Lucy Darling: You're Welcome
Event Information
Lucy first captured the world?s attention in December 2024, when one TikTok clip of her improvisational crowd work skyrocketed to 21 million views. From coast to coast, her shows have sold out in record time, proof that Lucy Darling?s blend of wit, sweetness and old-Hollywood glamour has struck a chord with audiences. Now, Lucy is bringing more mischievous charm to the stage in ?You?re Welcome? ? a touring variety show that is designed to give the fans even more of what they have been craving; a chance to dress up for the night and enter a fantasy world of silly fun and belly laughs. Lucy is joined by musician, composer, and globe-trotting juggler Mark Ettinger of the legendary Flying Karamazov Brothers. This duo?s playful banter and Mark's effortless skills at piano, ukulele, and array of other instruments add sparkle to Lucy?s gin-fueled antics, creating a show that is as enchanting as it is unpredictable.
