Condensed Soup

Condensed Soup is your daily 10-minute dose of sharp pop culture, delightful weirdness, and deep-dive comedy — hosted by Broadway veteran, comedian, and educator Lulu Picart. It’s part late-night monologue, part backstage hang — all wrapped up in a quick package you can take on your commute, your walk, or your pre-show warmup. Come for the small talk, stay for the big talk.
