Sober LEGO Night Show & Tell + Build with Tamar Routly and Alysse Bryson

Listen. Sobriety did not give us less fun. It gave us better fun. And BACKSTAGE LEGO Night is exhibit A.

On Wednesday, July 22, from 6 to 7pm Pacific, AB is teaming up with Tamar Routly to host the most chaotic, joyful, slightly competitive hour of the BACKSTAGE summer schedule. Think Zoom-meets-show-and-tell-meets-game-night, but every prop is made of plastic bricks and every prize is also made of plastic bricks. Because of course it is.

Here is the plan:

Show and tell. Bring your prized LEGO build to the camera and tell us why it lives rent-free in your home. The Hogwarts Castle you spent three weekends on. The Millennium Falcon your kid built before they left for college. The Botanical Collection orchid you bought on a Tuesday because you needed a Tuesday win. We want to see it.

Work in progress. Got a set you are currently building? Pull it out. Show us the chaos. Tell us where you are stuck. The collective wisdom of the BACKSTAGE Lounge will gladly judge your sorting system.

LEGO Trivia. Tamar and AB are running a fast-paced trivia round on LEGO history, weird sets, and pop culture LEGO moments. Easy questions, hard questions, and at least one question that will have everyone googling under the table.

Prizes. The prizes are LEGO sets. Obviously. We are not insulting your intelligence with a gift card.

This is BACKSTAGE at its best. Hands busy, brain off, surrounded by sober people who get it. No drinking. No pretending. No agenda except to actually enjoy a Wednesday night.

This is a closed BACKSTAGE event. Members only. RSVP to receive your Zoom link via email. The replay drops in the BACKSTAGE Replay Vault for anyone who can’t attend live.
