Comedian Gabey Lucas Returns!

Two years ago, comedian Gabey Lucas did an hour about the Pig War. This is a work-in-progress preview of her second hour, Check Out This Potato That Looks Like a Beluga Whale, that will be debuting at the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe. It's not about the Pig War. Please don't come expecting an hour of stand-up comedy about the Pig War. Do come expecting this:

Gabey has a comedy show to do, but she also has to get in her daily butt exercises… or else. Apologies if they overlap. Meanwhile, let's discover the magic of mediocre ice hockey, 14,784,378 dried red beans and Swiss Guard fashionistas. Plus, there are potentially two whole different whales in this show. That's 200 to one infinity percent more whales than most shows. "Highly watchable, absurd ... with some absolute pearls. Gabey makes it look easy" (Terry Pratchett biographer Marc Burrows). "Delightfully odd" (Wee Review Scotland).

About
Gabey Lucas is a Seattle comedian who's been called “a f&%^ing great writer” (Patrick Borelli, The Tonight Show) and "witty yet strangely informative" (some internet commenter). Formerly the humor columnist for The Ubyssey in Vancouver and now a mostly-retired SB Nation writer, she's performed from New Zealand to New Orleans to North Macedonia including at Hell Yes Fest, Rip City Comedy Festival, the Ohrid Summer Comedy Marathon, and the Edinburgh Fringe.

Praise for Gabey and her first Edinburgh Fringe show, A Berkshire Boar Walks Into a Bar (and Gets Shot in the Face):

“Flat out great jokes that I’ll be playing back in my head for ages ... You're missing out on something pretty special if you don't see this.” (Mad Dogs of Cambria podcast)
“An absurdist introspection-lord” (Sam Miller, StandUp! Records)
“Gabey was brilliant ... It deserves to sell out.” (Official EdFringe 2024 audience review)
"Good set. You look like Napoleon Dynamite's sister." (Someone in the YouTube comments)
