August 2026

Hi team!

I took July off from writing these updates. I left the city a few times, logged off and did my best to relax - which doesn’t come easily to my type-A ass. But I did it!

I’m back and joining a new campaign at tabletopnotch - it’s DnD meets Slow Horses/Department Q, where a group of misfit agents are attempting to solve magical cold cases. It’s only just begun (my first ep is #6) so hop on in and join the hunt to solve the case in Blood Be the Turnips! We’re live every Sunday on Twitch, and then available to stream on Youtube and wherever you get your podcasts. It’s super fun :)

Lots of shows (in NYC and elsewhere) next month, so keep an eye out. And an update about Comedian Traitors in June: I was selected as a traitor (I did not win) and brought as much feral energy as I could muster to being a villain. It was a blast and check out the fab portrait that Arin Sang-urai took that night!

Hugs,

Deirdre

Shows!

I’m doing Comedian Traitors tomorrow night at 9:30pm at Caveat - livestream tickets are available too (and you can watch up to 14 days later if that’s past your bed time). My dear friend Christopher Morucci does his best Alan Cumming as the host and this is actually my 2nd time on the show! I was the first person murdered in the first ever Comedian Traitors and I’m determined to make it to the 2nd round at least. It’s gonna be a really fun night, if you are a fan of the Peacock original or not.

Then, on Thursday the 4th and 11th, I’ll be back at Young Ethel’s for the 8pm time slot’s Bar-Prov Experiment. It’s free and fun and you should come.

Finally, Bisque’s signature show is back at Caveat on Tuesday June 23rd at 7pm. Tickets go to support The Brigid Alliance and if you aren’t in NYC, you can buy an $10 livestream ticket and watch for 2 weeks after the show! So really no excuse not to buy a tickie here. Early bird tickets are available until June 16th.

That’s all for now - see below for a photo of my first time on Comedian Traitors. I’m not wearing a hat this time - hats put a target on your back.

It would be so funny tho, to be killed first again

May 2026

Hey gang,

Officer Scott: Too Much Isn’t Enough isn’t doing a July show anymore (summer in NYC folks be clearing out), so your last chance for a while to see us at Brooklyn Art Haus is May 22nd & 23rd. Tickets here and follow us on instagram - I’m sure there will be more further down the line but this is it for a bit!

Bar-Prov continues at Young Ethel’s at 8:30pm on the first 2 Thursdays of the month and as always, it’s FREE! (though I won’t be there this week 😔)

This weekend we are starting a new mini-campaign tabletopnotch! It’s a new TTRPG-system based on Brandon Sanderson’s world of Cosmere. If that means anything to you nerds - hop on in and watch us on twitch, YouTube or wherever you podcast, cuz it’s only gonna be 4 weeks! Big epic fantasy fun!

Keeping it short because things are a little busy with the day job and life. Gotta go to the gym. Hugs,

April 2026

Hey team,

I cannot believe it’s already April. When the world is bleak, I try to look to nature to ground myself. As I was walking Bonnie this morning, I realized that almost overnight, everything is so green. Flowers blooming, the vibrancy of spring exploding.

Speaking of exploding, Officer Scott: Too Much Isn’t Enough is back! (What an incredible transition.) At Brooklyn Art Haus this weekend April 10 & 11th at 7pm (and then shows May 22nd & 23rd, and July 10 & 11th). You really oughtta get tickets here and follow us on instagram! It is kind of a joy explosion - queer and silly and full of songs and dancing. It’s fun stuff :)

Bar-Prov continues at Young Ethel’s at 8:30pm on the first 2 Thursdays of the month (April 9th). As a reminder, it’s FREE!

Our Dungeons and Dragons,Wild West-themed campaign “Brunkhollow” at tabletopnotch is coming to an end! After 2 and a half years, it’s world saving time, so if you want to start the campaign from the beginning, you’ll know there’s gonna be about 90 episodes (lol). And I’ll be continuing on as a cast member so if that seems like too much content to catch up on, good news is we’ll be starting a new adventure soon:)

Sorry for ham-fisting the spring thing but I mean it. It really is a good reminder that everything has a season.

Love to you all, now go outside,

DM
