Burlington: Lucy Darling [Apr 23]

From The Burlington Performing Arts Centre:

The reigning stage magician of the year Lucy Darling has won the world over for her wit, her charm, and her exceptionally good hair. Lucy is a lady magician who brings together a potent mix of playful improvisational comedy, witty writing, and impossible magical feats. Evoking comparisons to everyone from Dame Edna to Pee Wee Herman, this edgy, postmodern character is a double shot of magical mischief, with a splash of old Hollywood and a dash of Dorothy Parker.

Her history is shrouded in mystery, several ex-husbands and wives. International traveler, major style and culture icon with desire to share her magical life and gifts with select audiences in high and low places. She loves you all but her disarming wit reveals truthful and delightful insights. A one of a kind entertainer, a throwback who is on the cutting edge. You are about to fall in love with Lucy Darling.
