It has been seven years since a 12-year-old girl stood on the “America’s Got Talent” stage and stunned the world without even moving her lips. Now, Darci Lynne is bringing that same magic to Paris, Tennessee, with her “Up Close & Personal Tour.” The show is set for Thursday, October 23, at 7:30 PM, at the Krider Performing Arts Center. Fans are already buzzing, this will not be just another comedy show. It is a night where laughter, music, and childhood wonder meet right in the heart of a small town.
This tour will mark Darci’s next big step. She will still be the ventriloquist who once made America laugh, but now she will also bring her growth as a singer, songwriter, and storyteller to the stage. Joined by her puppet friends, Petunia, Oscar, Edna, and the newer Andy, Darci will turn the stage into a place where everyone, no matter their age, feels like a kid again. Each performance will blend clean humor, music, and sharp wit. The show’s title says it all, it will truly be “Up Close & Personal.”
Darci Lynne & Friends: Up Close & Personal Tour — Paris, TN
Fans across the country have filled comment sections with excitement and warmth. One fan wrote that Darci “makes you laugh till you cry.” Another said her shows “feel like spending an evening with an old friend.” Her fans describe her as “real”, “kind” and “down-to-earth,” the kind of performer who remembers where she came from.
That same heart shines in another moment with her sassy puppet Edna Doorknocker. In a hilarious scene, Edna admits she is heartbroken but ready to flirt her way back to happiness. With Darci’s help, Edna sets her sights on a man in the front row named Shane and from there, the room lights up with laughter and song.
Edna Finds “Somebody to Love” Darci Lynne
The highlight comes when Edna bursts into Queen’s “Somebody to Love” and Lionel Richie’s “Hello.” Her voice is powerful and funny all at once, sweet, lonely, and fearless. Viewers could not get enough. One said, “I have watched this three times today,” while another wrote, “Edna is the grandma we all wish we had.” It is the kind of comedy that makes you laugh and sigh at the same time.
Darci Lynne is growing up in front of her audience, but she has never lost her spark. Whether she is performing live in Paris, TN, or singing through Edna about lost love, she carries that same charm that made America fall in love with her. She blends humor, heart, and music in a way only she can. Follow Darci Lynne on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Prepare to laugh, sing, and perhaps even get a little emotional when she gets “up close and personal.”
