Meet The Team
Board of Directors
Brooke Tsipis
Artistic Director
Cofounder
Brooke Tsipis grew up in Durham, North Carolina, staging and performing in shows with her friends any chance she got. A habit that, it turns out, was perfect practice for her future. Her whole life revolved around dance and musical theatre through college, where she studied Theatre Performance and Event Planning at Kent State University (Bachelor of Integrative Studies), and where she ultimately decided to take a step away from the stage.
Now based in New York City, Brooke is the Artistic Director and Co-Founder of Lucky Bra Comedy Productions, where she oversees the creative side of the company's projects and leads its brand design and marketing.
Lucky Bra brought Brooke back to theatre, not in the performer role, but rather building the productions from behind the scenes. Since the birth of the company, she has worked on every single Lucky Bra show in a rotating mix of roles, including production manager, director, choreographer, sound designer, light designer, booth technician, and writer. Did I mention that she also does all the graphic design for the social media? Brooke channels her background in performance, design, and event coordination into every corner of Lucky Bra to create its signature look online and off!
Billy Cummins (Slay) is a New York City based actor, model, performer, and Co-Founder/Director of Operations & Development for Lucky Bra Comedy Productions. Born and raised in Akron, Ohio, he earned his B.A. in Theatre Studies, with a minor in Business from Kent State University, where he further developed his love and passion for musical theatre and sketch comedy. While harvesting his craft, soon followed strong friendships with other very talented and brilliantly hilarious artists, all from different backgrounds yet all developing big dreams. His creative efforts soon blossomed into opportunities, both center-stage and tight close-ups, allowing for his sketch and improv background to drive his personal creative ventures. Making his move to the big apple just as dynamic, bold, and confident as he his!
Billy’s drive and dedication to creating, producing, writing, and starring in projects that showcase queer and underrepresented communities, all while promoting and fundraising for local NYC humanitarian organizations, is something at the forefront of all his efforts. Thus, Lucky Bra was born! Billy’s theatrics have been able to continue to push boundaries of authenticity, encouraging laughter, and telling stories that haven’t had the opportunity to be viewed through this lens. His drive to continue these many efforts, and pushing the ‘Bra’ further towards bigger, yet somehow even more 'Lucky' futures. Even Billy has a Lucky Bra!

Lexi DiLucia
Executive Director
Cofounder
Lexi DiLucia is a New York City based actress, comedian, producer, model, content creator, writer, and CoFounder/Executive Director of Lucky Bra Comedy Productions. Growing up in Pittsburgh, PA, Lexi has always had big dreams for her life. In 2023 she graduated from Kent State University earning her B.F.A. in Musical Theatre, with a minor in Entrepreneurial Studies. Following graduation, she took the leap and moved to New York City with her college best friends. Within her first month, Lexi took a stand-up comedy class with Laughing Buddha. From there, her comedy career and knack for networking blossomed.
After a few months in the comedy scene, Lexi was ready to co-produce her own show! So naturally, she roped her funny, hot, and talented friends into helping her! After the success of “2 Girls, 1 Drink Minimum,” they were ready to start making meaningful and hilarious work to continue to grow their brand. Lucky Bra Comedy went on to produce two full-fledged productions before Lexi left for a seven month hiatus at sea, as a MainStage performer with Virgin Voyages! After her return, Lexi and the rest of the team felt that LBC was ready to take off the “training bra” and get a full enhancement. Now, the team has a professional website and a year-long lineup for their 2026-2027 season! Thank god she took the phrase “funny for a girl” to the fullest most possible potential.
