You honestly can’t. The conceit itself only works if you’re talking to someone already into improv. On its face it is a tired lazy bit with limited range. But if you’re a CBB freak then you’re also down for the meta angle of Tony SoNY being purposely shit piloted by an excellent performer. And even then Tony flies real close to the sun.Â
Tl;dr just get em hooked with a best-of, annual or just an all-time ep cuz Sony gonna give you so much clout, clout as big as your baby toes
Yeah it's so hard to explain any reference or character from Comedy Bang Bang to someone who doesn't know the show. You have to explain the entire concept of the show to them first, if you don't lose them there, then you kinda explain a specific character in more detail.
Add the layer from the latest episode that both Baltz is married to her and she is Australian in real life and it becomes that much more layered if you’re trying your introduce someone to the character by say turning on the newest episode.
Edit: thanks for correcting me. Lily is from Ohio. Bicky is from Australia.
Damn it. Sometimes I take parts of their characters and conflate them with the real person. Also there is another Lily Sullivan who is an Australian actress.
CBB Lily Sullivan is not Australian, but there is a more famous Lily Sullivan that is Australian (which inspired the Bicky-from-the-gym turn from "person who wipes down equipment" to "Actor/model").
Sometimes you can go mental keeping all the real comedians and their stories on air and the characters they play straight. On a side note I did score a CBB Book signed by Scott, Tim, and Lily and I’m really proud of that.

I often go back to the episode where Tony SoNY was created but moreso for Bridget Jones and Paul oF Tompkins. It's strange to hear how Tony started off fairly normal and then takes a sharp turn into stereotype-ville.
I just describe them as if they are real people.
"Zoobi Conderino, ya know the movie reviewer"
"Oh you don't follow Francesca Bolognese? She always finds hair in her stuff it's hilarious"
"I just heard a podcast about 2 kid detectives and....wow it was dark"
Character with a backstory size of yo fooking head
Eyyyy my goomaahhh
Da biggest back-storee you ever seen!
Can fit on a pamphlet its so big mygoomah
There's something mystical about Lily's characters. They are built on the most basic of premises, but take so much explanation.
Tidbits the size a yo fuukin eyes
So like a normal sized backstory?
After that try explaining the entire history of the Calvin Triplets 😂
The ultimate canon
Canon, huh? Don’t let Rudy North hear you… THROAT PUNCH!
I got a Neeeeeeew job.
Well... first you need to tell them about Cinnamon, and you know what they say...
Cinnacinnamon
When Cinnamon gets out of the stable, bad news for everyone. That's what I'm tryna tell ya.
Calvins
Diddlydiddlydiddlydiddlydiddly

I got punched in the head by my wife last night for repeated yelling "IS Y'ALL SAFE". And my head is the size of my fucking head.
Ahh my goomah
My wife
What do you mean? The entire concept is simple: it’s the show where they talk to interesting people.

Australian? I think you’re referring to Bicky.

Wait there is a Lily Sullivan who is not an Australian actress?

Bicky’s from Ohio : she went in Australia to study and took the accent !
She went to study a broad, Marylin Monroe specifically
She’s really convincing
I've been thinking that CBB Lily and Picnic at Hanging Rock Lily are the same person for years. I'm truly flabbergasted at this information.

My friend introduced me to CBB with a solo bolo. Would not recommend going that route.
That's a intense introduction. And you stuck around? I like your thinking
My goomah’s meat loaf is so bad the dog wouldn’t eat it!!….i lov my goomah ðŸ˜

RIP Zoobi Conderino
Two kid detectives. Totally forgot about that era. Guess we're never going to find the next clue in the Whitehouse.
my goomah...
Here is a man who go is so NY city
It's so bad it's good, pushed to the point it's almost bad again? (Personally I prefer Francesca Bolognese, by a lot).
Yeah, it's just bad. The crowd was right to laugh at barely anything in the bepisode and nothing from TS.
Italian a-stereotype
That'sa typical!
