About this Event
Richmond Famous is the city’s premier storytelling and improv show, featuring an all-star cast of Coalition performers and your favorite Richmond celebrities. Each month we welcome a new Richmond-area citizen as our featured guest. The guests share real, true stories from their lives. The cast hear the stories for the very first time alongside the audience, and then they use the stories as inspiration to create a hilarious comedy show right before your eyes!
Our featured guest this month is Kimberly Graziano (also known as Bunny Machine) (@bunnymachine). Kimberly is a tattoo artist who specializes in anime-style work and whose vibrant, enterprising spirit has left an indelible mark on Richmond’s tattoo scene. Kimberly founded and co-owns Black Rabbit Tattoo (@black_rabbit_tattoo)—a tattoo shop with locations in the Fan and Forest Hill—with the vision of creating a space that would be more inclusive and support a wider range of art and clientele than she had experienced while training in more traditional tattoo parlors. Since its 2015 opening, Black Rabbit has grown into a locally beloved and nationally renowned fixture, with customers traveling from across the country to link up with its artists (including, of course, Kimberly herself). Kimberly’s pioneering work in the anime tattoo art style has earned her a substantial fan base on social media (160k+ Instagram followers, as of October 2026). We are delighted to welcome Kimberly to Richmond Famous and celebrate her contributions to the Richmond art scene!
