Come meet Lucy & Lucky – two "gossip gals" in their 30s/40s hosting a talk show at Black Box teater. Across four episodes, the Lucy & Lucky Show follows the differentphases of the menstrual cycle – categorized and interpreted entirely on the duo's own terms. Audiences can expect anything from competitions and therapy sessions to a magical "body fluid kitchen," splatter, and hormonally driven displays of power. Additionally, secret guests will appear in each episode to share their wisdom.
Lucy & Lucky aim to create a new kind of meeting place. They work naively and fearlessly to break social codes by getting uncomfortably close and displaying oversized emotions. Since 2024, the duo has built a digital universe as part of their "larger than life" strategy. They have previously presented work at Kunstnerforbundet and the Sandaker Trialektek Cringe Conference.
From salon activities during Oslo Pride to handing out placenta shots at premiere parties around the city, Lucy & Lucky are building a steadily growing fanbase they hope will feel like "one big family." And they all have one thing in common: the two disruptive, yet open, aunts – Lucy and Lucky.
The Lucy & Lucky Show takes over Black Box teater for four nights. The performance is filmed live and released online as a digital TV series.

● Josephine Kylén-Collins and Lærke Grøntved are performance and drag artists educated at the Norwegian Theatre Academy in Fredrikstad. The duo have previously gained recognition as co-founders of the drag king group Gutta and the duo RichHard and Larry.
Their collaboration stems from a desire to challenge and parody established truths. They actively seek out what feels "wrong" or inappropriate, utilizing the uncertainty that arises at the intersection of irony and deep sincerity. Kylén-Collins and Grøntved are driven by a curiosity about how prejudice and categorizations can be flipped on their head and used as tools for liberation.
They work purposefully to blur the lines between fantasy and what we call reality. This ambition is central to the universe of Lucy & Lucky, where they present themselves as "manifestation workers" who – together with their audience – transform dreams into reality and make the fantastic real.
