Distracted performance aficionados who find sitting past the first act agonizing should scope out Viva Variety, a company that has performed gay and gay-friendly cabaret since 1999, making it San Francisco's longest-running variety show. An array of dancers, storytellers, musicians, crooners, and comedians makes up the repertoire, ensuring there's ne'er a dull moment. Tonight's event features, among others, Project Pimento, a space-age lounge band with a twist of retro funk, and Miss Coco Peru, a brash Bronx-accented monologist/drag diva. But the evening's not all winks and titters: All proceeds support local nonprofits, in this case Thrive SF, which offers assistance to people with HIV/AIDS. Think of it as camp for a cause. See the spectacle at 8 at ODC Theatre, 3153 17th St. (at Shotwell), S.F. Admission is $12-20; call 863-9834 or visit www.vivavariety.org.
