About Me

All the way from Birmingham, Alabama, Miss Lala Lovette is a drag queen trapped in the body of a young woman. Her performances are tongue in cheek comedy stripteases that often critique societal conventions, including gender rolls. She is also available for video work, party promoting, or dancing. She also has a BA in Comparative Literature from King's College London.
Miss Lala was introduced to performing at a young age. She studied theatre arts at a fine arts magnet school from 1995 until 2002. Afterwards she stopped doing straight theatre for good. However, upon moving to London she started performing again.
Miss Lala has performed at such nights and venues at Zigfried's, The Vibe Bar, Hip Hip, Tournament of Tease, Oh My God I Miss You, Grind a Go Go, the Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, Aphrodisiacs, Black Mass, the Lovebox Weekender, Volupte, Tate Moss, Funny Farm, Black Gardenia, Push, Rockabaret, Decasia, Fuck the Back Row UK, Download, Lucha Britannia, The Trailerpussy Show, The London Cabaret and Burlesque Meetup, and Chaz Royal's London Burlesque Festival, Velvet, The Beautiful and Damned Club and the Met Bar.
She has worked for several agencies including Exclusively Themed and Peekabou and regularly go-go danced with an electro-punk band called Gob$au$age. She also was an occasional performance artist at The Residence Gallery and has done video work for bands such as Dorp and The Vincent Razorbacks.
Currently, Miss Lala is living in Japan and taking a break from performing.
