71. Alanna Darby

Secure the Gag

Our daddy, who art a zaddy, call me by your name!! We are going to church this week on Secure The Gag because we have none other than actor, writer, comedian, singer, lovely person, Alanna Darby (Seasoned, Dracula, TikTok)!!!

Nathan and Alanna chat about Alanna’s viral TikTok videos including her iconic zaddy prayer, the evolution of her identity, and viral sounds. Alanna also shares the story behind her iconic gender introduction videos (look it up!) and the community she’s built online. They also get into Alanna’s musical performances, work in theatre, and her MFA thesis performance that brings her j-o-y. Catch Alanna performing and working all around town! (SHAKESPEARE, heard of her?)
