Come be wowed by local performers in the Cosnanigans Variety Show! Featuring an array of talent in flow, drag, singing, acting, magic, music, and more. These performers are certain to delight and entertain. Come play with us.

In line with our current autograph system, we use a demand-based queueing method. Scheduled times are divided into 15-minute blocks, with an estimated average queue size per block. This estimate may vary for each guest depending on the speed of their line. Using this on-demand based queueing method lets you schedule the time that works best for you while maintaining your freedom to explore the con and attend other activities, rather than waiting in a line for hours! Walk-ups are welcome if a guest has no current line or queue; just ask the autographs team.

Prefer to secure your time slot in advance? You can book online at the link below for a small fee.

Pre-sign-up for autograph slots is open until Sunday, August 31st, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EST. Any remaining slots will be available at the autographs desk during the convention.

Please note: The final 30 minutes of each guest’s scheduled autograph session is reserved for overflow or unforeseen issues and cannot be pre-booked. If you cannot make your reserved time, visit the autographs desk for assistance in rescheduling to an available time.
