Miss Amy is a drag DJ, host and performer who turns the party both on the stage and behind the decks, with her performances known for a drizzle of pop culture, a sprinkle of amateur acrobatics and a big dollop of filth to top it off

Affectionately called "The DJ with the Double D's" a classic Amy set is chock-full of pop and dance bops past and present, house and disco ditties especially with a q***r emphasis, and an overall fierceness that is so distinctly Amy 🪩

As for the queen herself, Ms. L'Amour is known for her filthy humour, ridiculous curves, high energy and warm personality, and with nearly a decade in the game that's why she's everyone's crazy, drag Auntie Amy 💖
