If you think touring is all about glitz and glamour, Darci Lynne is here to set the record straight. Getting ready for a national tour is a massive job, especially when your co-stars are literal puppets with personalities larger than life.
In a hilarious look back at where the planning began about a year ago, Darci sits down to tackle the dreaded “tour riders.” It turns out her friends have some very specific… and very expensive demands.
The tension starts early with a hilarious “hostage situation” where Darci’s puppets are forced to watch an audition. But the real comedy begins when the lists come out. Oscar seems modest at first with a simple suit steamer, but things take a turn when he mentions Edna’s “special brownies” that make him feel suspiciously happy.
Watch the video that has fans buzzing in the comments about what exactly Edna is putting in her oven!

Then there’s Edna herself, who isn’t just worried about her spare dentures. She has a request for a “shower for two” that leaves Darci completely speechless.
But the real diva crown goes to Petunia of course, who’s demanding a full-blown carrot juice cleanse and a personal esthetician to keep her pores looking “tiny” for the spotlight. It’s a wild glimpse into the world of a superstar ventriloquist and her high-maintenance puppets.
Those funny lists were made a year ago, but some things never change. Fast forward to today, and the tour is full of “good vibes”. Even after a whole year on the road, the puppets are still the ultimate divas. They have traded their long checklists for the perfect stage entrance.
In a quick peek at their tour rehearsals, we see the gang finding their rhythm. From Petunia strutting her “Material Girl” energy to Edna belting out a soulful tune, the “good vibes” are officially in full swing.

It’s clear that while they might be a handful behind the curtain, they are total pros once the music starts.
