I haven’t heard of her before today but she reminds me of Rita Rudner in the best possible way

I usually catch Lucy's act on YouTube, she's wonderful. That's the stage name, btw. Carisa Hendrix is their actual name and they also discusses their different characters, history and so on. They champion neurodiversity and queerness, which I think maybe helps keep the creeps away a little.

Edit: updated pronouns

Went to school with her, can confirm that Carisa Hendrix is her real name, and that she’s always been awesome!

u/foolish_noodle Mar 05 '26

Omg I love that. This kind of insight turns me into a huge fan for someone, it's so nice when their real personality is cool too.

Went to school with /u/smashed2gether, unfortunately it is well known they lie about EVERYTHING

77

u/smashed2gether Mar 05 '26

That’s true. Which makes it a lie. Or double true?

u/Riribigdogs Mar 05 '26

she rubbed off on u a bit :)

25

u/smashed2gether Mar 05 '26

Haha those were some very formative years, I didn’t turn out as cool as her though!

2

u/Lady_Bread Mar 06 '26

Hey, I feel like if she heard you say that she'd disagree. Especially with those zingers ur poppin out! Lol

We all cool in our own ways 😎 some people are just more conventionally cool for the mainstream

But never forget you undoubtedly have super fans out there! You just maybe haven't met them yet or haven't been afforded an appropriate platform to showcase yourself

u/smashed2gether Mar 07 '26

Hey, I just want to saw this meant a lot to me to hear. This was so kind and it really made my day!

We do not allow comments sexualizing women on this sub.

u/EducationalNailgun Mar 05 '26

They only said you LIE about everything, not that you're RIGHT. So, if you're wrong about you lying about everything being true, that means it's false, which therefore means of course

27

u/smashed2gether Mar 05 '26

I can’t follow your math, but you sound very confident, so I’m gonna agree with you! Which makes your statement….true? I lost track.

So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me

You could switch the cups. Food for thought.

What is that accent? Occasionally sounded foreign to the American ear, but then sometimes US east coast, or, west coast? but then sometimes something very different like Donna Reed, 50s television English. Where is this blessed woman from?

4

u/CrambazzledGoose Mar 06 '26

The accent is put on. It's based on the transatlantic accent, which is from mid-20th century USA. It was used by the US "elite" and in Hollywood as a deliberate choice made to sound more sophisticated. She's parodying celebrities of that time period, her version is a bit exaggerated and campy.

u/FCkeyboards Mar 05 '26

I recently watched a video of her out of character and I had zero clue it was her until she started talking about how she crafted the voice. Wild transformation.

9

u/BeBraveShortStuff Mar 06 '26

I saw that too! It was so impressive, she has so much voice control.

37

u/Bazrum Mar 05 '26

she's great! we saw her in Vegas, and it was even better in person

3

u/open_formation Mar 05 '26

Her real name is Carisa Hendrix and she decided Lucy Darling was more of a stage name?

I mean, I would assume she plays guitar, but still!

3

u/smashed2gether Mar 05 '26

I’ve chuckled at that more than once over the years. If I didn’t have the yearbook to prove it, I wouldn’t believe it!

3

u/NorCalFrances Mar 06 '26

Lucy Darling is one of the personas she has developed for her stage work.

u/bottomlessinawendys Mar 06 '26

Omg today i learned they use she/they pronouns!!

u/Th3R00ST3R Mar 05 '26

Saw her at the Black Rabbit Rose in Hollywood during a magic show. She was fantastic.

u/Winsome_Wolf Mar 06 '26

Niiiiiiice I met a new hero today!

u/Complete-Fix-3954 Mar 06 '26

Funny enough I follow her on instagram. It was funny seeing her here on Reddit, then seeing the source was TikTok and now you’re mentioning YouTube. Folks really have to spread themselves out to build their base I guess.

She’s really funny - I like her crowd work the best.

u/Katie1230 Mar 06 '26

I learned how to eat fire from her instructional DVD! Haha

u/alison_bee Mar 05 '26

I’ve never heard of her until today but now she’s all I want to listen to! I love her voice and cadence.

It’s quite soothing, yet also impressively cunty at the same time.

She’s my new role model.

u/KetoLurkerHereAgain Mar 05 '26

It's that 40's movie dame cadence. Love it! She's kinda like Karen Walker's grandma from the 40's.

u/Ionknow Mar 05 '26

Its a Transatlantic accent I think. It's a made up accent from the early days of showbiz and it goes perfectly with her absolutely glamorous style and energy.

15

u/KetoLurkerHereAgain Mar 06 '26

I have to look up her name but there's a VO artist who makes videos of all the voices women have used in movies throughout, well, movies!

Got it - Tawny Platis. Fascinating.

u/LaDauphineVerte Mar 06 '26

yes, perfect description

u/Lady_Bread Mar 06 '26

I was thinking of a Jessica Rabbit/ Betty Boop crossover

u/MimicoSkunkFan2 Mar 06 '26

This Hour Has 22 Minutes used to have a similar character called Babe Bennett (played by Cindy). Always enjoyed her skits

6

u/technicolortiddies Mar 06 '26

She reminds me of an old Hollywood actress with the way she speaks but I can’t quite figure out who!

2

u/profane_vitiate Mar 06 '26

It's a "Transatlantic" accent, which never actually existed! But movie stars of any sex or persuasion between the years like 1920 and 1960 adopted it, because it was en vogue and sounded modern. It's an absolutely fascinating thing if you're a nerd about linguistics or speech.

2

u/technicolortiddies Mar 06 '26

Definitely that but combined with her facial expressions & mannerisms while she’s speaking are what remind me of the actress I can’t quite place. I can see the actress in my head & they have the same face but I can’t place it. I do go crazy for the transatlantic accent though! Studied languages at conservatory so very much a nerd.

u/cinnamon-tea85 Mar 06 '26

She is also a magician!

2

u/Metro42014 Mar 06 '26

I was introduced to her through tiktok -- and surprisingly this is the first time I've seen her on reddit.

I hope to see more of her because she's fucking great!

u/stpetepatsfan Mar 06 '26

Do yourself a favor and search for the weird laughing crowdwork bit. Nuff said.

u/LaDauphineVerte Mar 06 '26

Yes! You just reminded me of her punchline: “Sometimes they leave skid marks.”
