‘ORANGE IS THE NEW
BLACK’ STAR
LEA DELARIA
BRINGS A NIGHT OF COMEDY
AND MUSIC TO THE DINAH
Palm Springs, CA – Celebrating its milestone 26th Anniversary,
Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend, the largest lesbian event in the world, is,
once again, upping the volume on your laughter, bringing one of the hottest
veterans of Broadway musicals and stand-up comedy for an exceptional, MUST SEE
evening!
Lea DeLaria, popularly known as
"Big Boo", the butchest inmate at Litchfield on Netflix’s original
hit series, “Orange Is The New Black” is bringing a special night of comedy and
music to The Dinah.
“Lea is one of a kind. The first time
I worked with her, I was just a young promoter. Here was this LGBT pioneer,
this hot butch, a real comic genius and I was in awe. That was almost 20
years ago. The only thing that has changed is that she's an even hotter
butch now than she was then and her genius knows no bounds. I'm happy to be
working with her again and feel confident her singular brand of comedy will
jingle some body piercings that evening, “ says Mariah Hanson, founder and
producer of The Dinah.
A comedian, actress and jazz
musician, Lea DeLaria is a force to be reckoned with. Lea is the first openly
gay comic to perform on American television; she made history when she boldly
declared in 1993 on Arsenio Hall’s late-night prime-time talk show, “I’m
a biiiiigggg dyke!”
Since then, she has released her latest
jazz album, House of David: delaria+bowie=jazz, had countless
concerts, theater roles, movies and stand-up specials, and four albums with
Warner Brothers. She is also for the second year in a row, hosting the Obie
Awards In May this year. She’s of course enjoying a new level of fame now that
she’s playing ‘Big Boo’ on Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black. Last
year, DeLaria received the Equality Illinois Freedom
Award for her work as a cutting-edge performer who has used her talent to
entertain and enlighten millions of Americans.
An advocate of self-acceptance, she
recently shed her clothes as the latest participant of StyleLikeU's
video series, The What's Underneath Project.
Refusing to be invisible on screen
and in life, DeLaria stripped down to her underwear in the name of body
positivity to show that style is really about knowing who you are and
being comfortable in your own skin.
Be sure to catch Lea DeLaria at The
Dinah… in what is already billed to be an unforgettable evening of hilarious
comedy!
