Pretty Lamé is the world’s premiere genre-queer chanteuse, breaking barriers between classical music and Drag. Her one-woman cabaret, Alles Pretty! recently played at Germany’s prestigious Internationale Maifestspiele, making her the first Drag Queen in the festival’s 130 year history to headline a solo show.

In concert, Pretty has appeared in Europe and the United States with stars from RuPaul’s Drag Race. She debuted at New York City’s Lincoln Center alongside Monét X Change, Thorgy Thor, and Sapphira Cristal in Soundcake, written by James Blaszko. And recently starred in a gala performance at the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden with Monét X Change and Kelly Heelton.

As a cabaret artist, Pretty has created and performed shows for the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami and the New York State Council for the Arts. Other original acts and shows have been seen in nightclubs throughout New York City, and the United States.

From 2020 to 2023, Pretty was a member of Brooklyn’s famed burlesque troupe Company XIV, starring as Mother Ginger in Nutcracker Rouge, and The Devil in Seven Sins (original cast recording available on Spotify).

Pretty Lamé reveals an overwhelmingly powerful tenor voice with a huge belt that fills the venerable theatre halls, but is equally capable of delicate, fragile tones.
