From the September 7th article "The Business of Lucy Darling: How Carisa Hendrix Went From Performing At Haunted Houses To Touring Globally As Her Old Hollywood-Inspired Character – Comedy Means Business Podcast" by Matt Grobar at Deadline:
When data suggested that Lucy could go from playing to audiences in the hundreds to theaters with a capacity in the thousands, Hendrix put her own money behind the theory to get promoters behind her, absorbing tens of thousands of dollars in expenses to book venues in the Pacific Northwest through four-wall rental arrangements.
