I bought her surprise tickets to go see...

What was it? Lucy Darling? It's like some comedian that she loves.

never heard of her

yeah it's a chick thing like she doesn't know she doesn't know about them or anything like that so i'm just gonna take her out on like saturday and be like oh while we're here we're gonna go out to this like i bought these tickets they're like the big convention center and stuff and she i'm gonna be like surprise her but it's like she's still like injured so i'm just like hey i think you should take a lot of pain medicine we might have to walk randomly for no reason She doesn't know about it, so I'm like, you should take 800 milligrams of ibuprofen tonight, sweet pea.

That's another thing that's starting to come into our realm is.

Have you seen Lucy Darling on TikTok? Let's see what she costs, you know, things like that.

So you, you pretty much build wish lists that you keep ongoing and keeping your eyes and ears out for.

And ideally you want to get them when they're touring, because that's usually more affordable and easier production wise.

I'm going to tangent a little bit.

We went to Lucy Darling on Sunday night,

right? I like her in how she dresses.

Not the same attractiveness outside of her dress up.

So Dawn gets the Apple and she's asking Dawn questions.

And of course, immediately Dawn's like, well, I own a rage room in the area, which of course there's a lot of our customers.

It seemed we're at Lucy Darling on Sunday night because they're all like, oh, I know her.

And then, you know, she asks about me, so I get the thing.

Oh, like, you know, all these people that play Blood on the Clocktower constantly and go to conventions and I see them.

And I saw my friend Mark and Lucy this last week.

We play board games and like, I don't know.

I just...

It's weird because like, let me get back to that.

Um, by the way, I listened to episode one.

when I was driving to Mark and Lucy's house to play board games because they live a little bit away.

And I recognize, and I know this is annoying, that I don't always finish my sentences.

And it's just, it's super, super cool.

So I went to go see this woman, Lucy Darling, and I adore her.

It was a fantastic show.

If you ever get a chance to go see her, I would highly recommend it because it's comedic, but yeah, I don't know how to describe it.

And I'm like, every guy that walks in there has to be like, everybody can see y'all peeing.

Like doesn't anybody care? And so I kind of, when I saw that, I'm like, oh, and it just kind of came out.

And the woman in front of me turns around and looks at me and I go, I didn't realize that we could see everything.

And she goes, what? And then she looks over and she starts laughing, going, oh, my God.

And they were asking some questions first about improv.

And Lucy said, well, you can always tell when I'm searching for something if I go, Ah, yes.

She says, I'm usually trying to figure something out.

And another question that they got, and then her pianist answered it.

Yeah.

And so it was so great to hear that as a former improv person, as somebody that loves improv yet and loves to watch improv falls, and to see the way that they're approaching it, not just from, hey, it's cool that...

You know, Carissa comes up here as Lucy Darling and gives you an hour and a half to two hour show.

And then for him, everything that he improvised on piano, much like Michael, and just amazing stuff that they kept talking about and urging people, even if you're planning on going into straight theater, just doing straight plays.

And, you know, hopefully you sell more than the last time you were there.

So I was listening to, oh, I was listening to Lucy Darling talk about the way she built up her show.

And it's really interesting.

She took this, she has this approach that I don't think There's some things I really like about her approach.

Because I have lots of people that are like, oh, I wish I had known you were coming.

And it's like, well, I paid for an Instagram ad.

i have 140 000 tick tock followers it literally means nothing like it having hundreds of thousands of followers on tick tock is like so unhelpful for anything except occasionally making a dumb ass video that breaks through and becomes popular um but lucy darling has a thing where like if you go early to the shows there's a whole like From her description, like a photo booth and like activities and stuff like that.

And I'm kind of intrigued by this actually, like probably not for next year, but I kind of like the idea that like, if you come, you know, three hours early to a Chris Gray standup show that there's going to be like board games for you to play.
