Hey there,

Welcome to Ask a Fuckboy’s newsletter where we’ll 1.) announce ticket drops and 2.) spotlight the craziest texts and stories from our live show or greater community.

Ticket Drop:

Recent Show/Popup/Community Highlights:

1. Partnering with Geologie to Bring You the Smoothest Fuckboys in Town

In celebration of Geologie’s new Clear System, they’ve decided to throw all brand-safety to the wind and partner with us, Ask a Fuckboy, an unhinged comedy show for degenerate, borderline-feral Down Baddies. But cute ones!

At our March 7th show, we’ll not only be giving away goodie bags stuffed with unreal Geologie products, we’ll also be playing skincare-themed games with our panel and enjoying smooth skin while tolerating their smooth answers.

So come, bring your situationship, or (better yet) bring your girls, stock up on product, put it in your medicine cabinet, and make him wonder what sexy, well-groomed man you’ve started seeing.

Tickets here!

2. Viral but like in a good way and not like HPV

Of course, when you’re building a comedy show, you do want to stay engaged on social media. We’ve been making an effort to post often within our niche (dating frustration/fuckboy chaos/generally being female and unhinged), and we’ve had a lot of recent success with that on IG in particular!

This video has been quickly helping our little account grow - thank you to everyone who engaged and liked our much, much, much much much much less viral content before now to help us along the way. Still got a lot of work to do but it’s nice to feel like the internet understands what we’re about (dating angst, self-negotiation over standards, and wearing skintight bodysuits while limbo rollerblading).

Also, as every viral video does, it attracted lots of incels. So that’s fun.

3. Life Updates

Q. Andie, how’s dating going for you?

A. Guys, I’m down bad. A man wrote the unTHINKable over text to me this week.

He’ll “text me morning of to confirm”? Excuse me? What is happening right now? Am I on a TV show? Is Ashton Kutcher going to pop out at the bar we’re going to and tell me I’m being punk’d?

Needless to say, I immediately fell in love with this man and his clear communication. Now the only problem is I have until the Thursday to overanalyze literally every single piece of comms we’ve shared. That do be how it be sometimes.

Also, I successfully avoided a day-time date this week. How are y’all doing coffee dates?? Is your skin really clear or something? Candle lighting only for me ty.

Q. Val, how about you?

A. Recently Andie and I went to a party and were introduced as the “Ask a Fuckboy” girls. I really loved it—I feel like it opened up a whole world of people oversharing to me because they think I want to hear all their messy drama. It’s like when you’re a doctor and people ask you random medical questions, but instead of that it’s crazy dating stories (which obviously I’m always down to hear).

There were some cute guys at this party too, so it quickly opened the door to them just telling me everything about their dating lives. Andie and I were joking about starting a podcast just so we can interview guys we’re interested in about how they date. So if we launch an “Ask a Fuckboy” pod and there’s ever some really boring episodes featuring semi-normal dudes as guests, just know it’s me and Andie making a move! (Or we’re bad at booking). Either way, root for us!

We’ll keep you guys in the loop, thanks for reading!

Oh, and send us your gossip/stories so we can feature them in our next newsletter/show.

Love, your favorite Down Baddies,

Andie and Val <3
