The spotlight is back on the girl who redefined what it means to be a ventriloquist. Darci Lynne is hitting the road for her “Up Close & Personal Tour,” and she isn’t coming alone. If you’ve seen her latest tour posters, you’ll notice a very familiar, slightly grumpy face right by her side. It’s Edna Doorknocker, the spectacle-wearing puppet who has become just as much of a star as Darci herself.
Edna has always been the boldest member of Darci’s puppet family. While Darci brings the charm and the soaring vocals, Edna brings the bite. Over the years, we’ve watched Edna evolve from a shy girl’s stage companion into a full-blown diva with a wicked sense of humor. She has a personality that seems to take over the room the moment she “wakes up.”
Ummm hello??? Who is the mystery man? | Darci Lynne
Her journey to the big stage started with a moment that left one of the world’s toughest critics speechless. Before she was headlining tours, Edna was busy making a name for herself on national television. There is a legendary clip from America’s Got Talent where Edna decided to set her sights on Simon Cowell. If you want to know what Simon looks like when he blushes, do not miss out on this clip.
Darci Lynne’s Naughty Old-lady Puppet ‘Edna’ Makes Simon Cowell BLUSH!!
Watching the interaction between a 12-year-old Darci and a very flustered Simon tells a lot about the correct comedic timing. Edna also performed with a soulfulness that made everyone forget there was a person pulling the strings.
That same spark is exactly what fans can expect in North Platte NE on February 27. This experience will be completely different from what you saw on TV. The “Up Close & Personal” show promises a deeper look into Darci’s world, featuring new stories and even sharper wit from Edna.
The bond between Darci and her old lady puppet is something you have to see to believe. On Friday night, the curtain rises, and Edna gets the last word once again.
