About BenDeLaCreme
Director, Producer, Co-Creator, Co-Writer, Star
BenDeLaCreme is an award-winning theatre and film producer, comedian, director, writer, and global drag icon who continues to reshape and build the drag industry on a major scale.
The producing powerhouse first rose to international acclaim following superstar runs on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 (2014) and RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 3 (2018) during which she broke multiple series records and earned a spot among the show’s “15 Fan Favorites of All Time.”
Harnessing that energy, BenDeLaCreme took her career where no queen has gone before, founding her own production company, BenDeLaCreme Presents, under which she went on to write, produce and direct multiple sold-out international tours of “The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show” (winner of the 2024 Queerties Award for “Best Live Theatre”) as well as her critically acclaimed, award winning solo works “Terminally Delightful,” “Cosmos,” “Inferno A Go-Go,” and “Ready To Be Committed,” countless plays and variety shows, and the cult classic holiday film, The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Special. She’s also the director of Monét X Change‘s one-woman show “Life Be Lifin” which premiered at Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2023 to rave reviews, and she will direct and co-write “Jinkx Monsoon: Live at Carnegie Hall” taking place on Valentine’s Day 2025.
DeLa is a comedian known for her quick wit and sharp mind, as well as her work as a puppeteer, live singer, choreographer, production and costume designer, and ravishing beauty. DeLa strives to make politics, philosophy, science and literature all more accessible through entertainment. Forbes said it best: “keeping you entertained while making you think about your place in the world is all a part of the BenDeLaCreme experience.” Billboard says DeLa “soars past entertainment and into the realm of theatrical art.” TheaterMania calls her work “spectacular… helping to redefine what cabaret can be: an intoxicating cocktail of high, low, topical, and timeless” and The New York Times has hailed her as “self-possessed and chameleonic.” Her hilarious and smart comedy has landed her appearances on After Midnight (CBS), Family Feud (ABC), the TODAY Show (NBC) and a cameo role in the Hulu hit holiday film Happiest Season (2020) directed by Clea Duvall.
BenDeLaCreme has continued to utilize her massive platform to fight back against anti-LGBTQ+ hatred and legislation sweeping the U.S. with appearances at The Daily Show, MSNBC, NPR, and a heartfelt essay penned for Out Magazine. DeLa educated audiences on how politics and dangerous rhetoric negatively impact the queer and trans community on a global scale, as well as offered a message of hope to keep fighting.
