Carisa Hendrix, aka Lucy Darling, was a recent guest on Deadline’s Comedy Means Business, a podcast that provides a deep dive into the world of comedy.
Her episode clocks in at 1.5 hours, and in it she goes through how she got into magic, created Lucy Darling, and a whole lot more. Things that might be of particular interest to Genii readers are her strategy to invest in four-wall theaters to get her tour off the ground, why she’s running six shows concurrently, and how she created her own “algorithm” to find the best locations to hold performances.
She also talks about how her shows are a full experience that creates community, and that social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram are “the modern variety show… it’s vaudeville all over again.” Give it a listen!
