Featuring the most flavorful and mouthwatering performers from Columbus and surrounding areas, and there's something for everybody! From burlesque and music, to magic and circus! Including world record holders, international award-winners, triple-gold medalists, state champions, the Best of Columbus, and more!
We're proud to be able to provide an inclusive space and opportunity for these entertainers! It's a safe place for people to express themselves and experiment with new ideas, and also deliver road-tested and audience approved material. This show has been the hub and launching place for multiple working artists in the Columbus area.

Two Dollar Soup not only benefits performers, but it also doubles as a food drive for the Mid-Ohio Food Collective. There is a full-time donation drop off location at Two Dollar Radio Headquarters located at 1124 Parsons Ave. Columbus, OH 43206. In addition to food donations, Two Dollar Soup also contributes to other charitable initiatives such as Red Nose Day. To date, the show has been able to provide over 400lbs of food through donations made by the community.
