    From Saskatchewan to Times Square: The Making of Lucy Darling

    SEASON 7 IS HERE — AND DARLING, WE’RE STARTING WITH A BANG! Pour the champagne, find your best diamonds and prepare to be completely charmed, because Kevjet – The Podcast is BACK — and kicking off Season 7 with the incomparable Carisa Hendrix, the brilliant creator and performer behind the deliciously glamorous, quick-witted and utterly unforgettable Lucy Darling. But behind the cocktails, gowns, magic and razor-sharp one-liners is a story you probably haven't heard. Carisa takes Kevjet all the way back to growing up in northern Saskatchewan — a self-described small-town farm girl who never dreamed she'd one day see her face towering over Times Square. At just 16, life took an unexpected turn when Carisa found herself needing to make money and survive. Armed with a handful of card tricks, the ability to eat fire, walk on broken glass and juggle a little, she took a $50-a-night performing job at a haunted house. She admits she was terrible. So what did she do? Five shows a night. Twenty-eight nights. Learn. Fail. Rewrite. Repeat. And somehow, what began as a way to pay the bills became the beginning of an extraordinary life in show business. Carisa reveals the moment she realised performing wasn't simply a job — it was what she was meant to do — and why that discovery initially led to some of the hardest years of her life. Then there's the small matter of becoming a Guinness World Record holder. Carisa tells the absolutely WILD story of travelling to Italy to attempt a fire-eating record she didn't believe she could possibly break… only to hold a burning torch in her mouth for two minutes and one second, win the record, celebrate — and then experience the frightening physical consequences on the journey home. And somehow, even THAT story is hilarious. Then we meet Lucy. Carisa reveals how Lucy Darling was born from a deeply personal experiment: what would happen if someone who constantly cared for everyone else created a character who was profoundly selfish — and somehow made the world fall in love with her? Inspired by the glamorous women of old Hollywood, Lucy became a cocktail-drinking, hyper-feminine bon vivant who isn't remotely interested in entertaining an audience. No, darling. The audience is there to entertain HER. Carisa opens up about taking Lucy to Australia when practically nobody believed in the character, finding an audience that helped shape her, exploding online during the pandemic, signing with William Morris Endeavor and eventually seeing Lucy Darling staring back at her from a billboard in Times Square. But when the wig comes off, where does Lucy Darling end and Carisa Hendrix begin? Carisa gets remarkably candid about the psychological guardrails she's created between herself and Lucy, why she refuses to allow the character to consume her identity — and the moments when Lucy still tries to sneak out in real life. Especially when somebody pisses Carisa off. Apparently Lucy would very much like to handle it. We also talk success, fame, scammers impersonating her online, being recognised by her fellow magicians, the emotional significance of twice winning Stage Magician of the Year at the Magic Castle, and what it meant to finally realise that her peers weren't simply being nice: They respected her work. And then... It's KEVJET QUICK FIRE. Diamonds or pearls? Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling? What happens if Céline Dion walks into her show? How much money has Lucy spent on costumes?! Who would Lucy most like to share a stage with? And what on EARTH would happen if Lucy Darling had to work a nine-to-five? Spoiler alert: She'd be fired. But beneath all the glamour and hilarity comes one of the most beautiful lessons of the conversation. Lucy has taught Carisa that prioritising yourself doesn't mean everyone you love will disappear — and that living unapologetically begins not only with accepting yourself, but extending that same acceptance to other people. Funny. Emotional. Outrageous. Inspiring. And very, very fabulous. This isn't simply the story of Lucy Darling. It's the story of Carisa Hendrix — the small-town Canadian kid who learned how to eat fire because she needed a job… and somehow ended up creating one of magic's most unforgettable characters. Welcome to Season 7 of KEVJET – THE PODCAST. Darling… we're back.   https://www.carisahendrix.com/
