Deedee LaCraze is a vibrant blend of singing, camp comedy, and clownery, she's not just your average lactose 'n talented diva. From whimsical park n' barks to mesmerizing mime, chaotic mixes, and captivating choreography, Deedee promises to deliver something fresh and unexpected every single time.
Catch Deedee alongside Drag Race superstar Kendall Gender in the film STAY (King Louie Films), captivating audiences and capturing awards at film festivals around the globe. Deedee's journey includes fierce competition in Vancouver's Next Drag Superstar 2023, where she was deemed a lip-sync superstar, as well as runner up in Kelowna's Next Drag Superstar 2016.
2024 marks Deedee's 10th dragiversary, which began in Kelowna and included a series of sold out "Yumi and Deedee Present” shows.

Drag4Kids- Educational Family Oriented Content!
Just like any other artform, like your favourite movies, TV shows and plays, drag is a vast artform of expression and exists on a spectrum with a variety of genres. While Deedee performs in clubs for adults, she also performs at all ages events, where she curates her performances for the specific audience. The same way that you won't catch Deedee performing the ABC's at 12am at The Junction, you won't see her performing a song with profanity at a 12pm all ages brunch. In addition to teaching Drag Camp for 2 summers, Deedee was also a part of creating Educational Videos for kids, the same way your favourite childhood clown, The Wiggles, Blippi or Ms Rachel would!
