An all-new killer show from ‘Housewives’ star Luann de Lesseps. Known across the globe as ‘The Countess’, she’s without a doubt one of the most popular cast members of the Real Housewives franchise.
A-lister Countess Luann, and one of the OG’s of ‘The Real Housewives of New York’ brings her Sold Out In the USA live cabaret show, Marry, F, Kill! to the UK, for the first time. Being a huge fan I was honoured to catch up with the star over Zoom from the States to chat about the show at Brighton Dome later this month.
Luann told me, ‘In the show I will be sharing stories about love lost, and love gained, and about taking chances in life. My philosophy is when those train doors open, get on the train, don’t be the person left standing on the platform. The show is about my disastrous online dating, it’s about The Real Housewives, and ultimate girls’ trips. We are going to talk about all that, and of course its pop culture, and it’s a great big sing-along. The show is cabaret, meets pop culture, meets a Jovani fashion show, meets comedy, it’s such a fun ride, I share a lot of epic moments of the show from the past. I talk about, of course, ‘Marry, F, Kill’ , my new track which is on iTunes and Spotify right now!’
Already her dates in London, Manchester, and Mighty Hoopla are sold out. Brighton, a later addition to the schedule is on sale now. I ask the Countess if the show is based on the popular party game? She revealed, ‘Exactly right, we are going to be talking about how we would marry, who we would F, and obviously we’re not killing anybody, but, you know…’
Lu is getting into glam, there are make-up brushes everywhere while we chat, and just for fun, I ask, ‘Marry, F, Kill? Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, and Rod Stewart? She laughs, replying, ‘I’m definitely going to F Harry Styles, marry Ed Sheeran, because he likes to write music, like me, and he’s very rich and so sorry to Rod, because we have to kill somebody.’
