You're invited to the big magical cult show. Hey culties, it's your host Amanda with a very exciting announcement. I am going on tour. This April I'm coming to Los Angeles, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Boston, Washington, DC, Philly, Portland and this show is gonna be the wackiest, witchiest, weirdest, juiciest, most fun live tour I have ever done in my entire life. I'm going on tour mostly to celebrate my new book The Age of Magical Overthinking. I'm gonna be doing book events in Los Angeles at the Barnes & Noble at the Grove, or I'm gonna be joined by the brilliant actress Pauline Chalamet,

who you might recognize from the Sex Lives of College Girls. And then in New York City, I'm gonna be doing an event at the Strand with the icon of Cinema and Books, Molly Ringwald. But then I'm also gonna be putting on this ridiculous live podcast variety show, Extravaganza, called The Big Magical Cult Show, where your senses are going to be overwhelmed by culty goodness. There's

going to be drag burlesque. There's going to be merch and musical performances. There's going to be guest appearances from some of your favorite cult followed podcasters including Kelsey from Normal Gossip, Kira and Griff from Petty Crimes and more. For the show I'm going to do a juicy little presentation on a subject I know y'all are gonna want to hear about while debuting some segments from my forthcoming magical overthinkers podcast. There will also be an opportunity to meet me hang out, get your books signed, trauma dump, your culti experiences, whatever you want to do, and I'm so pumped to get to meet you in person. I have never put a tour like this together in my entire life.

I am so excited. It's going to be so over the top and I really hope you come. All the dates, details and ticketing information are listed in our show notes as well as on my website amandamontel.com slash events. It's going to be so weird, wacky, nerdy, culty, all the things we love. So join us for the big magical cult tour. See you there.
