BOSTON, MA — There is a distinct power that emerges when women decide they are completely done shrinking themselves. This November, Boston’s pop-culture and literary communities are about to witness that explosive energy firsthand, as two generational icons team up to flip the script on ambition, fame, and unapologetic self-hood.
When Emmy Award-winning television host and podcast mogul Keltie Knight announced her national book tour, appropriately dubbed The Evil Genius Tour, it promised to be a cultural moment.
But for the highly anticipated Boston stop at The Rockwell, the stakes have officially doubled. Joining Knight as the evening’s celebrity moderator is bestselling author and cultural phenomenon Holly Madison.
Together, these long-time friends are bringing a raw, filter-free conversation to town that proves weaponizing your villain era might just be the ultimate act of self-care.
The Visionary Behind the Curtain: A Boston Homecoming
While Knight and Madison will command the spotlight, the mastermind orchestrating this entire multi-city experience is none other than media visionary and Boston University graduate Charlie Fusco. As the founder of TGC Worldwide—the agency producing and executing the tour—Fusco’s involvement brings the story full circle.
For Fusco, bringing The Evil Genius Tour to the Boston area is a powerhouse homecoming. Having cut her teeth and honed her formidable creative and directorial skills right here in the city at BU, Fusco has spent decades building an empire as an executive producer, brand strategist, and elite talent manager.
Known for managing massive personal brand platforms and engineering one-of-a-kind global events, Fusco has designed this tour stop to be far more than a routine press junket. It’s a meticulously crafted interactive experience designed to match the high-octane energy of Boston’s sharpest minds.
The Double Threat: Knight and Madison Take the Stage
For anyone who has tracked the modern entertainment landscape, Knight and Madison represent the gold standard of subverting expectations. Knight, a powerhouse who has navigated the demanding worlds of Hollywood reporting and media empire-building, wrote this book as a manifesto for the ambitious, exhausted, and gloriously over-it human.
Enter Holly Madison. As a woman who famously rewrote her own narrative after stepping out of the reality TV microscope, Madison knows exactly what it takes to reclaim your name, your voice, and your power.
November 20th is a homecoming of sorts for Madison, too. Much like Fusco, she launched her entertainment career as a Boston-based production assistant. It was during this time—before relocating to Los Angeles—that she immersed herself in creative projects that ultimately helped shape her iconic multi-media vision.
Having Madison grill Knight on stage isn’t just a standard book talk—it’s a meeting of the minds between two women who refuse to let the industry define them. Their shared history guarantees a dynamic that blends sharp-witted intellectual depth with the juicy, unfiltered truths that (spoiler alert!) may not be printed in the pages.
What to Expect: A No-Rules Masterclass in Reclaiming Your Power
Staged at Somerville’s intimate Rockwell venue, The Evil Genius Tour is explicitly designed to ensure you won’t walk out the same person who walked in. The event moves beyond a passive author reading, trading the traditional format for an interactive, full-sensory experience.
Ticket holders can look forward to:
The Ultimate Pop-Culture Cross-Examination: Holly Madison steering an exclusive, deep-dive discussion that uncovers Knight’s hidden inspirations and the emotional truths behind the book.
The Emotive Writing & Manifestation Workshop: A hands-on segment led directly by Knight to help attendees stop apologizing for being “too much.”
Villain-Origin-Story VIP Access: Elite tier access offering a personal photo op, custom book signings, premium seating, and the tour’s signature devil-horn headbands.
Why This Convergence Matters
In a world that has asked -frustratingly at times has the nerve to still ask- women to lower their voices, compromise their dreams, and play nice, Knight, Madison, and Fusco are issuing a collective refusal.
By pairing Knight’s fierce strategic ambition and Madison’s masterclass in personal reinvention with Fusco’s powerhouse Boston-bred orchestration, the evening serves as a grand rallying cry for all audiences, women and men!
Whether you’re a devout listener of Knight’s media universe, a lifelong fan of Madison’s independent journey, or someone simply ready to step into their own power, this stop is the ultimate destination.
Clear your calendar for Friday, November 20th—because missing this room means watching from the sidelines while everyone else uncovers their inner evil genius.
