“I’m grateful that I did it. It was so
much fun.”
The Nocturne Theatre, a regional playhouse near the sprawling Glendale Galleria
and steps away from Glendale’s Brand Boulevard commercial district, was the venue
for “The Abella Show,” a new podcast from Brazzers Creator that launched in July.
The surprisingly intimate theater, with a sunken stage surrounded on all four sides
by plush red seats, is dominated by a backlit neon-looking sign with “The Abella
Show” logo. On a round red carpet, two Art Deco gold-and-black chairs face an
Art Deco gold-and-black glass-topped table, with an identical table stage right with
pink roses in a vase. A small musical combo sets up on an elevated platform in the
back corner of the room, with guitar, sax, stand-up bass and drum players visible.
Three cameras on tripods are outside the perimeter of the red rug, two for close-ups
and one master shot. The band warms up, playing riffs from jazz classics—Night
Train, Take Five, Manhã de Carnaval—as they work out cues with a producer.
The lobby is filled with “The Abella Show” logo swag bags, with a red carpet
along one side wall with a logo step-and-repeat, and an open bar. Publicist Brian
Gross mingles as Codey Steele, Kira Noir, Peter Warren walk in. Photographers walk
around, shooting stills and video. Manuel Ferrara, Abigaiil Morris, Summer Kline,
Gal Ritchie. Talent rep Mark Spiegler shambles in, wearing a black T-shirt saying
I SWEAR IT’S ABELLA’S FAULT in red letters. Michael Jackson’s “Bad” plays in
the background. Spotted in the crowd: Daniel Shar, Seth Gamble, Armani Black,
Karla Lane, Jayden Stone, Leana Lovings, Holly Randall, Charlie Forde, Summer
Col, Blake Blossom, Cheerleader Kait, Leilani Li, Cyber Doll, Aleksa Mink, Chanel
Camryn, Ricky Greenwood, Yhivi, Sarah Arabic.
When the theater opens up, the backlit neon sign is revealed to be a video screen,
showing images of Abella Danger conducting interviews. As people take their
seats, comedian CJ Marrinan starts the show, recognizing Girthmasterr in a front
row seat (“Try and keep your dick off the stage.”) before the countdown and the
announcer’s excited introduction of “your host—the one, the only, the magnificent...
Abella Danger!”
